Hey baby, I just had a real bad dream Nothing was as it should be You shook me out of my sleep. Days lately are separating from the seams Nothing is as it should mean The sheep are counting me. Yeah maybe we can all get what we need We can be younger, dumb and free And we can all be happy. And we won't have to worry about it We won't have to worry about it. Windows down wild-eyed we shouted "We won't have to worry about it!" We won't have to worry about it We won't have to worry about it Summer's longer than we planned it We won't have to worry about it. All the roads we walk on end somewhere. Hey baby, I just had the greatest dream Everyone dancing in the street I coulda sworn it was real. And we don't have to worry about it We don't have to worry about it. Windows down wild-eyed we shouted "We don't have to worry about it!" We dont have to worry about it We don't have to worry about it Summer's longer than we planned it We don't have to worry about it. All the love that I can feel Seems uncanny and surreal Like 10,000 birthday parties Raining candy just for me But every plastic glowing rectangle Or apocalyptic tweet... You said "baby don't worry about it just go back to sleep."

See the light hitting the leaves Glowing like an emerald dream Windows open feel the breeze It moves right through the room to me Last night sleeping in the room on the floor I dreamt of you Age can be an ugly thing But you wear it so gracefully Yeah it's coming for us right between the eyes Wrinkles and the lines Overgrown but still alive Sweetness in a lie "We'll never die" Live an eternal life Empty room we turn inside Standing right in front of me A monument to memory Creaky floors, flickering lights Like 1 AM prefers July (From carpet to ceiling, everything has meaning From Hawley to Maple, just tryna keep it stable) Roots beneath that creep between The cracks like weeds in the driveway (From carpet to ceiling, everything has meaning From Hawley to Maple, just tryna keep it stable) Yeah it's coming for us right between the eyes Wrinkles and the lines Overgrown but still alive Sweetness in a lie "We'll never die" Live an eternal life Empty room we turn inside Yeah it's coming for us right between the eyes The final prize.

about

During July 2017, my childhood home in Mundelein, IL was up for sale. My father had moved everything out, but still had access to the home, and I asked if I could stay there for a few days to record some music in the empty house.

This was my first time setting up, recording, and mixing completely on my own. Huge thank yous to Seth Engel and Nick Levine for letting me borrow a ton of recording gear.

It was my goal to capture the sound of rooms around this home I lived in for my whole childhood, and to meditate on time and how it moves.
