about

This single follows their 2017 sophomore EP The Bowling Alley Sound, a record that got the band named a “Fresh Find” for the first half of 2017 by Spotify. The outlet For Us Not Them said, “They do not sound like the jukebox or any bad disc jockeys you’ve heard at your neighborhood bowling alley, that’s for sure. The recently released EP is a mind-trip that will get your brain moving into places it hasn’t visited in a while, but these are happy places.”

The band's inspiration for this song came from a cross-country road trip with friends.

"We were driving down an Alabama highway in the middle of the night," describes guitarist Mike Basil. "Truckers were speeding past us, rain was pouring, and the thunder was unbearably loud. The woods along the highway were aflame in the distance. This tense, otherworldly experience is reflected in the song's dissonant chords, loud feel changes, and cymbal crashes. In contrast, the youthful voice of my nephew adds peace and resolve to the track, leading it out of a confusing place."

LYRICS

um, so, I found this thing
that had this thing
at different heights
on the top height
their were pyramids
and the pyramids
were on the top height
so, i was thinking,
hm, why don't I make a song about this?

it's important to be kind
because you don't know how other people
you know, how they feel
because you can feel
happy,
sad,
different emotions
kind of like tragedy,
um, comedy
you see,
being kind is so important
so, be kind to one another
bye mike!

the meaning of life is,
being true and being yourself
just,
be yourself
