about

Merry Christmas!

On Tuesday, Devendra Banhart asked me to play a few songs that night at a star studded charity show at the Lodge Room here in Los Angeles. I asked Ellie to join me to sing some of our heartbreakers. But when i picked up the guitar to practice, this funny, sad, but NON AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL song started coming to me.
We played a rough version of it that night, and the next day I did an instagram live and played some of it. Will Maxwell, who works at this great studio in Glendale called Silent Zoo was watching and reached out about working on the track with me. He even sent me a demo of what he was thinking it could sound like. I loved it. The studio wasn't available so will came over Thursday night and we bashed it out in my garage, just the two of us. A really fun way to end the year!

lyrics

I hear you’re back
Back for the holidays
Staying at your dads
I wanna see you
It’s been too long
But I don’t know if I can

I’m on cold medicine
I’m on cold medicine
I’m feeling half alive
I’m cold medicine medicine
I’m on cold medicine
And I don’t think I should drive

I’m in bed
Watching a movie
One i’ve seen before
Would you want to
Keep me company
And on your way stop by the store

Cuz i’m out of cold medicine
I’m out of cold medicine
I drank the bottle dry
I need cold medicine
Sweet cold medicine
We can split it and both get high

Do you remember, us on Christmas Eve
When we were Seventeen
The Robitussan stained our lips green
I took you home and your dad said where you been
I looked him in the eye and
Said we’d been Carolin…

But i think he knew

We were on cold medicine
Oh cold medicine
The only thing that gets me through
I need cold medicine
I want cold medicine
About as much as I once wanted you
