about

Dinner Party was written by Zak and Kami in April 2019 after both felt frustrated with how easy it was to lose friends at university.

“We wrote the song from start to finish in one sitting. I remember we were struggling to begin the song but once we had the first line, nobody I know can make plans with me, the rest of the song just fell into place.” Zak says.

“The song began with lyrics innocently expressing my frustration with my friends but as the song grew it became much darker!” Kami laughs. “When we wrote the verse line, maybe I should kill all of my friends, Zak and I knew we wanted to take that sentiment further in the chorus.”

Zak then recalls, “Kami and I had been writing together for a while and we had found a good rhythm together. We were starting to push each other to write more interesting lyrics and uncover the true emotion behind our songs.”

Kami adds, “Which is clearly that sometimes you just need to move on from your current friends. Kill them off, get them out your life!”

lyrics

Nobody I know can make plans with me,
Giving all my time but you’re never free,
Everybody just stands me up.
Everybody just stands me up.

My friends!
They will never know what they’re all missing,
Maybe I should kill all of my friends.

They will never know what they’re all missing,
Maybe I should kill all of my friends.

Whenever I’m lonely,
I call my mum,
She says she’s lonely,
This weekend I’m going home!

I killed my friends and now I don’t get lonely,
Sat with their corpses and had dinner party,
I killed my friends, now I don’t get lonely,
Buried their bodies and bought a pack of gum!

Nobody I know can make plans with me,
Giving all my time but you’re never free,
Everybody just stands me up.
Everybody still stands me up.

My friends!
They will never know what they’re all missing,
Maybe I should kill all of my friends (my friends).

They will never know what they’re all missing,
Maybe I should kill all of my friends!

Whenever I’m lonely,
I call my mum,
She says she’s lonely,
This weekend I’m going home!

I killed my friends and now I don’t get lonely,
Sat with their corpses and had dinner party,
I killed my friends, now I don’t get lonely,
Buried their bodies and bought a pack of gum!

I killed my friends and now I don’t get lonely,
Sat with their corpses and had dinner party,
I killed my friends, now I don’t get lonely,
Buried their bodies and had my pack of gum!
