I just wanna slow dance with you, I know all the other boys are tough and smooth… but I just wanna slow dance with you
So, I wanted to give you guys a bit of a backstory on the song I wrote called “Slow Dance” (it airs on Cartoon Network’s Adventure time this sunday!!!!!!!). I wrote slow dance about this girl I had a big crush on, and she liked me too but she had a boyfriend. The girl in question is actually the person talking in the intro of the original demo of “Slow Dance” ( https://soundcloud.com/babeobaggins/slow-dance-demo ) She had a boyfriend and I wasn’t a boy… (to her). I identify as Genderfluid, and I feel very he/him most of the time. I was so heartbroken because I knew I wasn’t a “boy” in her eyes but I thought I could be, if she let me. Hence, “I know all the other boys are tough and smooth”. It’s okay tho, she’s a very lovely girl and I wrote a really good song out of it. I’m happy you all like it so much. Just wanted you all to know the root of the song.
Be sure to watch the episode Marcy & Hunson on Adventure Time this sunday at 730 pm so you can see marcy see sing my song on big little screen :)))))
p.s a full finished version of slow dance will be on my album that comes out next year for everyone who keeps asking lol
