Do you ever sometimes in line someone's standing like right here and you start
thinking, ♫ "Don't stand! Don't stand! Don't stand so close to me!" ♫
So the song is gonna be kind of about that. I just had a...a
situation this week where a touched when I didn't want to be touched. And that was
fucking irritating and put me in a really bad mood. And it reminds me of all
these different situations where people are in your personal bubble and you
don't want them there and it's not appropriate for them to be there. One of
my favs Julie Goldman was having like a whole
Instagram battle over that this week so it's kind of in theme of what I've been
thinking about. Julie took a photo of this guy who is like taking up this
whole fucking middle seat that was open but he was like all up
infringing on her space on the other side. That would fucking kill my body and
brain. And it reminded me of this one time where I did talk to somebody that
was doing that. It was this elderly couple and I was in the middle seat and
the lady was over here and the man was over here first thing that fucking
pissed me off they're having a conversation over me and their spit is
flying on to me. So they're already bugging me that they decided to put me
in that situation and completely ignore me don't even look at me or
acknowledge me. Then the man on this side starts putting
his foot in my space. Like, you know there are the boundaries here of space the
armrest to the armrest is yours; the little metal part to the metal part is
yours. And he put his foot on this side of the metal part and I was seething and
full of rage and anger over that. And so I had to say something.
And I did. And it's one of my prouder moments I told him like you're you can't
have your foot over there, that's my... this is my seat. Like, please put your foot
over on that side. And he wouldn't get it. And he had plenty of space where he
could have put his leg except he was all up in my space. So I talked to him and
I'm happy that I did that, but here's the dilemma: the entire rest of the six-hour
flight I was full of rage and this guy kept trying to like push the boundaries.
So this is the thing about confronting a situation where somebody is in your
personal space and boundaries: like you don't know how the person's
gonna react. In that situation, the guy did finally move his foot after like an
argument that we had. But in this situation this week I didn't say
anything to the person that touched me I just avoided them for the rest of the
time because I don't know the person that well, I don't know how they're gonna
react to me say something saying something about it, and I would rather
just like completely ignore them than have to deal with talking to them. Like
it should be fucking obvious due to this circumstance that they shouldn't have
done what they did. So anyway this is going to be in that genre of anger and aggresion.
AAARRRGGG!
Don't fucking touch me. So that's what the song is gonna be about and it's channeling
all those influences. I made a voice memo yesterday it's kind of in the Sam Cooke
Irma Thomas type of sixties soul type vein. L et's hear it. This is the chorus:
♫ Don't fucking touch me. ♫
So that's the chorus and this is the little, a little part that I had an idea for the
verse:
♫ Human contact is a cornerstone of humanity. ♫
♫ But that doesn't mean you can touch me. ♫
so yeah just this idea. Cuz I like hugs
I like human contact I think you know all of us like it to a certain extent
some people are more touchy some people are less, but every I think there's
certain times when you do it. Like you're not gonna see people again for a long
time so you hug them goodbye or somebody's crying and you're on a
certain level with them where you touch them on the shoulder or something.
There's certain things in society that are known when you use human contact to
make someone feel better and certain ones that are not appropriate.
Public transportation, at work, just among strangers in general you know obviously
the whole "me too" thing in like that whole dynamic of powerful people using their
power to touch less powerful people.
♫ ♫ ♫
Oh, it's just C major.
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ Don't fucking touch me. ♫
I rarely if ever use a pick. I like using my fingers, but this may be one for picks.
♫ Human contact is a cornerstone of humanity. ♫
Right. Let's start writing!
So this is funny and this is fun. Because this is a topic that you know
comes up a lot and it's quite relevant to our, today's times!
and it's very C major, easy
it's very like, ♫" Don't know much about history." ♫ That type of a song.
Human contact...
is a cornerstone of humanity. But that doesn't mean you can touch me.
get out of my
space...get back in your own.
Polite society...
What rhymes with "own"? Rhymezone.
♫Get outta my space! ♫
♫ Get back in your own...♫
I'm thinking "zone." Like out of your safe zone.
♫ Go back in your own...♫
I don't want you in mine and I made it known.
So don't fucking touch me!
Don't fucking touch me.
And yeah. Maybe I should have said something I should have
pulled the person to the side and just let them know like, "Hey. I didn't
appreciate that." And you know if I ever see the person again and have the
opportunity to maybe I will say it because I don't...this is the thing. I
don't think any of these people are necessarily bad people they're just
entitled and they don't realize their entitlement to other people's space or bodies.
♫ ♫ ♫
And it's like this like the whole street harassment conversation, too - and how people
are like, "Oh but they're just trying to be nice! They're just trying to
compliment you! Like, what what you can't even fucking take a compliment?"
And that type of conversation. And it's so frustrating when these people think that
they're complimenting you but they're just making you feel weird and
embarrassed. And it's like, just don't. Are you complimenting like these six other
dudes right here or are you just complimenting me? And like just making me
feel singled out and weird. So that's part of this whole dynamic too that I've
been thinking about lately. I, you know friends posting with the whole #MeToo
thing and it rises to sexual harassment but then there are these small stage
things that all are like sort of bumping up against you at all times, and it gets
so irritating. What should the bridge be? I kind of want to do a key change, too.
Because it's such a simple progression and the progression is the same from the
verse to the chorus so I'm wondering if there's like a key change opportunity
that I can do.
♫ You're not a bad guy; maybe just uninformed. ♫
♫ Don't fucking touch people when you have been warned. ♫
♫ Don't fucking touch... ♫
♫ ♫ ♫
That's how it's gonna... that's how the key change is gonna work! It's gonna be
out the end of the bridge. Yay! I'm finally doing a key change in a song!
I never have before so I'm excited.
I know your mama told you keep your hands to yourself.
Keep your hands to yourself.
♫ ♫ ♫
♫ Human contact is a cornerstone of humanity. ♫
♫ But that doesn't mean you can touch me. ♫
♫ Get out of my space. Get back in your own. ♫
♫ Don't want you in mine and I made it known. ♫
so
♫ don't fucking touch me. ♫
♫ You're not a bad guy. Maybe just uninformed. ♫
♫ Don't touch other people when you have been warned.♫
♫ Don't fucking touch me. ♫
♫ I know your mama told you keep your hands to yourself. ♫
♫ Heed her advice if you wanna keep your health. ♫
♫ Touch me and I'll show you myself. ♫
♫ Don't fucking touch me. ♫
