An arrangement of songs that represent the confused state of mind of a seventeen year old discovering newfound failures within himself and his life, hopeful to lift some part of life back up or contribute to society in some way moving forward. It's a representation of frustration and hope, as it was also a challenge I issued myself 3 weeks prior to the EP's release - to make an EP in three weeks during an in-season school year with no professional mixing, and to show a real insight into my own mindset at times. If I was unsatisfied with the result of the songs, I would not release them and I would "fail" this self-made challenge, albeit with honesty to myself. I was able to accept and be met with satisfaction with my results so I could go through with the release and hopefully make others feel something from this music; whatever emotion they need at that time - to be a source of fulfillment. In essence, that is the ultimate goal of this release.

This single began as a joke, as I was streaming myself trying to come up with ideas for songs to make, when it was recommended to me that I make a jazzy song but "not elevator music-y". So, I did my best emulation of an instrumental cafe-style jazz song with "stanky" saxophone solos and interwoven piano parts. When I was nearly finished with the song, that same viewer told me I was a "funky little guy", so naturally, that became the song's name. About a day or so later, I was curious as to what vocals would sound like to the ironically-created song. As I added them, I simply just had fun with the process in its entirety and changed the mood throughout the song quite a bit, whether it be voice modulation or synth leads and rising/falling atmosphere, though like my other songs, I did not use the time for pitch correction! The time was for fun, and so was this release. All in all, this song tells the story of what it's like and what it takes to be a "funky little guy".
