The latest single from Cal in Red is their first non-original release. It’s less a cover and more an amalgamation of two indie hits; “Can I Call You Tonight?” By Dayglow and “Quarterback” by Wallows. The seamless merger of these two tracks is characterized by hazy synths, springy guitars, and punchy drums. The brothers, for the second time, shared vocal responsibilities. With this song, Cal in Red has paid homage to their predecessors while also breathing new life into the very tracks that inspired them in the first place.

LONG IS THE DAY (A missionary song)

[Verse]

The dorm rooms emptied out on a Tuesday afternoon
God sent a plague just to clear the room
And I took it as a mercy, a holy hand upon my mouth
Saying, "Child, hush now, it’s time to go south"

I saw you lingering by the lake, looking for a sign
But I was already calculating the distance between your future and mine
You wanted a trinity, some twisted, jagged shape
But I don’t share the altar, and I don’t share the grape

[Chorus]

And I’m not gonna be the one who waits
While you weigh her iron against my silver gates
I want to be loved like a fever, absolute and cruel

Not just a passive character in your foolish adventure
So I let the silence eat the phone lines, I let the screen go black
Our Lord closed the world so I wouldn’t have to look back

[Verse]

April lied to us both, said we had time to steal
But I’m watching the odds rise and the sun get parched
You called seventeen times, I watched them all ring out
A mastermind builds a fortress while the others yell and cry

I studied the embers while you studied your regret
Choosing me, choosing her, a gamble you haven’t won yet
It was hurting my head, it was hurting my grades
So I took the knife and I cut the braids

[Chorus]

And I’m not gonna be the one who stays
While you weigh her flower against my blade
I want to be loved like a spark, sudden and undoing

Not just a footnote in your drifting fairytale
So I let the silence bite the phone lines, I let the screen go black
Our Lord made our world sick so I wouldn’t have to turn around

[Bridge]

I graduated in the quiet, a robe of heavy solitude
Honors on the paper, a starving attitude
And I think about you sometimes, stuck in that indecisive gray
Wondering where I went, and why I wouldn’t stay.

But I left a breadcrumb, a little piece of rot
For Chloe to find in the tangled knot
An anonymous text, glowing in the dark
1 4 3, yeah, that’s the mark

Let her have the truth, let her have her dignity
I’m walking clean down this empty road

[Outro]

It was divine intervention, baby, don’t you see ?
God stopped the spinning earth just to set me free
Just to set me free

From the half-love
From the half-life
I’m whole now
I’m whole now

Shame on me

Alone with You

Don't Be A Fool
