about
So, it’s 2017, Trump was “elected”, and we were surrounded by rednecks and conservatives, racists and bigots all being the worst possible versions of themselves. This song was probably written in a state of shock after Trump’s “very fine people on both sides” comment regarding the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, VA.
The foundation of the song was a Casio SK-5 drum setting processed through a Moogerfooger ClusterFlux pedal. Also, my dear friend Kendra Frost came in and , in addition to the "la/la/la/la's" wrote the “pick a side” vocal in the end and I feel like that added an even more irreverent, “fuck off” edge to it. The choruses also referenced my internal war with addiction (“and now we fight/ because it’s war”) and always feeling at odds with oneself.
lyrics
Here comes your girl with the candy hands
vinyl car
stonewashed hair
Here comes your man with a mind of meat
sideways stare
no decency
And now we fight
because it’s war
Here comes your girl with the candy hands
Stonewashed smile
Stonewashed man
And now we fight
Because it’s war (just pick a side, pick a side)

Fun, bright post-punk that emulates the bands I grew up with so well that I honestly had to check and make sure the album wasn't a re-release from 1984. So glad this came up in my recommended feed. modestwriggles
