I Started a Joke

from Rediscovered by Roan Yellowthorn

	/

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Indie-pop duo Roan Yellowthorn released their covers project, Rediscovered, on February 21st, 2020, featuring a wide variety of bespoke reimaginings of classics ranging from Elton John and Alanis Morrissette, to The Platters and Hank Williams. Roan Yellowthorn (Jackie McLean and Shawn Strack) fill Rediscovered with rich instrumentation and haunting harmonies, reflecting their evolution following the release of their first self-produced album (Indigo) in 2018, and their time playing scores of dates nationally, including Adam Duritz’s Underwater Sunshine Festival and an official SXSW showcase. Rediscovered dives into the past, yet serves as the perfect bridge to Roan Yellowthorn’s future, which includes the release of a full studio album with producer John Agnello (Alvvays, Dinosaur Jr., Twin Peaks).

lyrics

I started a joke which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see that the joke was on me oh

I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said

'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh that the joke was on me
Oh that the joke was on me
Ohh
