Tedious & Brief Releases Single “Not That Deep”

23 year-old native from Chicago Jamie Jacobsen, better known as her music moniker Tedious & Brief has released a new single called “Not That Deep”. On “Not That Deep,” Jamie takes a deep-dive into a break-up story that’s not even her own.

Jamie shares,

“My husband came to me with the opening lyrics of the song, I’m tired of singing your songs. I thought they were for me, but turns out they were yours all along.’ He’s a studio drummer and every session he played on that week was for songs touching on the subject of a person who broke the writer’s heart. He thought to himself, ‘What does it look like once you’re done grieving and you’re ready to move on? You’ll look back at your catalog of music and realize you’ve been writing about the same person and heartache and you’re eventually sick of giving them that attention.’

“So that’s what we wrote about. Not That Deep comes from the perspective of a person who’s done thinking about that passive tweet; who’s ready to burn the shirt they were bought, who’s over writing songs about them; and—most of all—is don’t letting that person have power over them.”
