Medium Horny by French Cassettes

Reflection from Lorenzo Scott Huerta:

“The song started as just finger shapes I liked the look of on my guitar. But truth be told the inspiration is split into 4 of my favorite songwriters. The first verse is Johnny Marr, middle section is Jeff Lynne and Bill Evans, the outro is Elliott Smith. I’ve never heard a full Evans song in my life I don’t think but I’ve heard he does ‘chord solos’ and I loved that idea so I wrote a guitar solo of just strummed chords.

When we recorded it I tried to re-record the guitars and our guitarist Mackenzie said ‘Why?’ which was a good point so we just kept the demo guitars. Probably one of the strangest songs we’ve ever written but the only hiccup was when I told the band the name of the song and I remember there was a full 3 seconds of pause, then we got to work.”

Lyrics

Lyrics By: Lorenzo Scott Huerta, French Cassettes, Vocals / Guitar

Oh, maybe I try
To impress you with my being a donor
Phoneless lust seems unsafe and unlikely
My neighbors need answers
Gimme the question
I’m more than lazy, but I’m less than exciting
And medium horny
You’ve a rolodex of holy women for me
I’m a Sunbeam so she must be lonely
I’m sick of bar banter
But attracted to the neon

Oh, maybe I try not to guess
So I’m just reading it over
Boneless thugs seem to hate and to like me
It’s not what I’m after
But it’s something I can lean on

(You used to call me that)

Time suggests we live better than this
Better than this

Hold my glasses
Hold my only key home
Even if they ask us
Blame it on the service of a cell phone
