In a nut shell, "Underachiever" is a song about finding humor in our own shortcomings and persevering through them. It was Song 3 of my Patreon song-a-month club, right at the beginning! Patrons can listen to the early version and learn more about the song's creation on that post: Here!

I am honored to have had the opportunity to collaborate with my father-in-law, Marcos Estébez, on saxophone for this track, and to feature a phenomenal trumpet solo by Matteo Spolveri. 

I am grateful for all of your support. Thank you so much for listening and sharing!! Please enjoy the lyric video

All the best!

Lyrics:

Maybe I was born tired As lazy as Sunday

My clothes are uninspired they're all just different shades of grey

I bought everything I own from late night infomercials

I cut so many corners I keep on going in circles

I've been looking at the top

Stalled at the first stop

Floating like a fly in my Earl Grey

must have been a mix up

Handing out the good luck

nothing really to ever goes my way

I just keep underachieving

self-deceiving

waiting for a free ride

Can't the world let someone else win

slow down and sleep in

Now that no one's going outside

Feels like someone's dealing from the bottom of the deck

I've nothing in my pockets I lost the little sense I had left

Nothing's ever fair when it comes to talent or success

So I'll just reuse the next few lines, save myself a little stress

Pre-chorus

Chorus

There's no room for all to be the best

Maybe there's a reason but I couldn’t care less

Chorus
