  • Zine culture meets the pre-streaming era CD sleeve! Growing up in the 90s and early 00s, I remember what it was like to buy a CD and listen to the album front-to-back while reading the liner notes in the CD sleeve. I decided to combine my love for CD booklets with my fascination with zine-making to create a tangible experience to accompany the digital album IKOV.

    I designed the 20-page 5.5 x 8.5 IKOV lyrics zine containing lyrics, images, and short reflective writing for every song on the album.

    I hope you'll do like I used to do and listen to IKOV while reading the zine.

Cuartoscuro 03:53
lyrics
One last midnight Blend in the low light Dim my Merlot life The time is right Tonight tonight’s right I see you in my dreams I tell you everything It keeps on happening Over and over You brought all your friends out Got you feeling like the one now Like the feeling that you’re on now The vibes are on loud You smile at the crowd but no photo op could leave you on top The tears are nonstop You opened the box You walked in the spot You talked the big talk and now I see you in my dreams I tell you everything It keeps on happening Over and over I don’t want to spiral I don’t want to smile Smiles turn to frowns Now I’m in denial I don’t want to dial your number Get your voicemail with a face full of blunder Know we had a choice and we left it asunder On the dance floor with a step full of wonder I don’t want sweet dreams I don’t want to cry Cries turn to laughter Later I’m a sweet thing I don’t want the evening to end Get up the nerve til I see you again Float on a swerve just a sheet in the wind Pouring new wine in the same old skin I see you in my dreams I tell you everything It keeps on happening Over and over You can cry now And you smile now And you can have it all Tonight Tonight My merlot life Over and over

Pin Drop 02:44
lyrics
Won’t you come to my place? You like how the wine tastes You see look on my face And smile and laugh And you say you like all the books on my bookcase And I say Drop your location You know I’m waiting I’m on my way then I’m on my way I will take your pain Try to make it mine for as long as I can Just give it time don’t cover up the stain Will you take my name? Take me as I am? Me and all my shame? I got to be upfront with you That winter took it out of me But here I am in front of you So why don’t you Drop your location You know I’m waiting I’m on my way then I’m on my way Leave it all behind

Vesuvio 03:00
lyrics
I put them all on hold I wrote your name in bold Then I hung up the phone Then I hit the studio Poems at Vesuvio’s My Vesuvio I dreamt a loathsome dream It sunk to the bottom of me The world started to end But you weren’t here with me So tonight in the hours I’ll be dreaming of home There’s a killer outside In a city full of cinder It’s a pity to be tender on a night like this We get carried away by a day so calloused In the waking hours We live inside a dream In the witching hours We love inside a shadow I can feel me slipping away Everyone that I used to be

Blue Dreams (ft. Thomas Jay) 02:39
lyrics
I was getting to you Through all the anybodies I was getting to you You were growing on me I didn’t owe anybody anything I was getting to you Glue Stuck together finally Broken pieces Climbing trees Foraging Poison ivy on my eyelids Round and round my timepiece I thank God that I found you I know this feeling’s true Because when I’m not with you I’m feeling like your blue jeans, baby Even on our off days When we think we lost it, look how far we’ve come now, baby I spilled wine on my blue jeans With my lips on your blue dream I just want you to sing I just want you to sing He went to prom with her She a Soprano. He a tenor. She left a tip for the bartender She left the bar tender Caught a cab Went home sad She wrote a long letter Sitting in her arm chair Fainting spells She had her mom’s hair But she dyed it blonde And he gave her long stare She replied with an "au contraire, mon ami, don’t you know it’s me?" Shook his head Hit him back wit a "c’est la vie" She stayed home watching Amelie There he laid in the shade of her favorite palm tree I was getting to you Through all the anybodies I was getting to you You were growing on me I didn’t owe anybody anything I was getting to you Glue Stuck together finally I know this feeling’s true Because when I’m not with you I’m feeling like your blue jeans, baby Even on our off days When we think we lost it, look how far we’ve come now, baby I spilled wine on my blue jeans With my lips on your blue dream I just want you to sing I just want you to sing I’m torn ( I was getting to you) I’m ripped (I was getting to you) I’m worn (I was getting to you) I’m faded I was getting to you

Maybe I Was Wrong 03:45
lyrics
You turned your back on me Thought you had everything to offer me I stayed the same I played your— I have nothing left to say Where you go missing in a cliché You’re lost in a cliché People can change I still believe that Maybe I’m naïve maybe I need that Maybe I was wrong So wrong So long With you I just don’t belong I’m so alone With you I was just trying to keep it together Everybody knows that we ain’t together When I saw you out front All of it crept in at once Giving my all to a lost cause Looking for the end of this long pause I keep giving in to see you again I kept giving in when I shouldn’t have been I can see it ending now I can see it ending now And I could’ve made it right some now But I think I see it ending now Watching you go You know I couldn’t stomach it Wishing I were Superman Bullets bouncin off of me I’d jump in front of it Oncoming traffic Planes that are plummeting Buildings collapse on you I’d fall up under it I was such a fan of you Standing on that precipice Extend my hand to you But you couldn’t handle what I am So what I am to you now Is a scramble of memories littering your Instagram

& It Feels Like 03:26
lyrics
Tell me I’m your favorite still I want to be your favorite still We used to dance away the days Now I don’t know When I close my eyes Will you still be by my side? We need a little time to grow We used to listen to the radio We used live in happy homes Now your just a number on my phone I was too late And the party was over And to think I had a drink in my hand Now I’m going home sober And I’m dancing alone tonight It’s okay to be alone tonight Am I bad for you Am I just too bad for you? Am I? Why you got an attitude? Young living with an attitude I’m sick for the limelight But I’m ill from these long nights I'm sick for the limelight though But I'm still ill I was too late And the party was over And to think I had a drink in my hand Now I’m going home sober And I’m dancing alone tonight It’s okay to be alone tonight And it feels like And it feels like And it feels like Feel-good World It’s such a feel-good world I’m tryna heal in this world But I’m too ill, world

IKOV 02:59
lyrics
I am glowing phosphorescent - Song for Zula You on the medulla All I wanna know Always been a screw up But I just see your afterglow Wonder maybe after show Hit the road and elope Taste your flesh, cantaloupe I can’t stand to be alone You can’t stand to be alone Let’s make happy home One thing you need to know about me Is that I need to know that you can’t go a day without me I like way you say my name You know Adam, you know Faim I just want to say your name the same way your mother says it Nothing more nothing less (Like satisfaction) And suddenly one day I turned the IK Into an OV Between the LE Feelin like I got a glock in my rari And my girl remind me of Rory Every time we show up to the party It’s something like Topanga and Cory Sweeter than an Almond Roca Toca, toca She a work of art belong in MOCA or maybe MoMA Sippin' on some boba Maybe she could be my baby momma Pretty baby I can be your Palagliacci I’ll entertain you I can be your Tamogatchi Rub your back everyday Keep the Rose Quartz in the place that we stay (Like satisfaction) And suddenly one day I turned the IK Into an OV Between the LE
