this sun-tinged collaboration is almost too much for my love of nostalgic, wistful-happy awesome. 

getting through the rather dismal first verse of this track is worth it for the rest.

kind of like making it through the week to get to, well, the weekend. 

fitting.

this is a banger. no, it’s a banger that just took a little bit of ambien. or maybe it’s just a banger that’s considering taking a little bit of ambien - fast moving but not really necessarily moving anywhere fast. 

regardless, it’s rad.
