i lost my heart learning to read and found some faith for reason i couldn’t see you know i’m a mess, it’s entirely true you know i’m a mess, but it’s the best i can do i lost my voice learning to read it’s a language of love through hate you could never understand it all you know i’m a mess, it’s entirely true you know i’m a mess, but it’s the best i can do i’m coming over cuz there’s nothing to do i’ve been down before but i’d rather be there with you let’s smoke our brains into a steady stew of what should we do now?

about

i remember writing ‘move this’ on an acoustic guitar in the back of off with their heads RV in st. paul, minnesota. we had been away from home for a long ass time because the fake boys had done multiple US tours consecutively and then ryan and i filled in for off with their heads for a few months. it was a super cool experience, we met a ton of people, got to play ‘i quit’ in the OWTH set every night, and got to sell some records to people in places we hadn’t ever been. after a couple months joe was going to meet up with us so OWTH and the fake boys could do a tour through a bunch of places that bands don’t often get to play like north and south dakota, montana, and wyoming to name a few. when we got home i decided that i was going to write a record because i had quit my job a few years before to go out on tour forever and i had nothing to do. my dad and i would smoke weed like motherfuckers, listen to records, and talk about music every night after i got home. it was a really great experience because i had missed my family a lot. my dad had this old cassette boom box and a bunch of dubbed cassettes from the 80’s lying around. most of them had random live recordings of all his old bands on them which was pretty cool. eventually i recorded a bunch of the songs i had written on a tape and i would sit there and play along to it for hours, trying to figure out what i wanted to do with the parts. i remember smoking joints and spacing out, playing the songs over and over while my dad just sat there listening. it was great to have his feedback and to see his reaction when he really liked something. I was super bummed when that tape finally broke but by this time we were just about ready to record. the only song that wasn’t written yet was ‘realest world’ which was written right before we started recording. i have a vague memory of playing ‘best post’ for our friends in mixtapes in some random guitar store down south somewhere so i know at least the basic skeleton of that song was written pretty early on, and if i remember correctly ryan from mixtapes bought a really cool strat that day. we had just met mixtapes and had played a few shows with them and we got along really well. i wanted to write a song for them because i was so happy to be friends. hanging out with them in the middle of long, lonely tours was an incredible relief. i remember talking to them about the song and we came up with the idea of us both singing the same lyrics but to our own musical arrangements. it was like we were talking to each other through our records just to say i miss you. after we finished recording the record i remember sending it to a couple people, one being ryan from mixtapes who sent it to matt medina at animal style records. matt hit me up immediately and we became really close. matt was really into the record so there was no decision to be made, it was his and i didn’t bother to send it to anyone else after he reached out. i believe we only did one full US tour after the record came out, and things were wonderful but i was absolutely exhausted and incredibly homesick. at this point i think we all kind of wanted something different from music and i was having trouble being away from my new wife and doggie. this would be the end of ryan’s time with us but looking back i’m glad that everyone got what they wanted out of the situation.
