I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)

if it reminds me

Simple

Front Seat

Something More

Without You

Around the time this song was written, I experienced more anxiety than at any other time in my life. It wasn’t one big thing, there were several different issues that flooded my body with adrenaline with my first thoughts each morning. To cope with these fears felt like jumping into deep water, holding my breath for as long as possible and dive right through to the other side. But the deeper I was diving, the more I lost faith that I would ever be able to breathe again. Writing this song was like a Zen exercise for me. It helped me zero in on the moment and not let my anxieties get as big as they sometimes had gotten. It gave me strenght and confidence whenever I sung it, instead of being the frightened little boy I’d become over time.

Lyrics:
I will be diving
cannot wait I’m trying
washing of the waters
going in no matter if I’m prepared

and maybe
I did wrong so blame me
don’t you think I’m sorry
but you know I never have been so scared

And I’m pulled right under
all my life’s on mute
but I’m giving in
yes I’m giving in

I may never learn to run
but I’ll be soaking wet
I’m just having too much fun
not the tiniest regret

next and above me
to protect and love me
each and every morning
will you stay when nobody else is there

And I pull right under
all my life’s complete
and I’m giving in
yes I’m giving in

I may never learn to run
but I’ll be soaking wet
I’m just having too much fun
not the tiniest regret

I May Never Learn To Run

“I’ve grown to expect shimmering, unafraid art from their music and videos, and they deliver every time.”

Maple & Beech is the music of Minnesota producer Tyler Tholl. Originally a solo recording project, Maple & Beech has grown into a seven-member ensemble of Tholl’s friends and family making “smart, glossy pop music” (Reviler).

The band released their new self-titled album on September 6th, 2019. Throughout its ten songs, Maple & Beech explores contrast; how we dance between lies and truths, isolation and community, despair and hope, anger and love, noise and order.
