about

The milestones we were told would mark our arrival to adulthood - owning a house, having kids, retiring - are inconceivable for much of our generation. Our vocal duet cover of Beck's “The Golden Age'' is a steady companion to breezy daydreams & moonlit rides, offering permission to escape the pursuit of an impossible dream in impossible times and a reminder that it’s ok to not be ok. In this day and age, that's the closest thing to normalcy some of us have.

lyrics

Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
These days I barely get by
I don't even try
It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here they're far and few
And the sun don't shine
Even when its day
You gotta drive all night
Just to feel like you're ok
These days I barely get by
I don't even try
