Lyrics
Drinking the sun down with somewhat strangers
In the new city I’m calling home
Baring my teeth like my life’s in danger
Simply destroying my cheek muscles
Apparently everyone’s going to Susie’s
I’m not exactly sure who that is
I was thinking she’s an old friend of Whitney’s
But she’s a bar not a person
I pull out my phone and pretend to occupy myself with something
Cast in the dulcet glow
I crawl into my palm
The table shakes beneath the gestures and laughter
As old friends reminisce and catch up
“Did you hear so and so had such and such happen?”
I nod along like I know them all
I think a bit about the so and so’s I know
And how vacant their names would be in here
Some of them would sound like complete fabrications
Who the hell names their kid something so weird
I use the restroom in only the most literal sense
I take my cleansing breath
In the filthiest room around

This isn’t boring whatsoever. It’s quite lovely.

[@jacksonhole4858]

This caught me off-guard -- 'have to admit it tugged on my emotions. I love the dreamy, poignant lyrics, and the arrangement -- the transition from verse to chorus is Emmy worthy. Erik's voice is so strong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Ashey814]

He tries to make a social interaction with new people, but it doesnt work out... So he just leaves. Just like the song leaves you hanging.... Hell yeah Erik. Your music has always been something to listen to, thank you for all the inspiration youve given myself and others!

[@PruneJuiceJude]

I always enjoy what you put out. This whole song is like an old friend to me in song form. it sounds like the earliest music (sleepless etc) and i’m here for the ride! Can’t wait to see you guys in LA

[@nathanwilliams3877]

Love it.

[@Molotov_Milkshake]

This is sublime. It reminds me in some ways of 'Vincent' by Don Maclean. Takes me back!

[@frankst5979]

Love this

[@randomgaming6808]

Awesome! This really is a breath taking song, such a mature sound. Reminds me of a zombies song

[@zachjohnston5948]

I feel like these guys are just hitting their stride and we are gonna get a badass album next year hopefully

Suzy’s not a person but a bar yea I enjoy this ear sounds

[@jeremaya2]

Not been a fan of their newer stuff but something about this single just feels right for me.

[@Evanthebat15]

Lol that cliff-hanger. Love the 90s chill vibes. Can't believe I haven't heard of this band before, they are sick❤

People love to shit on remo drives musical change. Like dude grow up you’re in your mid 20s crying about how an album that was written when they’re nearly 18-19. You’re crying because a grown adult doesn’t wanna release music you’re hung up on. I’ve been a fan of every era remo has journey through. GH is good there’s no doubt about it. But what about the stuff before? No one brings it up anymore because they accept the fact that remo drive aren’t those people no more. Like holy fuck grow your and get over it.

[@FreezeBlind]

The early music was hard to find until after gh. Many fans from gh didn’t even know about it. I don’t necessarily want the same sound, I just want something that is involving, interesting. Not much after gh was involving or interesting

[@korsbar1978]

Love it!

@damienbrown9250 I really Love Early Eyes' sound. I just downloaded "Figure Drawing" on Bandcamp (released Jan-24) and drummer was listed as Joey Hays???

[@cosmicthrillseekers]

@@jacksonhole4858 he got kicked out of early eyes (and his other band The Happy Children) for the exact same reason he got kicked out of remo drive, for being extremely difficult to work with

[@Karveyheitel]

Somebody please explain to me why this man kinda sounds like WEIRD AL?! That being said, you guys have come a long way since I last checked in with you. “Yer killin’ me” obviously

[@artvjon]

[@SoggySquidward]

Come on guys. Outside of the short guitar solo break, this is just boring.

[@BaronVonBielski]

I don’t find this boring at all, it’s quite lovely.

[@OfficialTomsSkujinsFanClub]

This is nice

Epitaph needs an epitaph

[@ahobisummer]

I love it, the music video is cool too

[@iSyf]

Admittedly, I am a pretty darn new Remo Drive fan, only having discovered their music through Spotify over a year ago. I also admit that I am not particularly familiar with the band, the lore behind it, nor the cause of such vitriol I've seen for their recent(-ish) releases. I just really like their music, both new and old! And this song right here is among my favourites they've made :)

[@apersonsinging]

im so happy remo drive is making new music! love the new stuff!!

[@RickshawWreck]

I umm really like these rock and roll sounds

[@launcealamp9758]

Is this about Ernest Vince Talamentez the third, Senior Pastor Ronald Moore, Zarina Barsh, and Jesse Ryan DiSimone? Lol so trippy these days 😂

[@dead_ass115]

Really giving Michelle by the beatles vibes

[@FreezeBlind]

Put it on 2x speed and imagine another guitar part and it sounds kinda like a older Remo song

[@Mattrattmattratt]

Bro I put it on 1.5 and it’s so much better holy shit 😭

[@therealdohos2607]

cant you release something new that makes me wanna smash a guitar through an amp ??

[@glo1164]

you get it

[@caughtnappin_675]

don’t you know? theyve stated they’re NEVER gonna make music like that again. they hate their old fans who don’t blindly accept their shitty billy joel/arctic monkey ripoff songs

[@Molotov_Milkshake]

They've already done it. Why don't you get your own identity/grow up/whatever?

[@ahobisummer]

You should listen to equipment, especially their ep madrigal but they definitely sounds like Remo drive first album
