"At the end of 2020 I was living with my partner Larissa in an apartment on the North side of Chicago. I was staying up until 5 or 6 in the morning every night and experiencing some terrible panic attacks. One night Larissa woke up and sat with me on the couch, talking me through an especially awful attack. The living room was dark, there was a CTA station across the street that gave us a little bit of light at night. It was our first time living together, and a time I now look back on very fondly. Larissa would go to work and I would work from home all day in her former roommate's empty bedroom. At night, we would hang out until she went to bed, then I would put a horror movie on the TV and listen to music through headphones at the same time like a fucking weirdo. Despite the turmoil I was going through, I felt very comfortable in that place. So one day while Larissa was at work and I was alone in the apartment, I wrote a song about it." - Sam
lyrics
I've been working in the empty bedroom
Where your roommate used to live
You've been sleeping with the TV running
Waiting for me to come in
Before the panic's done
I come and wake you up
Another 5 AM
Losing my shit again
We've been living on cheap home dinners
And gas station food
Driving out to your parent's place
When your sister's out of school
I'll be your loaded gun
I'll be your only one
I'll be your shaking hand
I'll be your last dance
I'll be your setting sun
Learn how to cry for fun
A lover till the end
And be your closest friend
Another lipstick tube
That looks so good on you
Before the panic's done
Come on and wake me up
Another bloody kill
Set to a silent film
You turned the TV on
Now summer's come and gone
Got onto something new
To repossess your blues
Another panic song
And sirens all night long
Sludge, Shoegaze, Atmospheric, Heavy Metal, Alt-metal, you name it. This album has it all, and it is perfect. It came out during a rough time period of my life and others lives too. It's been the soundtrack for all of my pain. Thank you Hum tawper
