about

“In The Comedown” was written in rural Maine. We were drifting in the middle of a lake during a June sunset and it looked like dusk was showing every color in the visible light spectrum. It made us want to write about communal transcendence, the calming power of the water, and the challenge of staying fully present in any given moment. Lyrically, “In The Comedown” is inspired by the pantoum, a poetic form that repeats and recycles lines to continuously create new meaning out of familiar phrases.

“Are we better at a distance?” is the central question at the heart of “In The Comedown.” When we originally wrote this song, the word “distance” referred to both the emotional and physical space between us as bandmates and companions. However, this question morphed into a much heavier dilemma as the pandemic unfolded. In the context of social distancing, isolation, and quarantine, the word “distance” took on a grim new meaning.

lyrics

In the comedown of the mission
In the middle inconsistent
Are we better at a distance?

Floating out with no resistance
Every color in existence
Can we sit inside an instant?

When we drifted out too far
Put a new fear in your heart
I wished we could all restart

Floating out with no resistance
Every color in existence
Locks into a perfect system

In the comedown inconsistent
Can we sit inside an instant?
Are we better at a distance?

When we looked back to prepare
For a journey back there
We had not gone anywhere

As the day and night are twisting
Locked into a perfect system
In the comedown of the mission

Floating out with no resistance
Every color in existence
Can we sit inside an instant?

In the middle inconsistent
In the comedown of the mission
Are we better at a distance?

Are we better at a distance?
Are we better at a distance?
Are we better at a distance?
