I’m sitting here in the only coffee shop I could find in LA that there is not another soul except the barista here. There is jazz playing and the coffee tastes like winter 2007 Pennsylvania with the fingerless gloves and death cab for cutie bumping in the ford focus. There is a church service next door and everyone just broke out in a heap of laughter. I hope they are laughing at forever man. Jesus is sorta like a forever man. He never goes anywhere. you can always count on him.
Today I released a new song yes its called “Forever Man”
My friend Naomi Moser made this very trippy vid 4 you.
If you are going through a breakup or know someone that is - this is a great song to send them.
This song is questioning the state of forever- forever in a person in a relationship, in a destiny. Its not deciding anything but more inquiring and reflecting on the concept of forever- telling a few stories. The thought of forever often takes us out of the present moment and into a far off non existent state leaving out the ever changing life that is awake before our very eyes. Its just sort of highlighting that idea. the idea of forever. Like is there room for change? what if in 20 years I fall out of love?
There is a cultural identity that exists with this forever state and it is rewarded- the ring, the wife, the job, the house- the 30 years then the retirement- like thats the only way.. I often make decisions without the feeling of knowing it is temporary and I can leave that state but with the state of this is forever this is all I’m ever going to have and it better be good and it better be perfect! And I BAIL! Its so tense and gives me a lot of anxiety. I’ve had commitment issues for a long time and they show up in weird ways but a lot of them come back down to the forever concept. — “who invented forever man? they scared a good man, scared an honest man, a present man” “Spooked a lady at check-in she was just walkin in the direction of a lover man”— she was lookin at this guy and she really liked him but she got spooked with the thought of -is he perfect is he everything is he the right one is he my forever man? and couldn’t enjoy the present because she was too wrapped up in the future. she was walking toward a lover man but couldn’t stay.
“What kinda forever is she? and what kind forever makes you miss me?” “cmon theres only one kinda forever we die alone or together I know its a lot of pressure but can you tell me now or never?”
Who invented forever man was it the church? idk but lmk what you think.
The song is only listenable on youtube right now. I’m currently trying to bring long form back into my life. So I only put the whole video up on youtube instead of instagram. It will be streaming soon but for now this is where you can find Forever.
The Tucson version of the band -Lullaby, Harry, Budd, Slimn, Diesel, Penny + Sly recorded this tune at Oracle Recording Studio with Austin Owen in February 2024. There is more songs to come in this series. Plus lots of clothes that goes with the songs!
I’ll try and keep this newsletter updated but also IG is the best way to keep in the know of Dolly Creamer where-abouts and releases. I hope you enjoy the music and your life. And don’t think too much about forever.
Happy full moon <3
