  • I give you more details than you ever thought imaginable about a song I miss playing very much. Here's the story behind the song: How to Break Up in the City from the Almost Half Serious album which came out in 2011.
    I know what I said is hurting just a little bit
    Gotta smile on your face cause you're used to it
    Out with the girls for a night on the town
    Order another round and drink the night down
    Cross the city I'm trying to remember exactly what I said
    So that I can make it better
    You're the prettiest girl I know
    It's been so long since I told you so, so
    [Hook]
    And You, make me not wanna stop love
    ...and you, make me not wanna stop love
    So I set out on a mission to find you
    Posing like the loser who's dancing behind you
    You really did it this time
    Fogging up your glasses when your hips grind
    You can't be mad at me forever
    Of course I knew she would be If I would let her
    You look delicious and I wanna take a bite
    I refuse to end tonight in a really stupid fight
    [Hook]
    [Bridge x2]
    This is it (this is it)
    The last time ( last time)
    The end of (end of)
    This Slow ride
    The party's over (party's over)
    This is last call (last call)
    Come and get your shit before I burn it all

    One of the things that's cool about this whole internet / youtube deal is that you don't have to just be one thing. You don't have to just be funny Mike, or advice column Mike, or takin' pictures Mike, or singer/songwriter Mike. You can do all of that stuff. There's no execs in a board room sending you notes about the Mike you need to be. And I like seeing all of that stuff because each of those sides gives dimension to each other side. It's almost like you're a whole person or something. You almost never get that on the TV.
    So whatever you got that you want to put out there, send it.

      Dude when I was at the end of my music career there were producers legit saying like “you have to pick one or the other or you’ll never be anything”

    I'd not heard the song before, but I loved this video because it felt like a mini-doc by Mike about his creative process, which I will always find very interesting. Also Mike's hair made this feel like a time capsule.

    I still go back and listen to your old songs, and this one has always been one of my favorites. The writing had a different feel, and it's cool to learn that it was probably because it was the first fictional one. Loved watching this, now I'm gonna go listen to all my old faves

    I loved seeing clips from your old videos all together in the beginning. It's so interesting to hear artists talk about the making of a song and then listening to it. I also think I need to make a new playlist called "White guy acoustic flip flop songs".

    I love your song called “It took me a long time to figure out how to be with a hot person.” Haha but real talk It’s fun to hear about all this from a perspective that I’ve legit never heard this song before (sorry lol). But it made listening to it a super fun time after hearing your now perspective of bein 23 & tryna figure out life. ‘Preciate you.

    Love the song. I really like hearing what’s behind it because it helps me love it better. For sure interested in more of this. Didn’t know the term for it, but I love a building chorus. I love songs that tell a story like that.

    This is a great song, and as someone who's familiar with your comedy but not your music, I really enjoyed hearing the backstory and all the details beforehand! Also helps that I don't have the best ear for music, so hearing details of the process is helpful for fully appreciating the song. Love it, thanks Mike!

    I was writing a song when you posted this, and I'd been staring at the same verse for like 30 minutes, watched this, and then went and finished the verse. So I'm gonna need permission to use your lyrics that I stole for my song.
    jk, it did help me finish something I was stuck on, though. So this random thing you decided to do about a thing you did impacted someone and that's always rad.
    I secretly hope you get the music itch again once you've reached whatever you consider the apex of your comedy career to be.

      ​@@mikefalzone I know the song means a lot to me so I would absolutely love to hear about what it means to you. I think the lyrics are special, and that everybody has felt similarly at some point of their lives (especially when you're young and rebellious and think it's all about you and your partner). It's also my favorite vocal performance of yours. You go crazy on the chorus especially when you sing "town" after the bridge. I only wish it came out during this era of signed merch because it would go up on my walls in an instant
