This songs about all of the millions of little compounding things that have happened in the past that led us to the reality we’re living in now, and if one little thing would have happened differently way down the line you never would have been born

Contingency

Command+Q is the easiest way to quit a program on the computer. I wrote this one after some bitches stole my Peru retreat in the most mean and cowardly way @ shelby @ kari

Command+Q

This one’s about staying up all night overthinking the same thing over and over again and how you feel ridiculous when the sun comes up. I made the beat for the chorus with a ton of different explosion sound effects I found on the dark web.

Lobotomy

Isn’t it annoying how people say no to plans because they’re too tired but then later say things like “where did all the time go” when they reach the end of their lives/high school/college and realize they didn’t do enough? This one is about how it’s important to live in the moment and although we will never have an answer to where we go when we die or what the correct way to pave our futures may be, we have complete control over spending our time meaningfully in the moment and doing things with purpose. I wrote it after a couple of my friends we’re too tired to go eat wings at buddies and I was feeling disgusted with people and society.

Where the Time Goes

I was on the tech crew for musical in high school and this ones about watching our last show senior year from backstage, seeing people be nervous as hell then walk on stage and kill it, and how imagining the future felt sort of nostalgic.

Let's Go To The Stars

I wrote this song on a trip I took to Columbus Ohio to see a Fleetwood Mac concert, in a tiny retro apartment that I hauled a keyboard up into, at a point in my life where I felt particularly lost.

High Street

I can’t remember why I was upset but I was and in the midst of all the adrenaline I made this trapy remix of 7NA in a half hour, as one does

7 Nation Army [Remix]

This one’s about cool vans and a bunch of other stuff but she swore me to secrecy ;)

Cool Vans

You know the moment after you’ve been running really fast and then you slow down and and your hearts pounding and you realize how long you’ve been running and how out of breath you are? This song is about how that feeling translates to life and how we subconsciously stay so busy to protect ourselves from our own thoughts and feelings and then when things finally slow down it almost feels more overwhelming, and the more we strain to figure something out the more the answers slip our minds. The recording at the beginning of the song is from a video of my friends Logan, Cian, Vivian, Olivia, and I on our camping trip we take every summer.

the best of you
