“To be famous in 2019 one must possess (in addition to talent, or at least popularity) a patina of authenticity and a willingness to admit wrongdoing. Also: an iPhone” - Lindsey Weber for NYT.
The notes app apology is a zeitgeist of our era - a precision calculated PR statement dressed in sweatpants to appear authentic. It sidesteps accountability and offers a thin veneer of vulnerability in its place, which is why I’m glad to see that we are collectively not falling for it anymore. This song began at the end of May as a response to the infamous LDR non-apology, but in the wake of #blackouttuesday and the exposure of racist behaviour from prominent influencers and media folk it feels deeply relevant to our present state.
100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Hogans Alley Society and the Wish Drop in Centre in the DTES of Vancouver.

On Camera
Ohhh
On Camera
On Camera
On Camera
Ahhhhh
On Camera
I'm so sorry for all of those things I said
But they are not a reflection of who I am
(You can ask my friends)
I have grown up so much in the last two weeks
I'm drafting a notes app apology
With my legal team
And by the next season
I'll be back on screen
But they're never gonna fall
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall for that one
No they're
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall for that one, no
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall for that one
Don't you know that they
Don't you know they got it all on camera?
On Camera
Ohhh
On Camera
On Camera
Ahhhhh
On Camera
My friends told me that I should wait out the heat
Cause news ages quick on the social feeds
And the studio has sunk too much in me to care
If this were the 90s
They would have sent me to therapy
Or made me donate generously
To all those in need
But these days with one post
I'll get back on my feet
I know I know I know I know I'm not a good man but
Haven't you been entertained?
I know I know I know I don't deserve it but wont you
Let me back in the saddle again?
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall for that one
No they're
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall for that one, no
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall
Never gonna fall for that one
Don't you know that they
Don't you know they got it all on camera?
On Camera
Ohhh
On Camera
Don't you know they got it all
