about

“Of Drawing” was recorded over two years in various bedrooms, rehearsal spaces, and studios around the world - with the latest recording in New York where the group finally found themselves living in the same city. Lyrically and emotively the song is about longing - an intense desire for a reality that just isn’t yours, while on a technical level it represents a transformation in songwriting that the group has been seeking since their inception.

Since the song’s first iteration in Brandon’s bedroom in Denver to the DUMBO recording studio the final vocals were tracked in, there was always a feeling of anticipation - a feeling of longing for something so tortuously close. A deep “drawing” towards the future (or the past), and the complete mania that accompanies a constant state of want for something better. That feeling drove the group forward in ways, and pulled them back in others - with the song being re-recorded and rewritten countless times. Working with co-producer Billy Pavone (St. Lucia, Barrie, Wet), they landed on a style of writing and creating music that they had been seeking since the group’s formation.

After two years of longing for their sound to be fully realized, “Of Drawing,” has become a yardstick for the distance their songwriting has come - as well as the distance they’ve come as people. With the song complete, Billy Pavone did the final mix and Joe LaPorta the master.

lyrics

Every moment I try to escape
Every horror that i couldn’t face
Can’t wait for the feeling to come back
Couldn’t wait for the feeling to come back

I see the future that we’ll never make
Every city that we’ll never take
Can’t wait for the feeling to come back
Couldn’t wait for the feeling to come back

And when you find the covers off your legs
My nails drip with saliva can’t behave
There’s still a sense of drawing
Still a scent about you
I might lie to have something to say

All of the hours I fit in a day
All of the moments I try to replace
Can’t wait for the feeling to come back
Couldn’t wait for the feeling to come back

Theres not a second I’m sorry to waste
All of the nights that turned into days
Can’t wait for the feeling to come back
Couldn’t wait for the feeling to come back

And when you find the covers off your legs
My nails drip with saliva cant behave
And when you find the covers off your legs
My nails drip with saliva cant behave

Theres still a sense of drawing
Still a scent about you
I might lie to have something to say
Theres still a sense of drawing
Still a scent about you
I might lie to have something to say
