(Umm) Have you ever even seen a film I know I have (I know I have) And there’s a couple of things to keep in mind If you are watching (A couple of things) On occasion there will be plot points On occasion there’ll be art (oh my) On occasion there’ll be long pretentious Things to tell apart from real content (how) Cause in the best of times And worst of times That line is up to you (It’s up to who) Up to you What’s worth watching Once enrolled in filming school But everybody’s got their litmus test What’s worth watching What is best And it’s no different Even once you’re there (Once I’m there) Don’t enroll (I won’t enroll) Filming school I got my litmus test Back and it said you’re the best Back and it said I’m the best Cause we’re worth watching We’re enrolled in filming school We walked around that blank museum And cried our tears and held our hands And we were each others' best friends And we went down to town and said a million things are happening That are so smart and beautiful (worth watching) Yes you pass my litmus test Yes I swear that you’re the best (No you’re the best) No you’re the best No you’re worth watching You’re worth watching Here (Once I’m there) Don’t enroll (I won’t enroll) Filming school On occasion there will be plot points On occasion there’ll be art (oh my) On occasion there’ll be nothing left at all But that’s alright for Me and you and me and you and Me and you and me and you and Me and you and me and you and Me and you and me and you On occasion there will be plot points On occasion there’ll be art (oh my) On occasion there’ll be long pretentious Things to tell apart from real content (how) Cause in the best of times And worst of times That line is up to you (It’s up to who) Up to you What’s worth watching What’s worth stopping What’s just boring Don’t enroll (don’t enroll) Filming school What’s just boring Don’t enroll (don’t enroll) Filming school What’s just boring Don’t enroll (don’t enroll) Filming school What’s just boring Don’t enroll (don’t enroll) Filming school

about

Sidney Gish is a singer-songwriter currently based in New York. She produced her first two albums, Ed Buys Houses (2016) and No Dogs Allowed (2017) while attending college in Boston. Following the moderate success of No Dogs Allowed, she toured the album throughout the US and Europe as a solo live looping act. In 2022, she toured as a support act for TV Girl, Beach Bunny, and Cavetown. She has been working on new music, and will be sharing more of it soon.

Sidney Gish says of her contributions to the series, “I start lots of songs, but finish very few. Sometimes, I try to overcome this habit by skipping the ‘ideas’ phase, and improvising a song to completion within a few hours. Both ‘Filming School’ and ‘MFSOTSOTR’ were created this way. ‘Filming School’ was recorded in fall 2021 at my apartment in Brooklyn. The lyrics were freestyled while reflecting on film school, which I did not attend. In 2022, I added bass & synth to ‘Filming School,’ as well as piano, engineered by Lily Wen at Figure 8 Studios. ‘MFSOTSOTR’ was recorded in late summer 2019 at my old apartment on Mission Hill. The lyrics were freestyled while staring at a meme of a buff man wearing high-waisted jeans. No edits were ever made to ‘MFSOTSOTR.’ It has haunted my hard drive for three years.”
