"I'm so broke but they want more, do dooo do doh..."
"Life's Too Expensive for Me" by Unfortunately Steven, the musical moniker of Los Angeles based experimental indie singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Steven Ramirez, is incredibly now and prescient I suppose, a classic for all times. During the worst of times, we all need a piano honky tonk song while the Titanic is sinking. We need to commiserate while drunk and we need to laugh instead of cry. Listening to Ramirez's acerbic vocal aesthetic and funky song styles made me think of an amalgam of Harry Nilsson, Paul Williams, Leon Redbone and that piano player at the South Carolina pizza place. Hey, I'm sorry most everyone I mentioned is dead (R.I.P) and in the piano movements I thought of another iconic artist, Freddie Mercury (another dead guy- sorry) because there is a sort of sonic burlesque, glam, baroque pop, curls and glitter floating throughout this song.
