COLLAR

I been thinking about all the times I was an asshole 
And I never really tell you that I’m sorry so 
I figured that I’d lay it down you always do the most 
And I never do the most 
I hope you don’t wanna go go 

Fucked up let me breathe for a minute 
That’s some tough luck 
Had enough of me for a minute 
 Cause I’m coming down 
And it can’t be 

Laying here face down on the concrete 

Cause I’m really fucked up let me breathe for a minute 

That’s some tough luck 
Had enough of me for a minute 
 Cause I’m coming down 
And it can’t be 

Laying here face down on the concrete 

Everyday I grow older
Start to think every single day grows colder

Everyday a lil less sober 
Tryna find a way to get the least fucked over 

But nah everything kosher 
Cause ion wanna talk and plus I’m on a low motor 
I’m really sorry what I wrote her 
Ion wanna fight can you please come over 

 fucked up let me breathe for a minute 

That’s some tough luck 
Had enough of me for a minute 
 Cause I’m coming down 
And it can’t be 

Laying here face down on the concrete 

Cause I’m really fucked up let me breathe for a minute 

That’s some tough luck 
Had enough of me for a minute 
 Cause I’m coming down 
And it can’t be 

Laying here face down on the concrete

Korean-Canadian multi-instrumentalist Luna Li reworks her second album, ‘When a Thought Grows Wings,’ for this deluxe edition, which features collaborators Hope Tala, Mei Semones, MAVI, HOMESHAKE and more. In this exclusive commentary, Luna talks about the making of key tracks from the album and reflects on key moments from her journey as an artist, such as the pivotal “2615.” Here, she explains how she began posting videos of her jams, looping every instrument herself, during the pandemic, noting how this time period was when she “was needing desperately to cling on to music, creativity and positivity to keep me sane.” Of the track, “Bon Voyage,” Luna discusses how the song explores questions of power of destiny: “How much autonomy and control do we really have in our lives?” Elsewhere, Luna reflects on her collaboration with Hope Tala (“I Imagine”), as well as celebrates how “Silver and Rain” and “You Didn’t Have to Go” are “close to her heart,” inspired by her native Toronto.

The LA-based indie pop duo HOLYCHILD went on indefinite hiatus a few years ago, but their “sex anthem” track “Bathroom Bitch” has been making waves online lately, a decade after it was first written. In this exclusive commentary, songwriter and vocalist Liz Nistico discusses the making of key HOLYCHILD tracks and her recent solo material as Revenge Wife. Liz reflects on how “Bathroom Bitch” was deemed too provocative for release at the time, noting, “I wanted to be really dirty and open lyrically. It’s so cool where it has gone now.” Elsewhere across the HOLYCHILD catalog, Liz breaks down how “Fight For Me” came from being inspired to buy a piano after an ayahuasca ceremony, and “You Make Me Sick” came from studio sessions in London with Greg Wells, a collaborator of Katy Perry and Adele. While her former partner, Louie Diller, has gone on to produce other artists, Liz is now focused on her new solo project, Revenge Wife. Her new single, “Waste of Tears (Cry All Summer),” represents “where I’m at lately as a musician,” she says. Hear more from Liz Nistico, only on SoundCloud.

LA-based crate digger, DJ, producer and radio host Daniel T’s new track, “One Look,” features his friend Andy Cabic, from the San Francisco band Vetiver, on vocals. “We banged it out — with no AI, I might add,” he says, who was one-half of the Cosmic Kids before going solo. In this exclusive commentary, Daniel T discusses the making of “One Look” and other tracks, including “Moon Walkin’” (featuring Joshua Hodges of STRFKR) and “The Pop,” which he describes as a “sort of disco, sort of hip-hop” song that fills “the zone where ‘80s Grace Jones and the first Gorillaz album might meet.” Listen now.

Atlanta-based pop-punk newcomers The Paradox just dropped their debut EP, ‘NSFW,’ having already won over big-time admirers like Green Day and Jack White. In this exclusive commentary, Paradox frontman Eric Dangerfield talks about the making of the 2025 EP and their key collaborations. On the party track “Bender,” Eric says, “It’s obviously amazing to work with a legend like Travis Barker. He’s someone we’ve all looked up to our whole lives.” All four band members are African-American, a fact that inspired the song “Get the Message.” As Eric notes, “We always believed that music was the only option. No matter how many people tell you it’s impossible, it never is.” Listen now, only on SoundCloud.
