I think I might be stalling Drop one song then I wonder when the record label calling But now I’m going all in With this drum pocket so deep you better watch out not to fall in I'm just a freshman walking tryna get this campus talking I swear to god, I used to think I ruled it all Whatever place it takes me, I'll be alright I trust it knows the way And if I’m hesitating, staying in at night It's a sixty-thousand dollar waste of time and so I guess this is my life now Will this be my home? A younger me thought by now we’d be grown I guess this is my life now At least it's now my own And what did young me know? I think I'm on the right track No way to tell, but I'm feeling like there won't be any way back Know I'm gonna say that It was worth it in the end, even though I got these fucking loans to pay back Stand out when no one knows you Flex a bit like you're supposed to I swear to god, I think I'm heading for it all Whatever place it takes me, I'll be alright I trust it knows the way And if I’m hesitating, staying in at night It's a sixty-thousand dollar waste of time and so I guess this is my life now Will this be my home? A younger me thought by now we’d be grown I guess this is my life now At least it's now my own And what did young me know? I miss my dog and having bathrooms that have doors And showers here are way to fucking cold And if I stay inside all day I might as well have done that back at home and so I guess this is my life now Will this be my home? A younger me thought by now we’d be grown I guess this is my life now At least it's now my own And what did young me know?

It isn’t school when friends aren’t there I look outside and all the streets are bare But I'll get by on my own While I’m stuck at home This lonely quarantine It isn’t fun that's been going around The city’s quiet and I miss the sound But I'll hear you through the phone While we’re stuck at home This lonely quarantine I wish that I had more to say There isn’t much that's new I realize that by myself, there isn’t much to do Oh how I long for things to be like how they were before I can’t wait for when I’m out this house and I I’m not lonely anymore It isn’t school when friends aren’t there I look outside and all the streets are bare But I'll get by on my own While I’m stuck at home This lonely quarantine At least we’re just a call away, but it's not the same sometimes At least it's spring, the sun is out, but I’m not where it shines I took it all for granted, oh I miss my old routine I miss going out, I miss everyone It’s a lonely quarantine It’s a lonely Oh, so lonely Quarantine

about

The first single from Roan Martin’s new release, "I Guess This Is My Life Now" is a heavy-hitting pop record driven by explosive drums, funky basslines, and a powerful vocal performance. Roan’s lyrics describe his transition into college life, far from his home in Brooklyn. Although he admits “[missing his] dog and having bathrooms that have doors," Roan embraces the change with excitement and celebration. That is until COVID-19 sends him right back home. Roan's return to the city is depicted in "wait,", a mind-bending, 3-dimensional sound collage that sets the scene for the final track: "Nevermind, We're Quarantined." Accompanied by a lush orchestral arrangement, Roan sings in a crooning baritone register, similar to the likes of Chet Baker and Frank Sinatra. As the song unfolds, what began as a slow, jazzy ballad spirals towards a rhapsodic climax, where powerful horns and gritty guitars expose his true pining for the past. Including his debut single "In Time," Roan's discography narrates the unfamiliar experience of being a college student in 2020.
