Wait, you don’t apologize to your diary? Or scribble phrases like, Oh. I’m swooning, while assuring the pages that they would too if they knew this guy? Aitis Band takes an adolescent crush play-by-play and makes it sound cool. While the fake guitar repeats He’s Great until you believe it. Experimental animator Exyl Space created a video for us at the Oxbow Artist Residency, depicting a delirious hang in the woods, by flashlight. Exactly how kids from Heath, Massachusetts like to party.

Lyrics:
Hi I’ve gotta sort my feelings out now
Please hush
He’s small
He has freckles

The first words he ever said to me were so tough
“Do you have a Quarter?”
Oh I’m Swooning
He’s great

Anyway I like him a lot
It makes me want to cry
When I first heard his name
Before I even knew who he was
I responded to it
I wrote it down
I like him
I was curious about him from the beginning
He astonishes me with his outrageous antics
It’s great

I like watching him
And listening to his outrageous stories
He's great

But he doesn’t feel the same way
Oh my God
Now he touches my hair
Picks me with his pencil
Chokes me

He hugs me from behind so I can't see his face
Puts his hand around my waist
Covers it up, does it to my friend too
He asked when I'll be around
Pretends we never met

I guess I talk about him a lot
But you would too If you knew him
He’s great
