about

" 'the last word' from Butterfly Effect is a song I began during those first bleak months of the lockdown. I came back to it during the last bleak months of the election cycle. It is me at my most existentially self-indulgent… but I really like the vocal. Finishing this song and track became the jumping off point for this EP." — David Woodard

“… Another guy vibing a bit of Fountains of Wayne is David Woodard on this recent EP Butterfly Effect. It’s there on the opening to ‘the last word,’ but Woodard quickly takes the song in his own direction. The track has a low key hook so subtlety placed that it’s only on repeated listenings that it really gets into your head.” — Poprock Record (poprockrecord.com)

lyrics

V1
I’ve been staring at the same four walls for days
Trying to find the center of myself
But I keep giving into anxiety

C1
I keep kicking against the questions
that everyone expects an answer from me

I keep staring at the blank pages
Looking for traces of me

V2
I’ve been pacing up and down these floors all night
Trying to sleep walk through my dreams
But I keep waking up to reality

C2
That I been kicking against the questions
that everyone demands an answer from me

I keep searching outside myself
for any signs of our humanity

I’ve been waiting for the last word (and the one after that)

V3
I’ve been staring in the mirror at me my whole life
Loneliness knocking at my door but
but it doesn’t scare me like it scared me before

C3
I keep knocking down all the answers
that everyone says that I should believe

I keep searching within myself
for any drop of my humanity

I’ve keep waiting for the last word (and the one after that)

David Woodard Nashville, Tennessee

David Woodard returns with GET IT GOOD, a full-length effort full of his trademark sugar-sweet melodies and harmonies. There is much more here than throwbacks to the Liverpool’s favorite sons. David influences are often on his sleeve as overtones of Fountains of Wayne, Cheap Trick, Big Star, The Rolling Stones, and even boygenius trickle from your speakers like familiar friends. ... more
