  • This song was inspired, written and recorded in quarantine. I wrote it with Jordy Searcy sending voice memos back and forth the day after I flew home from the 'Old Friends Acoustic Tour' being cancelled. A couple weeks ago I decided to record it. John Fields and I recorded the parts at our houses and sent files back and forth until it was finished. Aaron Sterling added just the right amount of spice. Justin Kila brought the best John Hughes movie poster that never existed to life and Eric Michael Savage took the picture of me that ended up on the cover. I hope listening to it brings you as much joy as making it brought me.
    Lyrics:
    If there was anyone I'd want to spend about 100 days with,
    layin' in the yard, staring up at stars wondering where all the planes went...
    It would be you.
    Only you.
    We might not have forever.
    No time for taking chances.
    It would be you,
    and always you.
    And when the lights go out, we'll just keep on dancing in the dark.
    'Cause if the world has got to end, you might as well just end up in my arms.
    In my arms.
    (ooh ooh)
    We'll leave on the news until the broadcast stops broadcastin'.
    Just making drinks instead of plans, while the record player's blastin'.
    (I sing) It would be you,
    and only you.
    We might not have forever.
    No time for taking chances.
    It would be you,
    and always you.
    And when the lights go out, we'll just keep on dancing in the dark.
    'Cause if the world has got to end, you might as well just end up in my arms.
    If the sky turns black, if the markets crash,
    you should check your mom's house, then you should come back.
    'Cause when it all goes down, I want you by my side.
    We could stay up 'til the last sunrise.
    We could stay up until the last sunrise.
    It would be you,
    and only you.
    We might not have forever.
    No time for taking chances.
    It would be you,
    and always you.
    And when the lights go out, we can keep on dancing in the dark.
    In the dark.
    In the dark.
    It would be you 'til the end of the world.
    'Til the end of the world. (Yeah)
    'Cause if the world has got to end, you might as well just end up...
    in my arms.

      I am sitting here in 2023…my family broke up over the quarantine. This song, however, was a moment of connection. Listening now brings some sadness for that loss…but also happiness from the memory that we were connected in this moment to all of you. I have never felt so close to my fellow man, ironically. Love you all and do still love this song

One of my absolute fave songs of yours is THE MEN THAT DRIVE ME PLACES.
