    For you again was recorded in four days, in a living room in Minneapolis. We recorded it to tape with very few overdubs. The main vocals are recorded live, we didn’t splice any tracks so you’ll hear squeaking floorboards, chairs adjusting, the faint sound of a jet overhead, or headphone cords tapping against the back of guitars. These live moments that are captured on tape play an important role in capturing the essence of the energy in the room at the time we recorded. It’s my favorite way to record. Playing a song until you discover the heart of it, and then letting go just enough to let the song speak for itself. I feel that everything comes alive in that moment. At the end of the keeper take, as you take your headphones off, everyone looks around the room locking eyes, knowing that we had discovered the true meaning of that song and just laid it down on tape to share with whoever is willing to listen. It’s a truly magical moment. There's something special about going on a journey with other people, starting with the sketches of a song and letting the true meaning guide you to a finished product. There’s something very special and timeless in that.

about

The song Mrs. Bluebird takes a darker turn and peels back some of the many layers of mental illness and depression that have plagued countless families as well as my own. The disease can impact generation after generation, and my hope is to limit its grasp for my own children as much as I can while also giving them the tools to work through the pain. I think the beauty of this song is that the low key melodic arrangement alleviates the harshness of its painful content.

lyrics

These bars will never make you free / but you’re safer now that you're with me
Might not know it, but I can show you how even captives can feel free
Some things can come into your life, Slow enough to pass you by
But before you know it, there's nothing growing, and your trapped by the winter sky

Chorus

Mrs. bluebird
Mrs bluebird
Mrs Bluebird you're so beautiful
I just wanted you to know, It's not safe out there no more
and I can't let you go / outside these doors


Verse

There's a side of me that you can't see Knowing you're broken doesn't make you free
And sharing the pain with a cross and a name
Hurts me more that you can see

Nothing you could ever do Makes you deserve to hear the truth
There's poison air in the atmosphere
and I Wouldn’t wish for that on you
