Despite my best interests I will likely be an Emo Kid for the rest of my life, and this song feels like an anthem in earnest pursuit of that ideal.
This track comes from lasts yearâs â152â, the proper album since their genuinely solid 2016 album Tidal Wave (although throughout the past few years theyâve done an excellent job pushing out 20 year anniversary collections and unearthing demos to really accentuate how fucking old weâve all gotten). With that in mind, this track really hones in on this concept of aging â hopefully gracefully â while holding onto whatever spark in your life that keeps you going. The production sounds tight and anthemic on a level not quite like the noise and angst of their old songs but hey, thatâs what two decades does to a mf.
As i stumble into my 30s and perpetually see the sentiment that anyone born before 1995 should start collecting Social Security, I cannot help but resonate with this song. the subtle contrast between Lazarraâs pronunciation of âSâoldâ really drives this home; we refuse to admit it but we really do discard the Old for the New. Itâs one of their simpler choruses, yet it says so much as the phrase shifts its context with each repetition of the phrase. it feels honest about the passage of time yet optimistic about how that shouldnât keep you from what makes you happy. I canât help but sing this from the top of my lungs on every listen, even as i feel my body slowly become brittle and fatigued. But Iâll still sing.
After all, Weâre gonna get so old, either way.

I love this song sm. Rock n roll love confession. A classic for me. Thereâs never a lull, with the timing of the back up vocals and guitar licks and the lyrics feel so pronounced theyâre unavoidable. No wonder he inspired Elliot Smith. Feels like a 70âs summer.

đWhen the bar or venue or whatever is underground and you have to descend into the place because you can say some shit like âWe are entering the seedy underbelly of this wicked cityâ âYou know,â *cig drag* âcrime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.â
And then your friends can be like âViv, you canât smoke inside Dude also where the fuck did you find a pipe and a fedora What are you even sayingâ Giving you the opportunity to respond with a
âBeat it toots, youâre too pretty for these streets anyhowâ
Then you remember your friend already offered to pay for the Uber XL home and you have like 11 bucks so you drop the bit but the sentiment is still there below the surface
