about

This is a trendy one. For this song, we started the basic tracks in December 2021. We worked on it off and on (mostly off) throughout the year and finally got it out the door. Paul wrote the lyrics and Jon filled in all the musical bits. Since the song is about nostalgia and pining for earlier times, we figured, "why not use instruments and recordings from our youth?" In this anthem, you'll hear familiar-sounding synths and drum machines from the 80s. We also utilized an old cassette recording of our friend and former Dorians Grae/The Stands bandmate Scott O'Hara (where the hell are you Scott??!) that Paul unearthed while listening through old tapes. You'll recognize the warbled intonations of a poor cassette recording that's been sitting in a hot car during a Texas summer. Cherish the memories.

lyrics

Transmission from another time
When the days were full and the clock stood still
The phone’s ring seemed like “Jingle Bells”
(…All the way)
Each new season had a feeling
Calendars were gospel truth
Holidays had whimsical appeal

It’s all too precious now

Tomorrow Tuesday was today
You never knew or thought about it
And all the time we had to play
Not knowing it would go away.

You never saw change in the mirror
The same old face from day to day
An awkward mess returned your gaze
Handsome Wendy took my hand (Why… I’ll never understand)
Bright brown eyes and a Pontiac
She wrote “I’m not me without you, babe.”

Tomorrow Tuesday was today
You never knew or thought about it
Innocence on full display
But we tried to lose it now and then
Aching to escape that state
Anywhere was a better place
And all the time that went to waste
Blind youth would fade away

Now I’ve been sitting here for years
Every dawn is just the same
Remembering the simple things
Longing to relive those days
