Shayne Rosenke A very happy find on bandcamp. There is a comparison to Jewels 1st album on a few songs. Can't wait to hear what's to come. Favorite track: 4th Cup of Coffee.

My memories are seeking refuge against you Invading all my fantasies and wiping my mind clear Listening to every thought I thought of you You can go your own way now But forget me not Forget me not

Let’s start at the end Giving up you was more like playing pretend You said, “Goodbye, I’m not rubber, I won’t bend” 4th cup of coffee today and I’m writing the same thing on every page. Couldn’t find a clever way to say this Been listening to Joni and St. Marie Feeling so angry it wasn’t me who shook the scene in the 1970’s I’m existing in this modern scary world Every day I awake wonder why I’m still here Couldn’t find a clever way to say this I’m not who you think I am No I’m not who you think I am No no You’re all moving forward I’ve got my back against the pack Practice what you will but your god is not for me never was never could be 4th cup of coffee today and I’m writing the same thing on every page Couldn’t find a clever way to say this I’m not who you think I am No no I’m not who you think I am No no I’m not who you think I am

Hospital 03:11
Living with loss Living with all the words that were hard to say Now they’re stuck with me and you’re out of the way Living with loss All your friends are jumping on a train, headed somewhere far away You’re screaming from the platform ‘just take me, just take me take me, too’ Living without you Living without you is the hardest part of my day But it’s better knowing you’re far from the pain I’ve never been a believer, but it’s times like these I wish I was Stuck in the hospital bed yeah you’re stuck in the middle of worlds away Stuck in the hospital bed yeah you're stuck with the words that you couldn't have said Not ready to go but they’re telling you it's time to slip away now here come the meds Leave all this behind Are you ready to find what comes next? What comes next? Stuck in the hospital bed yeah you’re stuck in the middle of worlds away Stuck in the hospital bed yeah you're stuck with the words that you couldn't have said Not ready to go but they’re telling you it's time to slip away now here come the meds Leave all this behind Are you ready to find what comes next? What comes next? what comes next? Living with Loss Living with all the words that were hard to say Now they’re stuck with me, and you’re out of the way

Waves 04:04
It must be tiring to be always fighting waves Me I just let myself go on and then get carried away Time is escaping like the clouds rolling on by floating in and out of cities wave goodbye Let’s pause step back way back Let’s pause step back way back Oh oh oh Money’s money it’ll always be lost Burns in my pocket doesn't mean nothing to you should it mean anything to me? If you only would have asked me bout’ this feeling yesterday I’d say “nothings’ changed I’m still the same, but I’m getting carried away” Let’s pause step back way back Let’s pause step back way back Let’s pause step back way back Ohhhhhh… Let’s pause step back way back Let’s pause step back way back Let’s pause step back way back Ohhhhhh…

Run 03:42
I’d say that I have the blues, but that song is overused I’d say that time is flying by, but that’d be far from the truth I feel I’m stuck in slow motion I am yours all the time I’d say that I’m moving on, but my mind is always on your mind I’ve come to rescue you Pack your bags, don’t even think twice Now you’re the villain The roles have been reversed you’ve traded in your hat, you’re not coming back Listen here now my sister The time for tears has passed Listen here now my sister Lose the rules and loosen up the chains Your hands they feel so right, tied up like a vine we’re tangled up too tight The room is musty, I can hardly breathe Yeah you’ve stolen the air from me I’ve come to rescue you Pack your bags, don’t even think twice Now you’re the villain The roles have been reversed you’ve traded in your hat, you’re not coming back No. no no no no Run run run…. I’ve come to rescue you Pack your bags, don’t even think twice Now you’re the villain The roles have been reversed, I’ve come to rescue you Pack your bags, don’t even think twice Now you’re the villain The roles have been reversed, you’ve traded in your hat, you’re not coming back

Going back to the night before the procedure I was a coward and I waited till you were in the shower then I Packed up my boots and toque and walked out the front door Going back to the night before the procedure I restless scared I could feel my heart getting weaker And you held me so tight that I gave into the fight Gave into the fight Been Fuelling myself on coffee and blues and every good song reminds me of you I see you in the faces that follow around my brain’s so loud I can’t handle the sound Been running through problems all through the night I’m grinding my teeth till the morning light I’m feeling so selfish and screaming help I’m getting so tired of myself Counting down from 10 My eyes fall heavy I know that it’s the end After all before this mess were we ever really friends? Now I’m counting down the time till I’m feeling fine And I realize that you were never really mine You were never really mine Been fuelling myself on coffee and blues and every good song reminds me of you I see you in the faces that follow around my brain’s so loud I can’t handle the sound Running through problems all through the night I’m Grinding my teeth till the morning light I’m feeling so selfish and screaming help I’m getting so tired of myself Going back to the night before the procedure

