The Optimists – Days Gone By
These are the nights to recollect
At the tip of September
Running right down to the tip of the road
Falling over myself tripping over my toes
And I stroll alone
To get again house
And the times passed by
We’ll be forgotten by the tip of the night time

“The monitor lyrically got here to be once we had been all experiencing nights out the place the whole lot would kick off, fights, drama, and this was taking place in late September of 2021. Very rapidly Bolton began taking part in this groove which was the intro, and Jacob in a short time got here up with the drums and Aaron together with his guitar riffs.
It all got here collectively fairly rapidly, the one half that took a while was the vocal melodies as we went by way of fairly just a few concepts for them.”
