about

This is a song I wrote with one of my closest friends and collaborators, Zach (or Emmett Sola). All summer we would have great talks about music and just our general well-being, as well as how our outlooks on life have been shifting. This song was about how we turned 24 this summer, which is the halfway point between 18 and 30. This is a big concept in my head because 18 was so youthful in that it was the moment you turned an adult and had wide eyes, whereas 30 seems like the year where that innocent outlook on the rest of your life goes to die. So 24 is this very weird spot to be. We didn't really come to a resolution on how we felt about that, which is exemplified by that sort of meditative open ending. However, we wrote about how we are anticipating & already feeling that youthfulness dissipate as we gradually deal with the increasing demands of adulthood. Concurrently, the new dream was to "return home" to those youthful aspirations and take the "long way" by learning from mistakes and new experiences. Your outlook can change based on what you have been through but continually pushing yourself to grow is something that can remain.

lyrics

Sydney said she was turning 30
Sydney said she would start a family
The kid is dead, along with her dreams
I wonder when that’ll happen to me
A second ago i was turning 18
6 years to go ill be turning 30
Back here for all that she knows this just feels nice
Before you promise…the amount that they lied…for…
Oooohhhh…
Fighting love…
Don’t minimize you…
Can’t minimize this…
Let it minimize you…
We often take the long…way home and ohhh…
God only knows…must have lost control…ohh woah woah woahhh…I…
All in a rush when I’m lonely…
Falling in love with supposed to be’s
Not to minimize you…
Ooohhhh…woahhh…ohhhohhohhhh
