about

This second release from Barouh McGinty was actually the first track recorded. NYC Junkie was completely improvised, from start to finish with no overdubs, at Joe McGinty's Carousel Recording Studio in Brooklyn.

lyrics

Failure!
I´m in love with failure
in love with never coming through
Failure!
NYC taught me about failure!
...and filled me with lies and rules,
unlimited cards, and misbehavior.

Failure!
I´m in love... love.. love…
Oh, failure!
I´m in love
I´m in love with failure...
failure... failure...failure...

Me enamoré del fracaso de esta ciudad!
Me enamoré de pagar
por theater, and music...
and MetroCards...
and now…I´m addicted!
Now I´m an NYC junkie
Now, I´m a Lower East Side junkie.
Now, I´m an orchard street junkie
Ohhhh!

Failure!
I´m in love...in love with failure
I´m in love I'm in love with failure
Failure!
You taught me…
taught me...real shit!
You taught me…
You taught me…
You...
You´re my true love!
You´re my real love!
You´re the love of my life!

Failure!
Failure!
You taught me about failure
You taught me
You taught me...
How to spend money on a MetroCard.
so you can steal it from me!
so you can steal anything from me!
Failure!
I´m in love,
I´m in love,
I´m in love with failure.
I´m in love!
I´m in love!

Failure!
Failure!
I´m in love!
I´m in love with failure!
I´m in love!
I´m in love!
I´m an NYC Junkie!
I´m an Orchard St Junkie!
I´m a Lower East Side Junkie!

Failure!
Failure…
I´m in love,
I´m in love with failure.
Failure is the love of my life!
yeah!..yeah!...is the love of life!!
Failure! you choked me in failure.

You choked me!
You choked me in failure!
Yeah, you pissed me in failure.
You bed-bugged my life.
Yeah!

NYC bed-bugged my life…Yeah!
You choked me in failure!
Failuuuure!
Failuuuure!
You choked me in failure!
You choked me in failure!

NYC taught me about failure.
Taught me how to fail to succeed.
To be a successful... successful failure!
NYC choke me in failure…
In failure...
In failure…
Choke me in failure.
Choke me in failure.
You´re the love of my life!
Failure...

about

Barouh McGinty New York, New York

Paula and I met at Sid Gold’s while she was studying in NYC. Whenever she would sing, songs would go off on unexpected tangents and improvisations. It was always fun and exciting when she would approach the mic. Because of this connection we seemed to have, I invited her to my studio to spontaneously create some music. These tracks are the result of those improvisations. ... more