You’re the dime in the middle of the road I find when I’m walking home alone Nothing shines like you do You’re so far from the truth The time in between the memories Is further and further in between When every time that you make a move You’re killing something beneath your shoe Nothing hurts like you do You’re so far removed The time in between the memories Is further and further in between When I listen to you I forget to breathe My chest falls heavy and I believe Nothing sounds like you do You’re so far from the truth The time in between the memories Is further and further in between The time in between Is further and further in between Carefully rewinding my mind to all the moments you have left behind No one loves like you do You’re so far from the truth The time in between the memories Is further and further in between The time in between Is further and further in between

Feels like bad timing it’s hard to say My flowers are blooming and it hasn’t reached May The west winds are chilly but it’s here I’ll be Hiding in the suburbs just drinking tea hiding in the suburbs just drinking tea It’s the start of summer the sun warms my skin My legs they are rubber running from him I emerged from the winter all full of hope I’m here in the North I call it my home I’m here in the North I call it my home I don’t pray for you I pray for the bees Fertilizing lawns and cutting down trees You dig into her core till her blood runs dry I’m on stolen land I can’t see the light I’m on stolen land I can’t see the light Never liked the birds honestly they scare me But I like the songs they sing it reminds me of spring Hold on to that feeling you just can’t shake Smells like the rain it feels like mistakes Smells like the rain it feels like mistakes I’m Harvesting solidarity Away from the herds I’m learning to be Comfy on my own cause it’s you I don’t need It’s hard for me to tell you but it’s you that can leave It’s hard for me to tell you but it’s you that can leave Feels like bad timing it’s hard to say My flowers are blooming and it hasn’t reached May West winds are chilly but it’s here I’ll be Hiding in the suburbs just drinking tea I’m hiding in the suburbs just drinking tea

I can’t be here my time has expired To love alone or to love a liar I look at you and no longer recognize the eyes of loyalty you’ve now retired When my hair falls to your shoulder My palms to your chest your chest The energy formed between you and I Between you and I Let this love be our creation Yeah no more obligations I can’t be here my time has expired To love alone to love alone maybe I am liar I look at you and no longer recognize The eyes of loyalty you’ve now retired They’re looking down they’re floating away As have your morals once displayed So I’ll move on I’ll move on I’ll move on I’ll move on… You can’t be here yeah your time has expired To love alone to love alone baby I am the liar I look at you and no longer recognize The eyes of loyalty you’ve now retired They’re looking down floating away As have your morals once displayed So I’ll move on I’ll move on I’ll move on I’ll move on On to who?

I lost my Kootenay Love My soul jumped off that train into the future Never to return again My mind will always be on Kootenay time Always running late always running far behind Always running away But I’m back to the start My edges are sharp You can bet on me you can bet on me Back to the start my edges are sharp Can I bet on you? Can I bet on you? I belong in the mountains Leave me deep within the peaks As I lay upon hot rocks there I ponder all is lost There I ponder all is lost But I’m back to the start My edges are sharp You can bet on me you can bet on me Back to the start my edges are sharp Can I bet on you? Can I bet on you? I lost my Kootenay Love

about

"I'm Not Who You Think I Am" is a reinvention of Genevieve Jaide, and an attempt to capture the compiling emotions of a young person navigating their way through life using different genres and styles. It is full of old and new songs written during and before the world shut down. Each song is different from one another in terms of a theme, yet, if you listen closely, you may find a familiar string that runs through all the stories like your favourite sweater.
The title "I'm Not Who You Think I Am" comes from the lyrics of the second track on the album, "4th Cup of Coffee". Picture a Sunday morning after a long night of mistakes. You are sitting on the floor trying to ground yourself and not let the anxiety of the night before slip into your thoughts. You inevitably comb through every moment of last night and realize that the things you were trying to say may have not come across. You worry that the person who thinks they know you doesn’t really know you at all. How do we ever really know someone? During your 4th cup of coffee, the jitters have sunk in. You have now thoroughly analyzed every interaction from the previous night, week, year, and it’s a fact: you’re not who they think you are. That’s okay, neither am I. I hope this album helps you through your wandering moments like it has helped me through mine.
