about

Think long and hard about this song for Evaluate Your Life Day.

lyrics

Mean red birds out on our sills,
They'll take our hearts with our two eyes.
This is how we starve a cold,
This is how we start a fire.

We ran out of our drinking games,
Bought a house that's filled with beige,
This is how two can remain--
Mainly, been working out this front door creak,
And fighting it with every key we own
So no one's home alone.

Plant a garden in the spring,
Work at it with every fiber.
This is how we both grow old,
Time will turn us into liars.

We ran out of our drinking games,
Bought a house that's filled with beige,
This is how two can remain--
Mainly, been perching on this front porch swing,
And pushing off with every creak we know
So no one's home alone.

This is how our story's sold,
These hardwood floors will give us miles and miles and miles.

from The Rough & Tumble's Holiday Awareness Campaign, track released October 19, 2013
The Rough & Tumble (Scott and Mallory) did things like sing, play guitar, and have a lot of feelings.

They brought in their pals, Jake Larson (drums sans shoes) and Mike Shannon (bass with face), to make a more well rounded and nearly professional tune.

Nolan Rossi at rf Studios was there for every step of the way, recording and producing like a champ.
