Formed during a six week intensive songwriting camp the five members of BURGER came together to write and produce their single “Beautiful Distraction”. The teens assembled over zoom from all across America. With the help of laughter and friendship their music blends into a melancholy ballad filled with sounds from the city that is comparable to the likes of Lauv and JP Saxe. Abby Kenna, Amelia Kate, JoJo Scott, Nolan Gibbons, and Nolan Jack created a powerhouse musical group that can only be considered as the ‘burger’ to your ‘fries'.
Dedicated to our amazing friend and member Nolan Gibbons, we love and miss you.
Verse 1:
You would hate that you can’t see the stars
But he lives in neon constellations
And that’s all he’s ever cared for
Smoke from the subway
And all that city noise
It feels so quiet in a loud place
So crowded and alone
Pre-Chorus:
It just doesn’t compare
Chorus:
I didn’t know the little things that drove me crazy
Were the things I’d miss the most
I didn’t know the hard times were necessary
The ecstasy was temporary
He was a beautiful distraction
But it’s not you and me
Verse 2:
His apartment
Doesn’t feel like home
Never thought I’d miss your chaos
And the mess I’ve come to know
Pre-Chorus:
He just doesn’t compare
Chorus:
I didn’t know the little things that drove me crazy
Were the things I’d miss the most
I didn’t know the hard times were necessary
The ecstasy was temporary
He was a beautiful distraction
But it’s not you and me
Bridge:
Compare and contrast
Moved on too fast
Wanna go back
I'm not worthy of that
Chorus:
I didn’t know the little things that drove me crazy
Were the things I’d miss the most
I didn’t know the hard times were necessary
The ecstasy was temporary
He was a beautiful distraction
But it’s not you and me
It’s not you and me
It’s not you and me
