Good For It 02:09
Good For It I thought you said you were feeling better Come back to mine to mine I found a list of things I never told you I'm too dumb to cry to cry Could you ever see yourself without me? I hope you don't No Could I ever see myself without you? Of course I don't, still Oh, dude That's good news You said you're good for it What've you got to lose when you're good for it Good for it We'll put you up on the fireplace mantle We'll put you next to a Jesus Christ candle I need you more than anybody else can know but nobody else was asking me So come back, come back Could I ever see myself without you? Of course I don't No Could you ever see yourself without me? I hope you do, still Oh, dude That's good news You said you're good for it If only you knew it grew But you're good for it Good for it

about

Discussing the track, guitarist/vocalist Scott Huerta shares, “Good For It" started while I was living in a very quiet house that had a full drum kit in the living room. I’d only play it when all my roommates were gone. I had just bought this new mic and wanted to try it out, so I recorded a drum beat and added guitars and vocals as a sort of test song for the microphone. I was very upset because someone I knew was having a rough time. So while doing the scratch vocal with nonsense lyrics, I unintentionally started singing: "I thought you said you were feeling better…"

That first line cascaded the rest of the lyrics which I’m usually very slow with. The guys liked the demo and we made a new recording that we loved and planned to put on Rolodex, but ultimately didn't make it - but excited to share it as one of "b-sides". I laugh at myself when I listen to it because to me it’s a very angry song, but me angry is the kid swinging at air while you’re holding them back by their forehead.”

about

French Cassettes San Francisco, California

Harmony-driven power-pop from San Francisco.

The quartet’s new LP, Rolodex, is hook- filled and rooted in pop, layered with intricate vocal harmonies and counter-harmonies, inventive percussion, and every shade of clean and fuzzy guitars stacked up like an orchestra.

These uncommonly majestic, esoteric pop forms serve as the perfect delivery service for Huerta’s playful and verbose lyrics.
