#never get back

'There are some things that once you've lost, you never get back. Innocence is one. Love is another. I guess childhood is a third.'

I had some fucked up dreams, the other night. The kind we’re you’re the star of some action film, only, it doesn’t feel like a fucking action film—it feels too real. 

I think you’ve been having trouble staying in-the-moment. Wouldn’t you agree?  This is happening it to you because you do not how to appreciate the now. It’s happening because your mind can’t sit down for one second just to see if it can catch the Earth spinning. 

Have you ever done that? Tried to see if you can catch the Earth’s rotation by staring into the stars, at night? 

You and I couldn’t be anymore different. Or maybe it’s just that you stopped daydreaming and fantasizing after a couple of heartbreaks, and I just wandered off aimlessly into them, after each one of my own (heartbreaks).

I’ve got the music bug again, and I’ve heard some new sounds from the kind of art that I have always gravitated to, in artists that I want to work with. I’m ready. 

Are you ready?

Aggression was only a means of survival, once. Aggression is an unnecessary, overplayed and  ignorant way of life, now. One that I have always strived to never get back to.

If there was one word I could use to describe Never Get Back, it would be tender. Rumbling out the gates with a Black Keys-esque single, the release twists to reveal unspoken desires, then nears catharsis by the end. His vocals are deep like Justin Vernon’s, where some moments even sound like outtakes from For Emma. A steel guitar slides in at pivotal moments on tracks like “Lay It On the Line” and the title track as well, establishing a folk rock energy that blossoms into something truly heartfelt.
