Backstory:
The Giddy Conservative started off as a paradoxical joke between two college roommates, Bryson James, a consistently cheerful econ major, and Dwayne Harper, a politically driven history student. Although they viewed the world through different lenses, they found common ground in their shared love for music. They decided to fuse their seemingly opposing personalities into a single entity, giving birth to the Giddy Conservative. During their college years, they started off by playing gigs in local pubs and cafes, and by the time they graduated, they had gained a significant following. Their witty lyrics, unique sound, and infectious energy made them a crowd-pleaser, and thus, their journey into the music world began.

Title:
“Optimistic Pessimist”

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G D Em
I’m an optimistic pessimist,
C G D
Caught in my own Conservative bliss,
G D Em C
Daydreams are my giddy escape,
C G D
From reality’s sour grape.

(Verse 2)
G D Em
I find joy in the mundane,
C G D
In gentle rain, in every pain,
G D Em C
Life’s a paradoxical ride,
C G D
With my music as my guide.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
I’m the Giddy Conservative,
C G D
In my world, everything’s relative,
G D Em C
With my songs, I strive to give,
C G D
A voice to all who live.

(Verse 3)
G D Em
I’m an optimistic pessimist,
C G D
Can’t resist this twisted tryst,
G D Em C
Find my peace in the discord,
C G D
Striking a resonant chord.

(Chorus)
G D Em C
I’m the Giddy Conservative,
C G D
In my world, everything’s relative,
G D Em C
With my songs, I strive to give,
C G D
A voice to all who live.
