Movies I'll Never Be

WORDS BY Carrie Caffrey
MUSIC BY ERIKA JI

Alice is a graduate film direction student in the middle of first year welcome week. She has just exited yet another class assembly for new students, and is feeling particularly overwhelmed by the crowd surrounding her. At home she was "the director" or "the movie girl." Now she is surrounded by talented students with similar interests, leaving her feeling unsure of her place. This song is about longing for a simple identity when it has been stripped away, even if it means putting yourself back into a box.
