about

One of those songs you stumble upon a 30-second rough draft of in a folder of old voice memos to yourself and think... yep it's time to finish this!

Harmonizing with yourself is great but sometimes ya just need a second human singin' with ya, and what better second human than Brett Fromson to come in and lay down the ol' 2-part.

lyrics

Hard to be Mad – by Russell Wiener

Well I saw you last weekend at the party
And I held my tongue or you would have been sorry

But now to see you like that
Man it’s just sad
And it’s so hard to be mad at ya now

Well I try to be civil but the fact is
That you never apologize for how you’ve acted
But to see you like this
All in a mess
It’s so hard to be pissed at you now

And it’s hard to see the good side
When you’ve already made up your mind
And it’s hard to admit that you could change
But only if life turns unkind for

The people that are causing you the most stress
Yeah the toxic, the sick, and the self-obsessed

But every origin tale
Has shit that turns ya pale
So I don’t wanna rail on ya now

And it’s hard to see the good side
When you’ve already made up your mind
And it’s easy to think that you’ve changed
Well I guess you’ll find out when you try to rise above

So the next time that I see you at a party
I’ll walk up and say I already know you’re sorry
And before you take it bad
I’ll slap you on the back
And say man, I ain’t mad at ya now

Well you haven’t changed an ounce
You’re acting like your same old self
But it’s hard to be mad at ya now
Yes it’s hard to be mad at ya now
It’s so hard to be mad at ya now
