Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue How long until I see the sun I miss it so I miss him some But now the sun has gone away All I see is your fat face sitting in a hole in the sky Tell me what the hell I gotta say? Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue You’re just like pissing in the wind A real bad idea to begin But I’ve done pissed out what I can And now I’m down a half handle of vodka With a half an erection And I’m feeling like a half a man Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue I was just fine before we met Now I smoke menthol cigarettes Yes ma’am you broke my heart in two You left me lonely down on rock bottom With 13 dollars and a bag of chips Tell me what the hell am I gonna do? Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker, Heartbreaker you You make me blue

Only takes a couple days To escape and go back to the country The LA heat, it hurts my feet I am going back to the country Living in a fantasy of funny trees And Spanish flavored regalia I feel death breath his breath down my neck Hey death, would you take me back to the country? I am going back to the country Someone take me right away I can’t wait another day I am going back to the country Walking through McArthur Park in the dark To sell myself to the trash But a hobo’s bash I do crash And we’re all going back to the country Would you take us back to the country? Someone take me right away I can’t wait another day I am going back to the country Doing what the monkeys say Do da de. Now shoot yourself in the lip But I slip and I shoot my hip Now I’m limping back to the country Could I get a ride to the country? Would you take me back to the country? I am going back to the country

about

Yo! What’s up it’s me Jon and I’m writing this bio in the first person. Don’t worry about it. Who cares about formalities. I do what I want. Anyway, Jonathan Something is an attempt at satisfying sonically my own mercurial, restless taste in music. It’s difficult to describe my sound on the largest sense of itself because I have no intention of remaining static and the music I’m writing and creating currently is largely different than what you’ve heard from me so far. I’d like to think that by swearing oath to an ever-dynamic sound I’m positioning myself in a trajectory towards creating totally unique music that is exclusive to myself. But for now, I don’t know, I suppose I make satirical folk rock music.

“Heartbreaker” is a satirical, hyperbolized look at post breakup emotion wrapped up in an indie Motown banger. Tipping its hat to old time classics like Ariel Pink’s ‘Baby’ and Richard Swift’s ‘Broken Finger Blues’, it’s a song about taking the piss out of whoever dumped you. It's the ground zero of a breakup where things seem quite uncertain and you're unsure how to navigate any such reconstruction.

The B side of this incredible two track, “Back to the Country”, is about the soul sucking city that is LA. Yep – we’re not even going to buffer that with some on the fence comment. This track is what happens when you’ve entered purgatory/limbo and you spend almost a month walking around downtown LA trying to find your soul/a job but having no success. So naturally you’re left wishing that you were back on the safe, beautiful, quiet and clean east coast.
