This player (SoundCloud) didn’t survive.
I grew up with an irrational sense of doom. If there was any generation that could be fucked, I was sure mine would be it. The lyrics in "All Die Young" reflect that need to not see the world or ourselves go to shit, but Smith Westerns pairs them with music that echoes the hopes of living forever with a beer in your hand and a song in your heart. Actually, both singles I've heard off their upcoming sophomore release, Dye It Blonde, has had that emotive yet carefree gesture of enjoying the time you have and who you have with you. And why shouldn't you? Especially with some music to remind you coming out January 18.
