about

We recorded this in Denver with Patrick Meese & Mark Anderson. We almost didn’t do this one but Patrick softly convinced us. I love this song so I didn’t need much convincing I guess.

Lyrically it’s a stream of consciousness rumination on Reno, life, and solidity in one way or another. But I guess it’s really just about drinking too much just like all the other tunes I was writing at the time.

Used a space echo for the drums - thought that was a pretty slick move. Not much else to this one.

lyrics

I need a cold one
I need a great big bottle of wine
Seems like forever
Can feel a lot like forever every once in a while

It’s all in my shoulders
I carry silver in the small of my back
You’ll get a call when it’s over
Just walk down to the Truckee, Ivan try to relax

Hey hey
Bye bye
Hey hey
I’ll see you sometime

It doesn’t matter
If you’re still drinking
Or shrinking away
Put it all in blender
Remember everyone thinks about it more than they say

They say they’re good, they’re cool, they’re great
But me I’m down at the Nev and I can’t see straight
No matter the order
She’s got a kneecap that’s made out of quarters

I seen it, I mean it
I seen it, I mean it now now
I seen it, I mean it
I seen it, I mean it

Hey hey
Bye bye
Hey hey
I’ll see you sometime

It doesn’t matter
If you’re still drinking
Or shrinking away
Put it all in blender
Remember everyone thinks about it more than they say

They say they’re good, they’re cool, they’re great
But me I’m down at the Nev and I can’t see straight
No matter the order
She’s got a kneecap that’s made out of quarters

Hey hey
Bye bye
Hey hey
I’ll see you sometime

Hey hey
Bye bye
Hey hey
I’ll see you sometime

about

Spencer Kilpatrick Big Water, Utah

The Utah-based singer-songwriter has an amazing, even intoxicating handle on pitch-perfect period strut, and a smoky, emotion-damaged croon that accents and accentuates it perfectly. While his voice sounds like a cross-hatching of a bluesy John Mayer and Bill Withers, his solo work, which has dribbled out online in fervent spasms, has called to mind contemporaries like Amos Lee.” - Justin Vellucci ... more
