January Re-record: Ancient

This song was written for my friend Amanda; I believe I wrote a small EP of them to give to her for her birthday, possibly her 16th, but this was the only one I saved. The story in the first verse is true; for years she harbored guilt on account of some mild bullying she gave me in elementary school due to me dropping out of a “gifted student” program that I found excessively torturous. I did not retain her words at all, and was thoroughly confused when I received an anonymous apology note in middle school. By high school we were both in marching band, discussing the “Twilight” series while we waited for the third installment to drop, and developing a lifelong friendship. I’ll be seeing her and Degnan on Tuesday to catch up on “Severance”. No one has a beard yet.
Recording:
The first legitimate “4-track” recording.
1: Acoustic guitar
2-3: vocals
4: Electric guitar
Lyrics:
Do you remember the first time I forgot where we first met?
I don't remember so I'll have to go by what you say
we were on a bus and you called me a wimp and walked away
I quickly forgot that you existed and we met that day
Now we are ancient and our beards reach to the floor
'cept you don't have a beard because you are a woman
and I don't have a beard cause I'm too young to grow one
but your hair's long and so is mine so we shall have fun

The second half of this one really makes me smile. The thought of a kid talking to their friend about how "old" they've grown, only to realize they're not that old at all, has this silly quality to it. This song reminds me of when I was younger and frequently talked like that, good vibes :)

band + twilight.. is this a universal high school experience or what? recently rewatched twilight with friends and forgot how much i loveeee it despite its obvious flaws lol (jacob running off into the woods shirtless after every scene) are you team edward or team jacob?

Do you think you'd ever release the original versions of these songs bundled with the re-recordings? or are you sticking strictly with the re-recording uploads
