"Sag" is the lead single from Troubadour (Nov 14th): https://tiberiuswright.bandcamp.com/album/troubadour-2

“Sag is about this dreaded ‘Allston to Bushwick’ pipeline we have in Boston. A lot of musicians end up using Boston to cut their teeth before heading off to New York or LA to pursue their music careers. I wrote ‘Sag’ when I was really playing the ‘comparison game’ in my head, and asking myself what role I wanted music to play in my life. It was the first in a batch about looking at yourself in relation to the others around you, and trying to decipher who you are without that context.“ – Brendan Wright (they/them)

Lyrics:

Free cheers for Elliot!
How’d you get so down?
How’d you get so sad, walking through the grocery store while talking with your dad?

I have no patience for this urgency
I’ve been pining after too many things

Try to let it go if it really makes you feel so alone
Looking at yourself through the eyes of everybody else

Lately I’ve been aggrandizing self importance

I want it more than I could ever say
But I’ve seen the doorway shut
The paralyzing eyes 
An iridic speck of light

And if you’re sad about moving on
Well that makes sense but New York aint too far
From dragging amps and dragging ass to play a show at the tourist trap
Why do I try
 to keep on trying?

Production and instrumentation by Noah Tanen, vocals and production by Julia Sandler. Cover of Clarence Clarity's "Meadow Hopping, Traffic, Stopping, Death Splash"
