supertartory CONNORPARTY manage to make an album that stands up to their amazing debut and even surpass it in some aspects. I can’t help but adore everything about this album, even the weaker moments have me at the least, dancing. The writing is still stellar and it’s amazing seeing a more mature Connor tackling these themes, it’s just amazing to see maturity over time. Seeing growth from his debut. This album was never going to be the same as Flying Colors!
Favorite track: Time & Time.

Tomorrow 07:06

It was the night of my disgrace The last night in this horrid place You could read it all over my face All of feelings I couldn’t trace, cause I just can’t explain what I want and who’s to blame I wish I could take the pain away And I feel And I crawl I reach for something more than a wall When you ask me For a reason All I know is I just can’t explain, no, I just can’t explain I just can’t explain when all you fear is tomorrow’s pain  It was the night that it would end Before we were just friends again I tried to clear my mind, I tried to pretend But the hope in your eyes filled me with dread, now I just can’t explain, it’s no ones fault and we’re okay I wish I could take the pain away I wish I could but, I just can’t explain, I just can’t explain I just can’t explain when all you hope is in another day, but Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? It was the night that I broke your truth as I felt tomorrow tie the noose You planned the weather and you planned the news. But when you ask me, oh I just can’t explain, no, I just can’t explain I just can’t explain when all you fear is tomorrow’s pain, cause When you heart is set on another day There’s a voice in my head that I can’t explain Did you feel it when that vision broke Did you feel it? Did you feel it? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? When you heart is set on another day There’s a voice in my head that I can’t explain Did you feel it when that vision broke Did you feel it? Did you feel it? Did you feel it in your soul? Was your heartbeat set on hold? Did you feel it in your soul set on tomorrow? My life goes like this.

I’m feeling better now with all that behind. I think I owe myself  Just one more try. But I spend all day in my room And when I face the afternoon I feel my heart has lost composure As I yearn to pull you closer. The afternoon Cause in the afternoon, I feel down. The afternoon Cause in the afternoon I feel down. Cause I just wanna talk to you, But I don’t want to make a move. Cause I just wanna talk to you, But I don’t want to make a move. V2. I feel I’m better now, Now that I know what I want, without a doubt. So why don’t I let it happen If I can make it hot, and I know how But I think it’s all lead to this, Where I can keep myself from bliss And I can face the afternoon And I don’t have to talk to you! (In the afternoon.) (Cause in the afternoon.) But I’ll feel alright, (The afternoon). And I feel alright Cause in the afternoon I tell myself a lie, That I need you to feel alright. Alright, and I feel alright. (In the afternoon) And I feel alright. (In the afternoon) But I’ll feel alright. (In the afternoon) And I feel alright. Cause in the afternoon I try to talk to you I try to make it work, I try to make it move. And I always come to find that it’s no use You’re so fuckin’ dry, and you’re kinda rude, yeah, So I don’t want to talk to you, yeah, And I don’t wanna make a move, yeah. And I don’t want to talk to you, yeah, And I don’t wanna make a move Cause I don’t want to talk to you And I’m not gonna make a move! Cause I don’t want to talk to you, And I’m not gonna make a move! But I feel alright, And I feel alright. But I feel alright, Yeah I feel alright.

Did you get what you needed? Did I get it right? Did I disappear completely? Out of body and out of sight The night that I last saw you When we took our delight You said “I’ll see you soon” and those words, they still bite But I gave all I had I put myself into you So get out of my life or get into my room Cause You’re all I see You’re all I want My pain is just an afterthought Cause you’re all I need And You’re all I want My pain is just an afterthought You’re all I want You’re all I want You’re all I want You’re all I want. Can you take me back Hold me close Let me do what I want to you You’re all that I want and you’re all that I hate.  So can you lie there and take it: All my stupid insecurities? Or will you lie to me baby? Run away and keep your purity. But I’m pretty fuckin cool And you’re just kinda blue And if you won’t take it from me Then I got better things to do. Cause I’m all I know And I’ll admit I’m better off without your shit Cause I’m all I want    If you’re not into it Then give back my sweater cause I’m over this Cause i took you too a sick ass show I let you sit upon my throne We danced through the street and through the snow But still I want to let you know that You’re all I want and you’re all I hate Can you take me back Hold me close Let me do what I want to you Can you take me back Hold me close Let me do what I want to you Can you take me back Hold me close Let me do what I want to you, You’re all that I want and you’re all that I hate.  You’re all I want You’re all I want You’re all I want You’re all I want. My life goes like this Experimental dishwashing techniques. Valerian root time capsules. One on ones and one in ones. Belts that wax and wane. The way you’ve always pulled it off From three days into one bottle.

Here I am again, Planning it all out, And starting anew. Here I am again,  Writing the invitation Addressed to you. Here I am again, With the weight of the world, Waiting for you. Cause you’re all I want, And you’re all I need, Or so I’ve always believed. Cause you’re all I want, And you’re all I need, So come join the party, babe. But if you’re all I want, And you’re all I need, What does that make of me. But if you’re all I want, And you’re all I need, Then there’s no party, babe. Cause I’m all I want, And I’m all I need, So come join the party, babe.

