about

Like We Did Before was written at the beginning of April 2020 just as news was starting to leak that the Covid 19 pandemic might not be a quick fix and could continue for likely a year or more. In June, we played it as a band at a socially distanced rehearsal, and following that, i started to make a demo recording of it on my MacBookPro using Garageband. I sent guitar and vocal tracks to Danny and he cut the drum tracks at his studio. Josh and Mike came over to my house and we recorded bass and banjo on my side porch. I went to Cory's one day after work and recorded the keys. We recorded Mike's harmonies at his house and Johnny put the finishing touch on it, recording some sublime electric guitar parts at his house. This project was meant mostly as a demo, but thought it had a good feel, so we took it to Bruce's to see if he could mix it and make it sound presentable. We never had a bandcamp page before and thought this was a good way to bring this song to you. If you like it please consider downloading, sharing, or gifting it. Thank you!,

lyrics

stuck staring out the old screen door
i don't know about the world anymore
will they find a cure?
no one is for sure

my fire everybody knows
melody married to the words
harmony preferred
home and out of work

loaded up the van
went from town to town
never made it but
i know my way around 2x

run the boys back and forth to the school
in the summertime off to the pool
you'd have to be a fool
not to play it cool

why did things change so fast?
how long will all this last?
remembering the past
assembling the masses

see no worries
when you look me in the eye
and if you want to know
i can tell you why 2x

i can tell you why
and i ain't gonna lie
when everything is wrong
you always have a song to sing
and there are songs for everything

danger when you get too close
Siamese everywhere I go
quarantined at home
steady as she goes

when you lose it all
when there's nothing left
its impossible to
know what lies ahead

when you're face to face
lyin' on the floor
can you come back again
like you were before 2x

are we gonna sing a song like we did before
all summer long like we did before
like we did before
like we did before
find a way to be okay
hanging out like we did before
would you be down like we did before

like we did before
like we did before
