“Cig” by Baby FuzZ – A Song Review

     If you enjoy contrast within a song, “Cig” comes highly recommended. The vocals are pleasing. Like a glazed donut, they are enjoyable, but a steady diet would not be healthy. While the voice is light, it carries a lyrical darkness.

     “Cig” reflects upon the lives of people. There is an attraction to singing the song “Livin’ on a Prayer” and alcohol of some type (Pinot, Bud Light, or whiskey). And there is a common fate – we all burn out like cigarettes.

     “Baby FuzZ is the performance name of Sterling Fox. He moved to Montreal shortly after the 2016 presidential election. Regarding “Cig,” Fox described it “as a nihilist anthem for disillusioned chipmunks drenched in Bud Light and dark humor.” The Youtube page identifies other contributors as Spencer Lee (cowriter), Dave Deriso (drums), Will "Duefunk" Dufault (additional guitar), Chris Connors (mix/master), J. Cruz / Ethnikids (additional programming), and Michelle Rose (cello).

Lyrics of “Cig” by Baby FuzZ

She got on a plane

Took off town bound for Santa Fe

Touched down on the edge of another world

Made a few mistakes

And it's kind of hard to fuck the pain away

Hooked on amphetamine and pearls

Hey, she drove off into the sunset

Drinkin’ Pinot, singin’ ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’

Hey, when all her childhood dreams get put to rest

Maybe in another life, she'll get somewhere

But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes

Captain on the team

Quarterback on the varsity

Crowd goes wild he throws a touchdown

But graduation came, he lost his number but he kept his name now he’s

Pumpin’ gas at the Texaco downtown

Hey, he drove off into the sunset drinking Bud Light singin’ ‘Livin’ on a Prayer'

Hey, when all his childhood dreams get put to rest

Maybe in another life, he'll get somewhere

But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes

Now I’m singing a song for you

About a childhood dream that won't come true

Somewhere I’m out in the Midwest chasin’ mine

So if you're feelin’ blue

I’ll light up a match for you

And we'll send the world up in smoke tonight

Hey, we’ll drive off into the sunset drinkin’ whiskey singin’ ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’

Hey, when all of our childhood dreams get put to rest

Maybe in another, life we'll get somewhere

But in the end we all burn out like cigarettes

In the end we all burn out like cigarettes

In the end we all burn out like a cigarette
