Last First Kiss

A reimagining of a song originally written by Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and performed by The Monkees on their final album Good Times. I stumbled across the song a couple of years back and listened to it over and over and over. There's something incredibly special about it, this beautiful ode to a love beyond measure.

Sincerest thanks to friends and talented musicians Austin Basham and Jack In Water on backing vocals, la.nskey on viola, and Nashville's Philippe Bronchtein (Hip Hatchet) on lap steel.

We hope you like it.

Me & Magdalena

‘Feel Again' was written after a meaningless hookup where I felt a desire for something deeper. As a young adult in LA, I was definitely influenced by our modern "hookup culture" to be satisfied with meaningless physical relationships but I began to feel empty and realized that as humans, one of our primary needs is true connection, care and affection. The song was written in the moment when I realized I wanted more. Literally a few weeks later, I met the love of my life.

Feel Again

released September 27, 2019 

Recorded at Yama-Nui Studio, Sunshine Coast QLD - AUSTRALIA 
Produced by Lord Tanuki & Pat Tierney 
All instruments by Pat Tierney and Pauli B 

Released 27-9-2019

My Sweet Love

These Cold Nights

Thursday is a song about personal growth and defining ourselves in defiance of our obstacles. It was written about Brian’s feelings during quarantine toward the beginning of May, but in light of recent tragedies, and in the process of editing its video, the song has taken on new meaning to all of us. 

Made up of clips submitted by our friends in the Cold Weather Collective, the video (which you can find here: https://smarturl.it/CWCThursdayVideo)is a celebration of community—a call for togetherness and unity in the face of any threat, whether viral or virulent. We hope this both the video and song find you safe, with a spirit of hope for a fairer future for all. --CWC

Lyrics:
Living on my own now 
In the house that I grew up in 
Behind my expectations 
Navigating great anticipation 

I’m in touch with myself now 
Can’t escape from myself—am I wasting life? 
I’m still answering questions 
I’m still searching for something to leave behind 

I’d like to hibernate a while 
Every day is Thursday 
Cover my face and dream for now 
Every day is Thursday 

Waiting for a moment, 
Learning for a better time, 
Another day in slumber 
Waiting for a moment, 
Building what I’ve had in mind 
Another day in wonder 

I’m still looking for signs, though
I’m still grasping at goals, never lost in the vines
I’m still looking inside, though
I used to pick apart, I’d over criticize

I’d like to hibernate a while 
Every day is Thursday 
Cover my face and dream for now 
Every day is Thursday 

Waiting for a moment, 
Learning for a better time, 
Another day in slumber 
Waiting for a moment, 
Building what I’ve had in mind, 
Another day in wonder 

Time, Flowing, Minds Can Grow Alone 
Every day is Thursday

Thursday

📖 About the song:
New single 'Hey Mister' from Montreal indie-folk band RedFox gives off a vibrant energy that is sprinkled with drops of melancholy and self reflection. The song is about watching people's lives pass by, but more specifically about witnessing people struggle and the difficulties one encounters feeling helpless as they watch these people fall. The idea is that one wants nothing more than to be a support for those around them, only to realize, they first need to support themselves, and accept their own struggles. Only then can they see more clearly. We hope this song relates to those discovering new aspects of themselves, and new ways of life amidst this pandemic.

📝 Lyrics:

Hey Mister Rainfall
What you doin' on that cloud? 
Painting tears on windowpanes
As if everything's alright
On a mission
To wash all worries off your hands
Though the ink was made to stain
And is everything alright? 

I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
I must be stuck in the mirror

Hey Mister Strongman
What you doin' on the ground? 
Holding worlds above your head
As if everything's alright
Your body's shakin'
Under the weight of all their pain 
Was it worth it in the end? 

And is everything alright? 
And is everything alright? 

I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
I must be stuck in the mirror

As if everything's alright
I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
And I must be stuck in the mirror

Is everythin' alright? 
I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
And I must be stuck in the mirror

📝 Lyrics:

I been waking up early,
Leave my hair curly,
Put some plants inside my room.
Haven't seen my friends in quite a while,
I'll see them soon.
And I still got you,
And I still got me.
And this isn't where I thought I'd be.

Maybe this is happy.
Maybe this is happy.
'Cause I'm starting to like me,
Take it more light now I see,
Maybe this is happy.
Happy.

And I lost my job,
And I lost my house,
And I lost my necklace in the sea.
And I lost so many things
that I start to forget.
But I still got you,
And I still got me.
And this isn't where I thought I'd be.

Maybe this is happy.
Maybe this is happy.
'Cause I'm starting to like me,
Take it more light now I see,
Maybe this is happy.
Happy.

Haven't been anywhere in months,
Fallen out of love more than once.
Never thought that I'd get to be
Whoever I wanna be.
All freckles beside the sea.
I'm starting to see, 
I'm starting to see.

Maybe this is happy.
Maybe this is happy.
'Cause I'm starting to like me,
Take it more light now I see,
Maybe this is happy.
Happy.

Maybe this is happy.
Maybe this is happy.
'Cause I'm starting to like me,
Take it more light now I see,
Maybe this is happy.
Happy.

Maybe this is happy.
I think that this is happy.
