about

Detroit musician and writer, Red Pill, pens his newest melancholy ode to real life over L'Orange production that sounds like something scored for a Charles Bukowski film soundtrack.

Red Pill says:
"The entire album "Look What This World Did To Us" can be reduced to this one song, "That's Okay". It's about the Millenial Generation's quarter life crisis. Simple, daily problems like getting a wrong fast food order can seem like tipping points. No one is immune to the transition from adolescence to adulthood. It's just a matter of how we deal with it. I'm still trying to figure that out."

lyrics

[Verse 1]
And there's some mornings that I want to cry
Feel like I'm mourning but nobody died
Put on some music take a morning drive
Try to remember that there's more than I
I made a promise and I swore to God
I'll break that promise around four or five
Me and you we got some more to hide
Feel like I'm losing but the score is tied
I hit the drive thru and I order fries
A burger and I watch the server pour the ice
Gotta imagine she's as poor as I
I know she wonders if there's more to life
She thinks about the future and she's mortified
Tells herself tonight she's getting organized
Having a crisis at a quarter life
Onions on my quarter pounder, didn't get my order right

[Chorus]

But hey, that's okay
Tomorrow is another day
It's like, that's alright
Maybe in another life
I'm just trying to get my shit together
Just trying to get my shit together
Just trying to get my shit together

[Verse 2]

I'm just trying to get my shit together
Come here and we can sit together
Sit around and just forget together
Getting older, we don't live forever
I think this world could use some empathy
I don't think this world was meant for me
Now I believe that to the nth degree
I wasn't fit for this shit mentally
But it'll all work out eventually
I'll be seventy, reminiscing sentimentally
Assuming I achieve my life expectancy
And don't fall victim to heredity
Shit I'm just trying to live authentically
Respectably and find my own serenity
Feel like I'm walking this world endlessly
Dependency and failure of identity

[Chorus]

Chris Orrick Detroit, Michigan

Chris Orrick is the patron saint of a poisoned world. The blue-collar MC writes spiteful chants for the permanently scarred, death letters for the forgotten, surly hymns for charcoal lungs. Think Bukowski on an eloquent bender, swapping wine for whiskey, a notepad for a glowing LED screen, the race track for the recording booth. These are anthems for the irate, over-educated and under-valued. ... more
