about
Written by Owen Ashworth
lyrics
woke up with fingers crossed
in a boy’s bed with your pants off
after polite declines of coffee & toast
walked home itching in last night’s clothes
past the Phone Booth & the Beauty Bar
the broken windows of your neighbors’ cars
through the backdoor to a message from Sis
asking who was your New Year’s kiss
took the afternoon to piece it all
plus a half a dozen phone calls
crashed a party with Larissa & Chris
in pursuit of a New Year’s kiss
not the way that you’d imagined it
on a balcony with champagne lips
but in a pantry against the pancake mix
you had your New Year’s kiss
in a boy’s bed with your pants off
after polite declines of coffee & toast
walked home itching in last night’s clothes
past the Phone Booth & the Beauty Bar
the broken windows of your neighbors’ cars
through the backdoor to a message from Sis
asking who was your New Year’s kiss
took the afternoon to piece it all
plus a half a dozen phone calls
crashed a party with Larissa & Chris
in pursuit of a New Year’s kiss
not the way that you’d imagined it
on a balcony with champagne lips
but in a pantry against the pancake mix
you had your New Year’s kiss

Animal Companionship

This song was a comfort to me in the days/weeks/months after losing my cat Max, after 19 years together, in June 2024. The song isn't about the same situation, but the ache of loss and the bittersweet pang of remembrance running through this song absolutely resonated for me anyway.

Beautiful songwriting, less is so much more. I don't know how someone could make a record so catchy while also being heartbreaking in a fun way.
