Leif Lefty This album is like if you combined the most brutally direct and honest country ballads with the musical Cats. Bromf is a genius and his music and lyrics will somehow always make you laugh and smile even when it deep dives into soul-crushingly heavy introspection and social anxieties. He plays the keyboard and emotes vocally with a bombastic, soulful energy unlike anyone you've ever seen. Bromf's music makes the world feel 10 shades more exciting and freewheeling. Favorite track: Round-A-Bout Mr. Toad's House.

schuyler Beautifully topsy-turvy pop music. The songs balance sharp humor and relatable storytelling with a deep sense of social awkwardness, but don't get too lost in the lyricism or you'll miss the masterful piano performance and song composition.

My talking to myself is getting worse I used to be able to control the curse Now even in a situation where everything I say matters in the eyes of another I say things that’d alarm just about anyone I was talking to my friend the other day I was pretty stoned and I didn’t have anything to say But I sure have things to say the rest of the time when I’m by myself And every night I make a toast to my good health Cuz there always is somebody on the train Who turns their head around when I say the things I say My talking to myself is getting worse I should worry about things I should actually worry about first And there’s lots of other people with old flames breakups on their mind So I guess I’m lucky I’ve never gotten with anyone I went down to a show the other day All my friends were there but I didn’t have anything to say But I sure have things to say the rest of the time when I’m by myself And every night I make a toast to my good health And I’d like to pay somebody for their time Cause it helps to have a guide through the mazes of your mind But I’d rather spend that money on a night on the town And wake up with more shit to remember My talking to myself is getting worse My talking to myself is getting worse My talking to myself is getting worse My talking to myself

Hell World 02:56
World number one is the world of suits and ties Clarity escapes me but jealousy inspires And world number two is the world that comes at night Let my age just slip away, must be a year I’ve spent in bars Hell world The world I summon with fire And break my day in half Sometimes at two, sometimes at four Count to six and that’s a whole lot more than usual World number one is the world where parties think Counting all your money when you’re going out to drink And world number two is the one I chose from fear Drawn to that light from a very young age, in bars I must’ve spent a year Hell world The world I summon with fire And break my day in half Sometimes at two, sometimes at four That guy I met said that’s a whole lot more than usual Two worlds Two worlds Hell world I chose my fortune in hell world Instead of up in the sky Sometimes a two, sometimes a four Just pretend that I’m a whole lot more than usual Two worlds Two worlds A world of light and hell world

Moondog 01:45
Livin’ moon doggy dog with my tail in the air No cares Livin’ moon doggy dog with the wind in my hair Who cares I’m free as a bird But don’t say a word About the real things I’ll get to them when I can And the things that make me a man Are right here on my chest Livin’ moon doggy dog with my tail in the air No cares Livin’ moon doggy dog with the wind in my hair No cares There’s nothing to fear Except a couple of years In the rearview I’ll get to them when I can That’s been my mantra Every day since I was born Catching up I'm catching up
4.
Meme World 02:31
Meme world where everything is insincere Meme world don’t bring that shit around here Meme world where the cake is cut with shit Meme world where the goal of the game’s to beat everything I’m trying to have a conversation And I feel enthusiastic But you’re not supposed to feel anything around here Meme world where everything is insincere Meme world don’t bring that shit around here Where do I fall on your hierarchy of things of which you approve If you didn’t know me personally you’d probably think that I was a fool I’m trying to have a conversation And I feel enthusiastic But you’re not supposed to feel anything around here Cause the man with the feelings kinda makes you laugh In the morning those feelings kinda make you laugh Meme world Meme world Meme world Meme world I’m trying to watch a movie And I’m really enjoying the movie But you’re not supposed to enjoy anything around here Cause the man with the feelings kinda makes you laugh In the morning those feelings kinda make you laugh

Haven’t brushed my hair in a while I don’t even look in the mirror that much The little things add up to an unattractive man Haven’t washed this coat in a while I don’t think about what I wear too much The little things add up to an unattractive man I had a friend that I was trying to make something happen with So I took them out to a show And then they left to go to another show To try and get with the singer of this other band I wondered what do I have on another man And then I realized the little things add up to an unattractive man A man who’s always trying but can never understand That the little things add up to an unattractive man

