I have a bad addiction so I can relate to what he is saying in this song

Lyrics:
Oh what a night, oh what a night, tears in my eyes, staring up at the sky in disbelief
"I've got a voice in my head, voice in my head"; that's what it said, all we really need is some comic relief

But I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore (Oh)
What's life going to become once we don't have anymore heroes?

We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
Laugh the pain away

John Belushi knew you and me better than we knew ourselves and we all listen to Richard Pryor (Ya)
I think don't make Philip Seymour Hoffman often, now he's one of the things we lost in the fire (Lord, yes)

But I'm afraid of not being able to laugh anymore (Oh)
What's life going to become once we don't have anymore heroes?

We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away

(Oh) Chris Farley can you hear me?
(Ah) Bernie can you hear me?

We don't know what the next man's going through, I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams
We don't know what the next man's going through, wish I could say it in a plainer way
I said we don't know, life reminds me of Robin Williams; we've got to laugh the pain away

Phil Hartman can you hear me? (Oh, yes)
Robin can you hear me?

I wish that I could say that I was in a “better place” when I found out the news.  It would make for a far more polished and respectable story.  But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2am as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I’d just purchased from Walgreens.  I was scared.  Scared to start working on new music.  Scared of trying again and failing.  Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn’t proud of.  Someone that I didn’t like.  Someone that wasn’t ready to be a dad.

I’ve always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father.  I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity.  I basically assumed that I'd have it all together.  But in actuality the hypothetical “dad" version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn’t talked to in months.  When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew. And I knew I had to change.

5 months later we were recording in a remote cabin away from the density that is Seattle.  I was finally having fun in the studio for the first time in years.  Songs were getting made, finally. I was going back to the city once a week to attend a birthing class with Tricia.  When I got back to the cabin the next day, Ryan had made a new beat that would eventually become the song you’re listening to.  Half of it is advice about growing up.  The other half is trying to figure out how to grow up myself.

When you try to escape yourself, life has an interesting way of creating situations that force you to come back.  To look at who you are.  This is why “Growing up” felt like the right song to re-emerge with.  It’s where I’ve been the last year, through all the ups and downs.   We didn’t want to do a big campaign or anything over the top with this.  We just wanted to put out good music, directly to the people that have been here since the beginning.  Thank you for your patience. Hope you enjoy.

And if you’re wondering…

Our daughter, Sloane Ava Simone Haggerty was born 2 months ago on May 29th.  There is nothing like the joy and happiness that comes from bringing a baby into this universe.  She has filled my heart in ways that I never knew were possible.  She is the love of my life.  This song is for her. 

-Ben
