OUT TODAY!
“Lovers” is a tribute to those that we have loved, and those that those we loved have loved…might be my most romantic, real, yearning tune I’ve ever written.
It’s been a fascinating time in our household. Me writing a record about aging and love and the punk spirit of our youth, and my wife @ioneskyelee writing a memoir…the past has been on my mind and in our conversations… felt write to write a song about having a past that is full of gratitude. A grownup love song.
When I was thinking about the album artwork, I wanted an image of a real couple that was full of romance, hope, nostalgia but also recognizing the passing of time.
I texted Tim from Cub Sport cos I have been inspired by him and Sam’s love story. You can check out the text exchange that led to the single artwork in the slides below.
Song live on all streamers. Get into it. Share it with those you love, that you have loved, and those you hope to love.
