Cosmo Jarvis

Released: January 23, 2011

[Verse]
This crash ripped us to pieces
But the pieces put together is the love that I think we’ve built
And I killed so many people
But revenge is so much better than another day feeling guilt
I’ve loved only one woman
Because everytime I see her she’s as new as when she was a stranger
And I’ll shake my faith so freely
Got a canvas without edges
I’m free destiny painter

[Chorus]
I don’t miss my family
And I don’t miss watching the news
If one day I ever leave
The only thing I’ll ever need is my memory
Of living like an animal with you

[Verse]
Well I’ve been a real hero
But I never asked to be a leader, I just did the right thing twice
And I drank sweat from a killer
And it tasted like she wanted me to drink it till the night we die
And a found real fiction truely
And a family I love more anyone I had at home
And I know what faith I am now
Between her breats she trusted me enough to let me lick her rib bones

[Chorus]
I don’t miss my family
And I don’t miss watching the news
If one day I ever leave
The only thing I’ll ever need is my memory
Of living like an animal with you

I don’t miss my family
And I don’t miss watching the news
If one day I ever leave
The only thing I’ll ever need is my memory
Of living like an animal with you

Critic, journalist, sometime musician, onetime actor, and full-time Midwesterner Mark Deming provides a discographic-based biography for Cosmo Jarvis:

“Singer, songwriter, and filmmaker Cosmo Jarvis has earned a devoted following for his witty, often satiric tunes about the foibles of relationships and contemporary life, often rooted in personal experience, as well as his own self-produced videos and short subjects that have given his work a global online audience. Harrison Cosmo Krikoryan Jarvis was born on September 1, 1989 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Jarvis' family relocated to the United Kingdom when he was young, and he grew up in Devon in Southwest England. Jarvis began writing songs when he was only 12 years old, around the same time he began making short films using a VHS video camera. While Jarvis' early videos were little more than documentation of pranks played with his friends, with time he began constructing more complex narratives, and similarly his songs began to evolve, ranging from folk-inspired acoustic guitar pieces and elaborate pop tunes to tongue-in-cheek hip-hop tracks.

At the age of 16, Jarvis quit school to focus on his creative work, and in 2009 he wrote and produced his debut album, an 18-song set called Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch, which was released by the British indie label Wall of Sound. The album combined Jarvis' observational tunes with a cycle of songs reflecting the emotional turmoil of his parents' stormy relationship. Humasyouhitch/Sonofabitch received enthusiastic notices from the British music press, but it didn’t sell especially well, and Jarvis teamed with 25th Frame for his second release, Is the World Strange or Am I Strange? A track from the album, “Gay Pirates,” became an Internet sensation after Jarvis' low-budget video for the song was endorsed in a Twitter post by actor and author Stephen Fry, and subsequent airplay helped make the second album a commercial success. While continuing to tour, write songs, and record music, Jarvis has also been writing and directing a feature film, provisionally titled The Naughty Room. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi"
