About this listen

In this episode I perform a new original song called Old Town. It's part of a three-song acoustic EP called Holier than Water, which will be available everywhere June 17th. You can pre-save the songs here

The song is about the power of addiction to ruin meaningful relationships. I think it is very important to talk openly and vulnerably about our struggles with addictive behaviour. Doing so often builds relationships, and even communities. 

Here are the lyrics to the song:

As the pain eats the old side of town
I hold relief and push the plunger down;
Red door swinging open, ecstasy
A lifetime fleeing moments I can't be in

You remind me of a girl I once loved,
She tried to fill the hole in my arm;
Chasing what she pumped through my blood
Is all that I can do with my heart
You remind me of a girl
You remind me of a girl

I wish I could forget
Just how good it feels to give in;
I wish I could recall
The taste of broken glass, blood, and where you are

You remind me of a girl I once loved,
She tried to fill the hole in my arm;
Chasing what she pumped through my blood
Is all that I can do with my heart
You remind me of a girl
You remind me of a girl
You remind me of a girl
You remind me of that girl

Thank you for listening! Feel free to connect with me over IG. I love meeting new people and having meaningful conversations about life, love, art, or whatever you're interested in. 

All the best!
Mitch
