Further Joy

Barely on My Mind

The latest single from Cal in Red is their first non-original release. It’s less a cover and more an amalgamation of two indie hits; “Can I Call You Tonight?” By Dayglow and “Quarterback” by Wallows. The seamless merger of these two tracks is characterized by hazy synths, springy guitars, and punchy drums. The brothers, for the second time, shared vocal responsibilities. With this song, Cal in Red has paid homage to their predecessors while also breathing new life into the very tracks that inspired them in the first place.

Am I Your Girl

Am I Your Girl (Dance Version)

Verse 1 – male vocal, guitar groove begins]
Every day,
the same old lines,
the same worn-out phrases,
looping like broken time.
Words that chill,
but I still
listen on repeat
against my will.

[Verse 2]
You never say, “enough for now,”
won’t turn the page or leave the crowd.
You could just say “take the floor,”
but you just shrug
and lock the door.

[Chorus – Hammond organ rising, melancholic melody]
Your day
was just another glitch in the code,
a system crash
you thought you could unload.
You pressed delete,
and called it clean,
but happy endings
aren’t that lean.

[Bridge – echoing vocals, slight distortion]
Words fly sharp between us,
like razors in the rain,
yesterday you felt love grow,
today you call it pain.
Yeah, it taught you well,
but you still fell.

[Chorus – full band, layered organ and guitar]
Your day
was just a fault in your machine,
a line of code
too rarely seen.
You wiped the screen,
you walked away,
but something’s missing
still today.

[Outro – soft organ fade, spoken over guitar riff]
Make some space,
say “go ahead,”
a simple gesture
instead of dread.
Raise your hand
and let it show –
we were just gamblers
in love’s shadow.
