#hellogoodfriend

for my head. for my heart. for what's true. 💜 "never knew" is the very first rocket summer song i ever heard. from 14 to 27, i've screamed it loud in the crowd + sang it to my soul, in quiet moments when i felt so alone.. it's such a gift to not only have bryce's music to hold dear, for all these years, but also to see him create these tracks from the ground up.. it's something i can't quite wrap my mind around. the man can + has played every instrument on every record, not to mention producing + mixing, since he was in high school.. he's magic of another kind, i swear. we're so lucky to have you in this life (+ the next), b! thank you for everything. ⚡️ #morethanmusic #therocketsummer #favorite #neverknew #hellogoodfriend #live #music #summer #magic #chillouttour #chicago #parkwest #chicagolove #heathers2018showseries (at Park West)

When you run into @bryceavary randomly at #RecordStoreDay and he gives you a shoutout on his #Instagram. Hello, Good Friend. *Some people don't know but I was the street teamer and a market rep for a label who released a couple of his albums (The Rocket Summer). I'm so proud of everything he's released and I look forward to his new music and to sharing it with you guys. He's one of the most talented musicians I know. Good to see you again friend. #TheRocketSummer #DoYouFeel #HelloGoodFriend #Walls #RecordStoreDay #RecordStoreDay18 #RSD2018 (at Good Records)

Hello my good friend Often I see you Too often I trust you are there And without even a call You rush to me For years you've held my hand Such cold you give me through your fingers Whispering to me things no one else hears I trust you good friend When everyone's eyes are watching Yours are closed Let's pretend they aren't laughing You'll suggest Were they really I'll ask You are with me through the thick and the thin I am never alone because of you Does that make me happy No it makes me sad Good friend I thank you for your service Though I really do not You never let me have light Because you said it was evil Do I trust you with my life Always and never good friend Yet you have it I don't know why Good friend I've known you well And you see my fears You see my desire to end us To ripe you away Good friend you know my name I know yours like the taste of my blood It is sour Makes me crave pills I breathe you in And you're like the smoke of blue fires Harm me I breath because I'm living I wish to jump Because of your name Stop calling me I'm already looking down Such a good friend...
