Crush Season

For context, Spoilerin the opera world, a singer’s season is auditioned for months in advanced, and then you tend to hear back from all of them around spring. This is particularly true for summer young artist and training programs, which can be highly competitive. The letters saying you didn’t land a spot in the company are ‘affectionately’ called PFO’s, or Please Fuck Off’s, by the singing community. This sort of silly turn of phrase meme helps to soften the blow of not getting a single paying gig, or any scholarships for educational performances, and having to pay out the nose for someone to tell you for a month straight that your regular teacher isn’t worth shit and you should change everything about how you sing because they said so. It’s quite crushing.

My song is from the perspective of a summer program crushing the dreams of most of its applicants.

All the women want me
Some men do too
I watch them nonchantly
I’ll only pick a few

It’s really rather funny
You think it might be you
That dream is warm and sunny
And too good to be true

Summer’s coming quickly
All in a rush
But when you’re planning out the season
you’re gonna get crushed

Please
Fuck Off
I haven’t got the time
To waste
On you
So sad, I must decline
I wish
You all
The best in what you do
But please
Fuck off
It never could be you

I can pick and choose
The people I like best
The ones I could abuse
But of course at their request

My devotees adore me
They’re a little bit obsessed
They’d do anything for me
While saying hashtag blessed

Summer’s coming quickly
All in a rush
But when you’re planning out the season
you’re gonna get crushed

Please
Fuck Off
I haven’t got the time
To waste
On you
So sad, I must decline
I wish
You all
The best in what you do
But please
Fuck off
It never could be you

opera sounds stressful. This is a different kind of sound for you? I do like the little blippy synth parts that come to the forefront here and there. I can see why the swears are used here.
