Aaron Marks – It’s Not His Birthday But He’ll Get High Anyway (featuring Derek Baker) [Freestyle] - VIDEO



The video starts with Aaron and Derek, outside their tour bus, looking into the camera with serious faces on, before laughing after trying to keep straight faces for longer than 5 seconds. Aaron, wearing a standard outfit for him, black skinny jeans, a baggy t-shirt from a small clothing company, covered with an unbuttoned checked shirt, and black Vans without socks on to cover his feet. Derek on the other hand, is wearing 3/4 length chino shorts, and a baggy t-shirt with bright red Vans on.

Aaron speaks to the camera in his standardly high voice “Hey everyone, it’s me.. Aaron, and my boy Derek here! “ as Aaron mentions the same, Derek waves at the camera, smiling to himself. “So, we’re out in America at the moment, touring with Suburban Sunrise and Misery Loves Company. It’s sweeeeeeeet. Whilst tour is always good fun, we’ve been working on a beat to mess around with, and have decided to record a freestyle rapping session. Basically everything we say will be made up on the spot.”

Derek then steps infront of Aaron, quickly mentioning “My rap will be better, I’ve got some other influences, if ya know what I mean” whilst ending his sentence with a quick intake of the marijuana joint in his hand and winking at the camera.

“So anyway, here’s the beat” (which is heard at full studio quality due to editing.) “Let’s go!”

[Aaron Marks]
Sometimes I just sit back and wonder,
If life would be different having moved down under,
Instead I spend life on the road,
Writing ideas down in code,
Know that I’ll not regret it when I’ll old

It’s always the biggest choices I’ve made,
That seem to have given me the way,
To living life that’s not as free as they’d say,
Rather than write a proper song,
I’ll watch ma boy Derek hit up the bong!

[Derek Baker]
Living everyday like 4/20 since 2005,
Hard to believe how extreme this rideeeee
Has been for me,
Smoking a J everyday since pre-teen yearsssss,
But don’t touch nothin’ else, don’t want no tears
(aha!)

[Aaron Marks]
Spending most time on tour,
Working on new songs, or more,
Let’s just say that I love my fucking life,
And my music is like my wife

[Derek Baker]
Except you never want to leave her,
If music is a wife, then weed is my mistress;
Working both at the same time.
Got a lot o’ talent with a flow,
Won’t even sell out when the cash low,
Yeah that’s why you need ta turn up to all our shows,
‘cause otherwise we’ll have sell more blow!

The short free style finishes with the beat continuing, and Aaron and Derek laughing as the camera pans across and shows a scenic shot of the surrounding area.

Shortly after this a picture of the Love Alone EP artwork comes up with “LOVE ALONE COMING SOON!” written under it with a new acoustic riff playing in the background at this point.
