new song!

we just posted a new song on our myspace today. it's a demo version of a song called "in lieu of" which will be featured on a compilation from a record company called Zommerkamp out of Mexico. we are all really excited about this compilation mainly b/c of some of the other bands featured on it (Louise Cyphre, the Caution Children, Straight No Chaser, etc), we're hoping to get some copies of it and will let you guys know if and when that happens.

the song we posted is called "in lieu of." it's our sixth and shortest song. when we talk about it, we always call it the "tropical song" b/c of jer's bass line in the beginning of the song. i typically cover different topics within the same song just b/c im pretty ADD when i write i guess. i start the song off talking about an encounter i had with a girl in passing that really just made my day. it lasted about .5 sec, but it really brightened up my day. no words were exchange, just a smile. the rest of the song kind of goes through a scenario that i played in my head if this girl and i had actually had a thing. the song ends with the question "if she would have stayed, what kind of man would i be?" referring to an actual relationships that ive had and questioning what kind of person i'd be right now if i had actually staying in them.

pretty weird right? 

either way, it's a fun song to perform b/c it's really fast and there's a lot going on. justin's and my lyrics kind of overlap each other a couple of times and we always talk about different things in each song so it has a bunch of layers to it.

be sure to take some time to listen to it and maybe even read the lyrics.
