This one goes out to everyone at the Taj Tuesdays open mic. I take fantastically little credit for it, but together everyone achieves more, right? Bookending the story with the first verse of Animal Collective’s My Girls, this “song” takes the best of the choruses (applicable to the “relationship” theme we’re working with) that came out of that room this year and ends up telling a story. I highly recommend you listen to all the songs individually (here would be a good place to start), as there’s plenty more going on here than just the choruses, but suffice it to say I’m honored to be surrounded by such talent every Tuesday. Cheers you beautiful Taj Tuesdays people, and here’s to another year of writing great songs.
