Written in 2020. In equal measures informed by Dennis Johnson’s novel Angels, the death of country singer Justin Townes Earle, William Ackerman and other new age, ambient guitar shit, red wine and mushrooms, the dissolution of Star 80 1.0, the dissolution of a relationship, “depression,” and Grand Theft Auto. Stand-alone single. Gonna release more of these over the coming months before the unveiling of more Hi-Fi efforts. In all evil streaming markets but may take a sec for Spotify. This one reminds me of a broken old toy or a scary doll that people scoff at but still comforts you at night. Grateful for my friends who helped. - Matt

lyrics
I know what it's like to be alone
on some highway in the incredible noon
in all the bankrupt cafes that shimmer
and all the abandoned dressing rooms
in the lights that burn in windows so far from home

I know how it feels to be so lost
in the mirrors face where another man cries
for all the broken minds manically drifting
pulling at the ribbons of their lies
among friends who know what its like to pay that cost

I know all the turns that this takes
down the stairs towards a song
where every evening an iridescent Elvis
shakes his hips inside my heart
where the road that leads where I'm going ain't so long

I know these words just fall short
I've seen the city dance beneath my eyes
and the country side explode in my vision
I've seen my faith out in the dark
as we stood up stepped out of the husks of our lives
