"we played the chords we fed the wolves"
I don't know much about sweater boy, the musical project of 22 year old dave except that dave does not like to use capital letters which is ok by me. In my mind, that means that he doesn't follow rules and not following rules is a good characteristic for an artist to have. I don't do well with rules either. The track boys moves at a nice comfortable clip and just kind of chills waiting for the cool harmonies and eruptive down beats that dave throws down. I like the simplicity and absolute dreamy melodies that soar as well as the sadness and jubilation that bubbles up in unexpected ways. Cool, dreamy, tender, conflicted sounds of youth.
This song was a result of a stream of consciousness. I was driving to go hangout with my crush at the time, and they bailed on me so they could hangout with somebody else instead (who they ended up dating). I was sad & upset about that, so I went back home and wrote this song instead. I wrote it about 1 and a half years ago; it's the song that started 'sweater boy.' - dave
