I heard about Claud on accident a few years back. I remember hearing the single for "Guard Down" and thinking "Hey, that's pretty good. I should sample this."

My first idea was to do an NY Drill remix of it, thinking that because they were from New York, it would be kinda funny. Problem was, I never had the motivation and never got around to it. Later on I end up finding out that Claud... is not from New York. They're from Highland Park, IL. 


Realising I had no meme-like idea to pin this to, I just decided to do it in the style that I've enjoyed making. With the intention of possibly writing to it... giving it the intentional theme of Claud's voice being like my nervous system telling me "Don't Let Your Guard Down". The idea being the feeling of anxiousness with new love created by past relationships... and eventually learning to be vulnerable with my new love as it ends with "Let Your Guard Down".

Either way, this was fun to make, and I'm basically considering it done so I don't overthink it into mush. 

If Claud happens upon this: Hey. Thanks for being a musician. I thought the song was dope and I hope you enjoyed my little sample flip piece right here.

If you're wondering about the title: I wanted to reference "Guard Down" in a way that amused me... also I play a lot of fighting games, so I felt like an arrow for "crouch guarding" using your Super Monster era colour scheme would be a nice touch.

Crouch Guard

The thing is, you can not just expect to walk in
somewhere and talk other people into being like
you. It is just not the way it works.

When I arrived on my very first mission
I thought about that adage ‘bout teachin’ men fishin’
I carried my books and my sermons in my hand
To guide a few souls in a faraway land

But they opened their tables, they opened their doors
They showed me a grace that I’d been searching for
I went there to teach, but I then I learned instead
How to soften my heart and just let myself be led

I spoke of the future, of progress and gain
But they spoke of patience, and letting go of pain
I showed them all my lessons, then they sang me their songs
And I found what I hadn’t wanted, but needed all along

Life is about sharing view points and taking everybody’s
point of view seriously. With out that, we have chaos.

‘Cause they opened their tables, and they opened their doors
And they showed me a kind of peace that I’d been longing for
You see, I went there to give, but I learned how to receive
And to find my own healing in what those folks believe

Sometimes the teacher is really the student
And sometimes the wise are the ones called imprudent
Sometimes the poorest have the richest crops to sew
Sometimes you find love in the place that let you go

If you expect people to find their answers only in the
places that you have looked, then you do not have your
eyes open.

Cause they opened their tables, they opened their doors
And they gave me the gift I’d been praying for
I thought I was saving, but it’s they that rescued me
And now I’m living my life with brand new eyes to see

They opened their tables, they opened their doors
And they gave me the gift I’d been praying for
I thought I was saving, but it’s they that rescued me
And now I’m living my life with brand new eyes to see

If you do not have your eyes open, you are not ready to 
learn, and if you are not ready to learn you are not ready
to teach. You can not just expect to walk in
somewhere and talk other people into being like you. It is
just not the way it works.
