This is lovely.

(I think I would have taken a little less of this hiss that I don't know where is from, but who cares about me, the signing, chord progression, super pleasant to listen to!)

Yeah, especially on those weekly beats recording, I just go for it, edit some of the mistakes and live with all the imperfections.

The 4-track days were the best.  I remember how fun it was just to make sounds and have no expectation of perfection or that anyone would even listen to it or like it.  This has a very pleasant comfy and homey vibe.  It's nice to just hear some guitar strumming and a lovely little gentle melody.

Sentimental and raw... but powerful! Or maybe: powerful *because* it's so raw?

You and Emily are quite special here, a space dominated by electronic music. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed this a lot!

Oh josh, you have given the world the biggest hug with this song! I am crying. I feel so alive when I listen to your and em’s music.

always such heartfelt lyrics that find a way to connect with the listener.  Love the bouncy sorta playful rhythm of the bass n geetar.  I def miss the 4trk days.  Mine got sent to the dumpster in "well it can't fit in the car that's where the cats are going!-move"  But def sometimes less is more and just getting that flow down is all that's needed.  Oh and I love how you're using the Casio.  I wouldn't have a clue where it was coming from.  It sounds great!  You guys are a continuing inspiration tanks

ahhhh this is so effing goood! Tasteful key melody in the background. Love how the equally tasteful electric guitar comes in around 1:00. Favorited!!

Wonderful vibe... like, stopped me in my tracks just to sit pie eyed just listening.  Just beautiful.

I love noise in recordings and I especially love hearing it right at the start of a track, before any actual music has played. Noise is imperfection and leading with imperfection feels vulnerable and intimate and quintessentially human.

Wonderful as always, friends. Looking forward to next week.

Lovely track, thank you for making and sharing this! Napear said it perfectly, just had to sit and listen and smile. Good feelz! So agree with just capturing in whatever way and just having fun. Perfection is not for every day, and gets in the way sometime. I love the dramatic lighting in the video.

“...One can't stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?”

thank you much!

much obliged! and yeah, i miss the simplicity of the 4-track (and not staring at a damn screen all the time) but i do not miss lost or gobbled cassette tapes 

very kind of you, rplktr 

oh buddy 

thank you so much, Tone! yeah, i really like layering 2 different Casio tones playing the same part and then adding some processing. i think this was "piano" and "vibraphone" with some tape delay and plate reverb and panning. 

thank you! that guitar part felt really good to play

oh wow, that is so great 

i like how you put that. definitely been pushing myself to be more vulnerable. appreciate you taking the time to listen!

thanks so much, and thank you for watching the video too!