Sitting by the doorway, Sitting in my prime, and while it’s Not too much to look at, At least I can say I tried. 
Sitting by the doorway, Sinking into my prime. Sitting in the order, where I’m Guaranteed to find: 
So much time, But I want more, I want more memories to store. So much time, But I want more, I want more memories to store. So much time, But I want more, I want more memories to store. So much time, But I want more, I just want memories to store, cause, Time and time again I find I’m Back where I’ve always been and I take Time and time again asking: When will all this end? Oh. Time and time again I find I’m Back where I’ve always been and I take Time and time again asking: When will all this end? Cause, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take, Time and time again, and I’ll take time, and I’ll take… So as I’m sitting by the doorway, I try to tell myself I’ll be fine But I can’t just can’t shake the feeling that it’s all apathy in disguise h ip lol n q Sitting outside the party Like I’m waiting for sign, but I must Give myself some patience as I Make my way inside, cause Time and time again I find I’m Back where I’ve always been and I take Time and time again asking When will all this end? Oh Time and Time again I find I’m Back where I’ve always been and I take Time and time again asking when All this will end Cause I want more But not more of this I want more of all the chances that I missed But I want more And all I have is this And I’ll take a chance and this time I won’t resist Cause I want more But not more of this I want more of all the chances that I missed Cause I want more But all I have is this So I’ll take a chance and this time I won’t resist, no, I won’t resist, I won’t resist

The Wrong Floor 06:13

And in the dawn of miralax and green, grainy smoothies I wish for my life back. Cause as you left I said something stupid and watched you take my context with you. Stupid Unnecessary Bloated (You were always there) (You were always there) (You were always there) (You were always there) (You were always there) (You were always there) (You were always there) (You were always there) I saw you standing there,  And I met those eager eyes We exchanged a bit of air, Then you went off into the night. And after that I dreamed That I would see you again. And with just a single memory I twisted you through my head. Eventually we made it to that stage, And I sang for you. Through blinding lights and a dreary haze, I looked for you. 
And while I couldn’t produce any proof, I thought I saw you there. But I know the truth: That you were always there. 
Cause I saw you there, I just didn’t know what to say. Oh I saw you there, Without a thing to say. A few months later you float to the tops of the trees just out of sight I’m grabbing the groceries out of the back of the car A cool, grey mist seizes me And I walk towards my new apartment building I take the stairs, I see the lights in the distance But coming out of the stairwell, something feels wrong Cause I got off at the wrong floor And you’re not what I’ve come for, babe But you’re what I want more, babe, you’re what I want more, babe.

Anew 06:16

Tonight, I found myself more. Tonight I’ve found myself,  Mourning all the nights that I’ve lost. Mourning this whole life, Spent staring at the clock. After all I’d built, Had come to a halt. Cause through another unforgiving winter I slipped myself into a rhythm Finally in a place  That felt right. Cause all that I had ever wanted Unfolded out of this sea of longing And I found myself on a stage Looking for you. Cause I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. Yeah I was starting to give,  Starting to give a shit. Cause I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. Yeah I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. So this just feels Like more wasted days, Of my youth, and all that I had made. But it’s my fault That it feels this way. Cause I wanted you. But I just didn’t know what to say. But that’s a lie and we all know it, I had so many chances to compose it. Now it’s wasted youth, wasted time, Oh its wasted youth on fears and lies. And while I always say I regret nothing At the end of the day, I have nothing. Now I’m here, and I’ll admit, It’s not alright, no it’s not alright. Cause I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. Yeah I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. Cause I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. Yeah I was starting to give, Starting to give a shit. But I’ll never forget this place. But I’ll never forget this place. But I’ll never forget this place. And all it’s done for me But now I think I’m finally where I’m supposed to be And if you wanna leave the party, babe,  I’ll be alright, oh I’ll be alright, oh And I’ll write more stories about the way That you made me feel on the coldest days.  But now I think I’m finally good on my own, And I’ll be alright, oh, I’ll feel alright.  But I’ll feel alright, and I’ll feel alright. Yeah I’ll feel alright and I’ll feel alright. But I’ll feel alright, and I’ll feel alright. Yeah I’ll feel alright and I’ll feel alright.

about

So, yeah, sorry that took so long, but I’ve finally completed my sophomore record, “The Party!”. About two years ago I was in the middle of a completely different record, meant to follow up 2018’s “Flying Colors!”. It was a collection of cold, lonely, rough around the edges tracks that very much suited my state of mind at the time. But a few months into 2019, a big shift occurred in my life. Suddenly, I found myself around people again, barreling through my social anxiety issues like never before. This drastically altered my focus and interests, and after a few breakdowns or whatever, I saw a chance for escape through “Tomorrow” and I took it.


What follows in this record is what I can essentially call my Tinder record. However, I can’t exactly say this in the same, amicable way that Björk did when talking about her 2017 record, “Utopia”. This shit kinda sucked sometimes, man, but hey I mean I guess learned something or whatever they say on tv. But seriously, this album wasn’t just born out of a need to cope through the struggles of an oversaturation of romance and heartache. This album came from a want to connect more and a strong need to make people dance. In moving to Denver this past year, I’ve made a lot of friends through performing with Michael in Platonic Belt, and gained experiences with these friends which have greatly depended my connection and passion for music. I’m really grateful for that, and I’m looking forward to our future. I have no clue what’s happening next, but for now, welcome to the party!

Special thanks to my beautiful friend and roommate Michael Joffrion for sitting through all of these fucking tracks played over and over again for the last two years, as well as giving pointers and suggestions on multiple tracks.
