about
Point of Interest: 'Distinctly Average' was recorded at The Forum Music Centre Studio in Darlington by Winter Jargon.
'Distinctly average' addresses the complications in female relationships. It was originally composed on guitar but was eventually switched to piano as the lead instrument following Rachel's three month solid craze of listening to The Dresden Dolls' 'Punk Cabaret' style music.

lyrics
"You're called 'Distinctly Average'.
But she's so full of it.
This girl knows 'everything' so just humour her existence.
And let her believe the sad, pathetic lie.
Remember she's just insecure.
(That's why she takes it out on you.)
I know it doesn't make it right, but do not lower yourself to nothing.
O' these little stabbings you will use to your advantage. In the end, you will triumph and she will lose.
You need this arrogance for once in your life.
I know that you are modest but she is really ignorant to how things really are.
I hope this is your favourite song on the album, and if it isn't, I will laugh... 'ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.'
O' it feels so good to have petty consolation.
To be disgruntled about things that don't matter.
This is the aftermath of the malfunction. My world isn't ending anymore. I can see the prequel, the aviary. My world is exactly how I want it to be."
But she's so full of it.
