French Cassettes - Baseball Bat (Official Music Video)

Listen to "Baseball Bat" by French Cassettes
“This song was unusual when it comes to how we typically write. Mackenzie and I met up at the studio and there was a general sense of being burnt out on the songs we’d been working on, so I was happy when he said he had a dream the night before and wrote a song in it. - As he demoed it out, I pressed the record and just happily listened. I had no idea what I was going to sing about for a good while, then the first line about a baseball bat came out. The lyrics are about a strange exchange with a friend and the rest describes how I feel toward the friends I’ve kept. Somebody told me recently my lyrics can sound encrypted so this was my best attempt at writing on the nose."

Lyrics
I bought every word when you told me that
But anything’s convincing with a baseball bat
I was on a roll
I was useless
But I always came home before the news did
Did I think of you then, no
Do I think of you now
Yeah, at least I hope so
It’s hard enough figuring out where this place is
So why the long lines and why the long faces
I know you were let down by my wording
I felt sorry-“Hey now, don’t say for me”
Blue green sunbeam
Fade out
Now that’s something
They don’t know how they sound when they’re joking
I didn’t try to stay the same
I wore you out
I changed my name yes
You are a soft drum in my chest
You fill my lungs
You fit me best
I know you were let down by my wording
I felt sorry-“Hey now, don’t say for me”
Blue green sunbeam
Fade out
Now that’s something
They don’t know how they sound when they’re joking
