Anything to Do With Life

all roads lead to rome
and some of them will erode
but you know what they say about the ones that don’t
they were probably built with clumpy roman concrete

The Nuggets

when i was young it was paradise
growing up right by the riverside
by the riverside

but one day i looked for tilapia
and i couldn't find where the river was
where the river was

how'd my river abandon me
maybe lasers from space will see
the avulsions of yesterday
how my river curved away

when i was young it was paradise
but i've made my tilapia sacrifice
no tilapia, anymore

Six Feet Away

From the social distancing PSA “Six Feet Away” to the “Rating & Reviewing” call to action anthem to the ridiculous “Space Farce,” Today, Explained would not be Today, Explained without the music.

For years, listeners have asked where they can get our songs. Starting Friday, May 22 the first volume of Today, Explained’s original songs will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud as part of Today Explained: Greatest Hits.
