    Lyrics: "Awkward Conversations"
    Awkward situations followed by awkward hugs
    And these bullshit conversations take what little air is left inside my
    Nothing but I'm writing like I've had too much to drink
    Letting go of what we lost
    Come to terms of how you think of me
    And I love what you've done, you cut all ties
    You turned and run
    You build me up, you take your fall
    You led us straight into a wall
    And I'll say, "I personally think it's too cold to have the windows open,
    but you want to smoke your menthol cigarettes."
    You might be leading now but there is no way you could ever win
    When you have absolutely no control over any of the situations
    That you put yourself in
    And I wish I could pretend to be
    All of the things you think you see in me
    But I am not that guy, that guy just left
    He had his collar up and there was smoke on his breath
    And we have these parties for the way it was
    But once the booze is gone, is it worth the buzz?
    Because I've got some problems and I'm talking loud
    And all your friends are here so word will get out that
    I personally think it's too cold to have the window open
    But you want to smoke your menthol cigarettes
    And I personally think it's too cold to have the window open
    But you want to smoke your menthol cigarettes.

    “All your friends are here and word will get out that I personally think it’s to cold to have the window open but you wanna smoke your menthol cigarettes” I like how it’s that he realises people will hear his actual issues so he switches it to something minor.

    Brian is honestly a very average singer, but that's part of the charm of this genre as a whole. The raw garage band feel is what made me love it, and that's why I continue to come back. You won't find that feel in many other genres, besides maybe metal which is basically the polar opposite of this.

      Too many people are missing that point. Producers in particular. The level of execution is one of the most significant elements of how music gets perceived. Not every artist is suited to sound like they never make mistakes. Mistakes are what make it honest and human. Personally, I want my music to sound real because I want people to hear the truth in it. How can you expect people to believe you or relate if subconsciously they know it's been cleansed of all its humanity? The Front Bottoms are so real and so unassuming. They wreak of honesty and I love it.
