1. I'm sorry: this song really isn't about anything. I recorded it downstairs in the barn really late one night and improvised the whole thing. I never want to play this live but I just felt like the peice deserves a spot on here.

2. Resurrection: this song is about casting a spell and bringing back the ghost of a lost friend. Its not so much of a break up song but more about losing someone to death rather than a fall out. Spooky times.

3. Black and Blue: I wrote this song in my studio sitting in front of the wall eisel on an old shitty guitar that was missing a few strings. Its mainly about my experience here in suburban massachusetts with love, family, regret, and drugs. I wrote this sometime in the summer hoping to play it at the Little Musket release show. And I did play it.

4. Salem: this song is about a shortlived friendship. About company I enjoyed and then lost all in same week. With distaste, empathy, but no regret, this song is about a friends sketchbook.

5. West Water Street: Quite a few years back I knew this girl who ended becoming a really good friend to me. We would sit in room for hours just getting high and drinking cheap vodka. It was a safe place for me. But every night I'd go home drunk and cut myself open and come crying to her the next day and she'd bandage me up, get me drunk again, and then we'd repeat. This went on for a little while until it all came to a bitter end.

6. Taste of Ink (FBP) : I have no explanation for this song. It was originally written to played in this awful grungey, sludge band i was in called Full Band Politics. We all wrote this song together and it did not come out good. But while I was recording this album I actually found the original lyric sheet all crumbled and fucked up on the floor of the barn. So i just polished it up and recorded it using computer monitors as a mic, and a left handed guitar with some missing strings. I think it came out alright.

7. Where did Eddie Vetter sleep last night? : this is a song I wrote and released back in 2014. It was originally featured on my first full length "Summer is Overrated," but I decided to bring it back from the dead. I couldn't tell you exactly what this song is about but singing it is very spiritual to me. Very cathartic.

8. In Love & Dead : this song really isn't about anything at all. I wrote it in 2014 and never recorded it. It just makes me feel sad and nostalgic to play.

9. Graves Disease: I was diagnosed with graves disease (hyperactive thyroid disorder) my sophomore year of high school. It has not really gotten better but I've learned a lot about myself. That is all.

10. Everything is okay: I was in the barn and just hit record and didn't any song written and just played random chords and impovised all of the lyrics and it ended being a dumb little song about someone I love v much. That's all I can really say. Probably won't play this live. Not sure yet.

11. Friends are for: this is a song about an idiot old friend who I feel guilty for not missing. So it is.

12. Speech is Silver: I really don't even know what I can about this song. I wrote this at a very dark time in my own life. To start, I just got really fascinated with the phrase, "silence is golden," and I found out that the phrase first appeared in some 19th century poem by a dead white man and the full line was, "speech is of the time and silence is of eternity." I guess I could give you one thing from this song, it would be that words are fucking wind and your promises mean nothing until you really put them into action. Its not about saying sorry, its about living the ammends. Even when no ones looking.

13. Hamgman: this is the ender. The last song. Its supposed to be a banger right? This song is depression, potholes, 19th century murders, and intense self deprocation. This isn't a sad ending. More of a happy one in spite of the painful end. Take it how you will. Thanks for listening. See ya next time.
