about

voice memo i captured right after this song fell out of me on November 3, 2022

I wrote this song after returning to Butte after a fantastic west coast Bombshell Nightlight tour in late October 2022 - with Sandy, Kale, and Noelle (and Sheryl.. the car). I was trapped in the juxtaposition of the post tour blues and an overwhelming amount of love. I felt so much love for the band and all of the wonderful people in my life, and for the opportunity to make art and community through music. A shining light amidst so many dark things <3

The dog in the pic is me and my partner Cassie's dog Blizzard :)
For what its worth I don't think that she want to get away from it all lol

lyrics

took a walk the other way
snow and leaves and decay
all the dogs are barking
'cause they wanna get away from it all
do they want to get away from it all?

sit at the desk till i'm bored
losing focus and meaning
will we work until we die?
'cause we don't know what to do with ourselves
yeah we don't know what to do with ourselves

i watched the birds on halloween
doing nothing but living
we don't know what we're doing
yeah we don't know how to care for eachother
can we learn how to love one another
i know we want it all but we can't have it all
yeah we want it all but we can't have it all

this week we got to hold it
this week we were held by it
such a rare and special thing
such a precious thing to be in it
such a precious thing to believe in it
such a precious thing to be in it
such a precious thing to believe in it
