About the track

Edvards: I've always wanted to connect through Radio Free Fedi BUT,...There are too many different ways to connect with people. I LOVE the connections BUT have trouble with all the time managing more profiles. I just want to create - my music - someone else's music - collaborations... if I'm creating, I'm happy. What we did came natural and I hope there will be more.

Matt: Edvards playing on this marks my first time playing with a human drummer in nearly 30 years, and I couldn't be happier. His drumming and bass playing bring a pulse to the proceedings that no plugin could ever have provided. It's an absolute joy to collaborate with likeminded musicians.

Lyrics

Behind the farmhouse
A gravel trail with many curves
If my memory serves
Out to the woodland
Broken glass and handlebars
And some parts of cars
It seems a dream to me

Pockets of pellets
And bb guns were in our hands
As we roamed the land
Poor little robin
Singing songs up in a tree
Dropped me to my knee
I got a scope on you

The things you do when you are young and dumb
The things you wish weren't true
Can take forever to overcome
They sure get their hooks in you

What's there to figure?
I pulled the trigger with a yell
And that robin fell
Cheers and high fives
Feted like a millionaire
Left it lying there
It shames me to my soul

The things we do when we are young and dumb
The things we wish weren't true
Can take forever to overcome
They sure get their hooks in you