Old Man 02:21
You got your crew together and you’re going to a bar I’d really love to join you but it’s just a little too far To go out in this weather and spend money on a beer I’d really love to join you but maybe not this time of year I’m 25 but I can feel the old man start to set in I can feel the old man start to set in You got your crew together and you got a lot of friends The bar clock on the wall is ticking closer to the end By the time I ate and showered it’d be like two o’clock And there wouldn’t be much purpose in getting in a Lyft I’m 25 but I can feel the old man start to set in I can feel the old man start to set in In the excuses I make to not go out Process for going out is slow I drink and hope I’m done by the time it’s time to go And then what happens? I just end up staying in I’m 25 but I can feel the old man start to set in I can feel the old man start to set in

Stooge 02:25
“Wanted: Desperate Bastard,” I was the first in line Howling like a dog for the scraps they threw me in line Stooge on Christmas dancing around like a fool Trying to catch the money that gets stuck to me with glue I had a golden moment but it burned out into ash Now I kiss the ass of children with a business plan and cash Stooge on Christmas dancing around like a fool Trying to catch the money that gets stuck to me with glue But what else could I really want? “Wanted: Dancing Monkey,” I was the first in line I simpered like a broken man til they told me everything’s fine Stooge on Christmas dancing around like a fool Trying to catch the money that gets stuck to me with glue But what else could I really want?

Success 01:35
John come on, can’t you see the hurt in my eyes You’re the reason rent’s going up but I’m still looking in your eyes Stones on the street and shit on my shoes, what a mess Rich bastard jetting round the world, success John come on, you don’t need to mince words I can picture the place you live, you don’t need to say it’s pretty nice I’m an ant on your window man, what a mess Rich bastard jetting round the world, success I can be a work of art Like the music in the Uber car Or the Koons that’s still in the mail John come on, can’t you see the look in my eyes Cooking up a brand new scheme at the party, I can see the signs in your eyes I’m an ant from your window man, what a mess Rich bastard jetting round the world, success Rich bastard, success, yeah success

In a country house touched by tragedy 
Lives a small faction of the family Playing in my cousin’s band was Ross And I swear the fire started there With Ross’s red hair He’s a cannabis mogul now He’ll bring riches to any family And they’ll probably have a bruiser baby I wanna buy a time machine Is that your orange hair or did it fall off the weed? Playing in my cousin’s band was Ross And I swear the fire started there With Ross’s red hair He’s a cannabis mogul now

He's There 02:00
You don’t know how lucky you are Ryan’s your roommate And you take the man for granted You don’t even care he’s there It’s an access I would kill for He’s there And even in the van All you can think of is driving But it’s 8 hours with nothing to talk about Sounds kinda like a date When you drive down 5 on your west coast He’s there And you don’t even realize he’s cute You don’t know how lucky you are I can’t take anyone for granted I’m just happy when anyone’s there And you’ll never be his lover But he’s there And you don’t even realize he’s cute He’s there He’s there He’s there He’s there
11.
Maybe it’s the February wind coming in or maybe it’s just ourselves Everybody showed up feeling kinda strange but we gave comfort to ourselves But we gave comfort to ourselves Friends That’s what they’re for For the long cold nights of the soul But alas, they don’t ever wanna be around Maybe it’s the February wind coming in or maybe it’s just myself Everybody seems to got something to fix so I gave comfort to myself Yeah I gave comfort to myself Friends That’s what they’re for For the long cold nights of the soul But alas, they don’t ever wanna be around And it seems they don’t ever wanna be around Around me Around me They don’t ever wanna be around They don’t ever wanna be around

Played for no one, I wonder where everyone went Slipping in and out of town, I relied on my friends for the crowd that I’d get And those fools, I’m sure they’re content Going after me at the show going “we’re so much better than the guy who just went” Buried by time and dust in a transient teenage town I can see leaves start to fall from the trees but there’s no one sticking around Played for nothing, I’ll take anything I can get For me it’s more about after the show and the things I’ve done and the people I’ve met Buried by time and dust in a transient teenage town I can see leaves start to fall from the trees but there’s no one sticking around Buried by time and dust, my time in this place is done It’ll grow without me now til the great work of God is done Played for no one Played for no one Buried by time and dust in a transient teenage town I can see leaves start to fall from the trees but there’s no one sticking around Buried by time and dust, my time in this place is done It’ll grow without me now til the great work of God is done

Right Now 01:28
I’m not cleaning up carnage right now I’ll wake up in the morning and realize it wasn’t so bad I’m not gonna worry about it right now Something no one remembers but I still feel so bad I’m not cleaning up garbage right now I’ll do it in the morning and then I won’t feel so bad I’m not gonna worry about it right now I don’t think they remember but I still feel so bad Right now Right now Even now
