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

lyrics~

down below
my thoughts can wander and i
let go
i don’t need much in my life
i know
i like it better underwater

ive been drowning in anemone
here you’ll never get the best of me
ive been drowning in anemone
breathing deep 
breathing deep

down below
sandy like the ocean floor
quiet like i like it
here ill never be alone

i pause my life
i spend my time
its always right
its never wrong to try

it’s been alright
ive been alright

but here its better
i heal better

i like it better underwater
send me underwater


feeling little pulls
wont get the best of me so 
la la la lets go
a little destiny 
to tell you what you know
a fatal recipe of life

dreaming ‘bout a place 
where i can be by myself

Fatoumata Diawara - Sowa (Alex Garett & Greg Herma Edit)

On December 31st, 2017, I spent the day in Death Valley with one of my best friends and 5 strangers. We would spend the last day of the year walking into a beautiful canyon. Water trickled down verdant drapes of fern and sedimentary skyscrapers staggered and soared into the sky above us. After a day of adventuring and a heavy dose of giggles, we chased the sun out of the canyon. The bright orange setting star that once lit up the valley below us sunk behind the mountains, and the landscape was painted over and over with smokey orange, magnolia pink, and dusty lavender. As purple faded to a canvas of indigo, the full moon, round and glowing, soared into the sky. We knew it was coming, but it was still so unexpected. It was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve experienced. The full moon called to us, and we swayed our hips in return. Blasting music, we danced for hours in the trunk of his Dodge RAM. On the drive home I sang Ultralight Beam with my head out the window. That night we sunk into hot springs and let our tired bodies disintegrate.

Lyrics:
Subiendo con la luna
Siguiendo sus huellas 
Fumando la biblia
Qué Dios nos bendiga! 

Mi nombre en cursiva
Escapa por tus labios
Pasea el oscuro
Y baila con el humo

Y bailamos con el humo

You got my heart wide open
Lemme know if you need it
You got my eyes wide open
And I like what I’m seeing
Come around more often
This is what I’ve been needing
You got my lips wide open
Lemme know if you’re breathing

Ey, tronco! El chisqueiro
Pido desde el cielo 
Mientras mi cuerpo
Alcanza el infinito

Ay guapo pero guapo
Ya sé lo que quiero 
Anhelo otro beso
Que queme mis huesos

I don’t have to chase reality
It always catches up to me And I’ve wasted enough energy
On those who give no fucks
Give no fucks
Give no fucks bout me

You got my heart wide open
Lemme know if you need it
You got my eyes wide open
And I like what I’m seeing
Come around more often
This is what I’ve been needing
You got my lips wide open
Lemme know if you’re breathing 
La luna llena, bailamos con el humo
La luna llena, bailamos con el humo
La luna llena, bailamos con el humo
La luna llena, bailamos con el humo

English: 
Rising with the moon
Following her footsteps
Smoking the bible
May god bless us

My name in cursive 
Escapes from your lips
Passes in the dark
And dances with the smoke

And we dance with the smoke

*chorus*
 Ey dude, the lighter!
I ask from the sky 
As my body
Becomes infinite  Handsome (but like… handsome)
I already know what I want
I crave another kiss
That burns in my bones

*bridge*

*chorus*

The full moon, we dance with the smoke 
The full moon, we dance with the smoke 
The full moon, we dance with the smoke  
The full moon, we dance with the smoke
