Silent Notifications
2014 lo-fi indie rock track in E♭ major at ~85 BPM with a laid-back, jangly groove. Built on jazzy, slightly detuned guitar chords: verses use E♭maj7–Gm7–A♭maj7 progressions with dreamy chord voicings and chorus pivots around Cmin7 and F7, giving a subtly melancholic yet breezy feel. Guitars are chorus-soaked, clean-toned, and slightly warbly, creating a nostalgic, tape-warped atmosphere. Drums are soft, dry, and close-mic’d—simple kick-snare-hat groove with brushed textures. Bass is melodic and warm, often sliding between notes with loose timing. Vocals are in a light baritone range, around B2–G4, sung with a lazy, conversational tone in a West Coast North American accent. The voice is breathy, intimate, and subtly pitch-wavering, often doubling itself and panned wide for stereo depth. Delivery is relaxed, slightly behind the beat, with soft consonants and natural phrasing, sometimes slurring into notes. Production is analog-inspired: saturated, slightly hissy, and lo-fi, with mellow

Lyrics
Verse
This song is called Silent Notifications
It goes like this
I fell in love with a sociopath
And I told her all my secrets
I never got one back
And when she cheated
I was devastated
And I did the same thing back
And I guess that's when I learned that
Pre-Chorus
Nothing is sacred
I guess that's when I learned that
Chorus
And now my phone is on silent notifications
'Cause I can't face it
All the texts from her new friends
Who all said I was the crazy one
And now my phone is on silent notifications
'Cause I can't face it
All the texts from her new friends
Who all said I was the crazy one
Verse 2
But what they don't know is
I was once one of them
I mean
I knew I was her boyfriend
But I didn't know I was her only friend
And when they don't listen
It's different
Because they've already heard
All the rumors
All the whispers
That she told me word for word
I guess that's when I learned that
Chorus
And now my phone is on silent notifications
'Cause I can't face it
All the texts from her new friends
Who all said I was the crazy one
And now my phone is on silent notifications
'Cause I can't face it
All the texts from her new friends
Who all said I was the crazy one
Bridge
I saw the signs
And now I can read 'em all
I heard the sirens
But they were so beautiful
You know she was
But so was the bridge we burned
And I guess that's when I learned that
Chorus
And now my phone is on silent notifications
'Cause I can't face it
All the texts from her new friends
Who all said I was the crazy one
And now my phone is on silent notifications
'Cause I can't face it
All the texts from her new friends
Who all said I was the crazy one
