about
This song was first written and recorded back in Rochester, NY in April 2017 and, having not released any music in around 3 years, I recently quit life and committed to music full time in order to begin finishing and releasing the roughly 200 songs I have to get through. And this track felt like the perfect first song for trunkweed to release after an extended hiatus because it's a track that transports you back to the roots of where this project began, in sound, in style, and in feeling, I felt that this song demonstrated a sort of nostalgia and similarity to the origins of "Days of Haze". And so, I re-recorded it over the last month in my home studio, which has become a monster of its own, allowing me tools and capabilities I could've never before dreamed of.
This song is about that longing for something better that we all feel constantly, whether it's the romantic happy ever after, the hope that there must be something bigger and better than this after this life or outside of this world, or just the never-ending daydream of an envisioned future life where you have found peace. I hope you find your peace.

This track will exist live on bandcamp here only for a few days after it's 4/20 release, just so you can have a chance to listen first, but then I will be hiding it until the "official" 5/11 release in order to try and build hype up/force streams over to the evil spotify so that i can attempt to battle them and the other streaming lords to hopefully push traffic and get placed into the evil algorithms of playlists and fan streams to exponentiate hype and all that ya feel?
SO, if you like this, please be sure to come back and be ready to help share to friends all over on Spotify or wherever on the official ~ 5/11 ~ release date to help us get this song BLASTING through the airwaves so that we can begin the long overdue chart climbing adventures of trunkweed! This is the first of a LONG, long, longggg list of songs, eps, and albums to come over the next several months so I hope you're ready :]

thanks for always being here and sticking around with us, I promise you that we will soon become your new old favorite band <3
lyrics
Another gorgeous day, watching from my window as time goes by.
Here I am inside, dreaming of a world where I can feel alive.
Thinking of my youth, of how I used to feel that endless magic truth.
Waiting for the day, when we can be together in some other life.
There is a place, in outer space, where all our dreams live on forever.
In the atmosphere, we all disappear into a world that's so much better.
Up above the sky, we are intertwined, aligned in harmony together.
Let's leave our pain behind, let our spirits lie, in existence happy ever after.
Daydream away, just know that there is pain awaiting your awake.
It's like a riptide wave, absorbing you until there is no escape.
Endless is the energy, is the energy, endless is the energy that will set you free.
Endless is the energy that will set us free.

we literally had these 5 songs on repeat for 2 weeks during our first tour - like the songs didn't stop playing - and that was a lot of driving.... trunkweed
