Goodguy McBadguy "Catch Me @..." is some good got-dang low-key soul psyche that can ease you down and lift your spirits. It's a tonic for the aches you can't define. Lightly soulful and dreamy lilting vocals drift over clean guitars with the ever-satisfying combo of chorus, trem and reverb. BB put together something that means a lot to him and you can tell. It comes through clearly and fills the room with a positive vibe, and a reminder to slow down, be. Favorite track: HSE.

TGV 03:48
i call them years they're more like minutes now facing the sky i'm laying on the ground i hear your voice come crying out i was suppose to see you think i'm dying now as poor as they were they were never that bad not half bad moment's pass as i wave them along. looking back i wont be here long i cant sit still. i cant go back. i try not to move but time's creeping passed so hold me close and dont let go. move your hands backwards real slow it's slipping away taking it's time but it's taking too long just another day but how do i know if i'm spending it wrong i'm only here to swing and sway i wont stay long moment's pass as i wave them along. looking back i wont be here long i cant sit still. i cant go back. i try not to move but time's creeping passed so hold me close and dont let go. move your hands backwards real slow

about

this album is sort of a concept album about time. different times in my life and in other people's lives that i know. it's about how nothing will ever be the same as it is now. how there is no going back. that all we have is right here, right now. the local swing n sway is a fictional place where i can get away from time's never ending move forward. a place where i can be present or look back either fondly or not. a place where i can acknowledge that all i truly own are my memories.
