Midnight To Twelve Week: Day 2 "Future" |
"Future" is the only track on the disc that isn't named after a lyric in the song. We have been touring now for almost 4 years and everyday it blows my mind that it's been that long...Crazy! Anyway back in the day when we were 5 guys in a garage playing our hearts out every Tuesday and Thursday in Whittier, CA getting ready for what was hopefully to come. I wrote the lyrics from a place of wonder and curiosity of what it's gonna be like to be gone for months at a time and not be able to see my family and friends on a daily basis. So I called it "Future" because hopefully that is where we were headed and hear we are, which is very cool by the way.
Hear what it's all about, learn more about the band and the CD, plus find out where you can see them live. It's all right
