Mr. No-one, he wanted to be a star
That’s all we are trying to do
We’re just tryin’ to make our mark
He believed in a big future
Wanted everyone to look and say “there he goes…”
He said: “Life’s much better when you’re rich”
I said: “Isn’t a man made of more than his clothes?"
He told me: “I wanna be somebody”
(I wanna be somebody)
“I know I am somebody”
(I know I am somebody, yeah)
“I wanna be somebody”
(I wanna be somebody)
“I know I am somebody
(I know I am someboy)
But I need real somebody, yeah
You shoot your arrow in the air
And it flies real high
Well, good for you but that don’t mean
Everybody’s going to
You shoot your arrow in the air
And it flies real high
Well good for you but that don’t mean
Everybody’s going to
Soon you’re gonna rise up singing
Believing you can leave all this behind
Your daddy ain’t rich and your mamma never loved you
But still you’re gonna spread your wings and fly
He said: “if only they could really see me
But how could I ever be sure
Life’s much better when you see it on TV
This hope is a curse and a cure”
He told me: “I wanna be somebody”
(I wanna be somebody)
“I know I am somebody”
(I know I am somebody, yeah)
“I wanna be somebody”
(I wanna be somebody)
“I know I am somebody
(I know I am someboy)
But I need real somebody, yeah
You shoot your arrow in the air
And it flies real high
Well, good for you but that don’t mean
Everybody’s going to
You shoot your arrow in the air
And it flies real high
Well good for you but that don’t mean
Everybody’s going to
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
I wanna be somebody
(I wanna be somebody)
I know I am somebody
(I know I am somebody)
But I need real somebody
You shoot your arrow in the air
And it flies real high
Well, good for you but that don’t mean
Everybody’s going to
You shoot your arrow in the air
And it flies real high
Well good for you but that don’t mean
Everybody’s going to

Thirteen previously unreleased songs from NYC acts like Half Waif and Shilpa Ananth to raise money for New Yorkers in need. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 1, 2020
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
This album is single-handedly getting me through my seasonal depression. Captures the energy of the season perfectly, and with a nice hopeful message to remind myself to keep going. <33 redrevelry
