This is a separate release of the E&PAB! side of the "Most of the Time, We Have Fun!" collab album. I meant to do this earlier, but I've been too lazy to.

Elisia Song & Gannon Earhart (E&PAB!): Recording/Mixing/Guitars/Bass/Drums/Synths/Keys/Saxophone/Lyrics/Vocals/

Cole Bruckner for piano on track 3.

Jasper Burik for saxophone on tracks 1, 3, and 4.

All tracks were written, recorded, and mixed in Elisia's heater of a room by a sweaty Elisia, probably early in the morning or late at night, depending on your perspective. Bass guitar for tracks 1, 2, and 4 were done by Gannon on a hot summer day in Elisia's dirty room. Sorry Gannon!

FEELIN' PRETTY PUNK'D:

I recently got a new acoustic guitar to replace my shit Target brand one that I appropriately named Brownsound. I wanted to record something to see what it would sound like with the new microphone that I also got to replace my phone so I wrote this song and figured that I would replace it with electric guitars if I didn't like the sound. I really liked it, though, so I decided to keep it and just add in the bass and piano. It's also really weird to write songs saying what you feel exactly in scenarios that technically haven't happened yet and did happen at the same time. I don't know, maybe I'm getting too into my own head.

--------------------------------------------------------

NO CHILL:

Remember when I said that I was going to try to not be so personal in my songwriting? Yeah, fuck that. It's the only way that I can really write anything, to be honest. Why try and limit myself? Anyways, this song was really hard to write lyrically and musically cause I didn't really start with a solid idea and it went through a lot of changes before ending up like this. I like it a lot, though.

--------------------------------------------------------

FIND UR WILL 2 LIVE BB!:

This one is one of those songs where I didn't really put much thought into while I was writing it, but it's also one of those where came pretty quickly. The opening lyrics aren't really relevant to the meaning of the song, in my opinion, but I liked it enough to keep it. Or maybe I forgot to change it, who knows. Anyways, this song is pretty personal to me, especially the ending. It's a pretty good one, though, so. Yippie.

"I KNOW WHAT REAL MUSIC IS!!!!!!!":

This song was supposed to be on "Everyone's Having Fun!", but I ended up not finishing it for some reason. It was originally called "The Valley Was A Mistake" and I only had the instrumentals done. I originally intended to make the song about...I don't know, I think it was supposed to be about how much I hate the valley? From what I gather from it on the little times I went there, it seems like all the kids and teens my age are stuck up and act all high and mighty. Of course, it's not about that anymore, but I changed the name to this for some reason I can't remember. Anyways, I came across it again one night and decided that I liked it enough to put it on this split, so here it is. In all of it's ska punk glory!

--------------------------------------------------------

I ORIGINALLY WASN'T GOING TO WRITE THIS SONG:

Look at that! Another hardcore song! Like the title says, I originally wasn't going to write this song for this split, but after knocking the idea of it around enough, I decided "FUCK IT!" and started to write it at 1 o'clock in the morning. This songs about the rather questionable things that our president is doing currently and the more alarming lengths that his supporters are going through to defend the guy's outrageous acts. The final decision to write this song was when I was in the bathroom looking on Instagram and decided to check a friends post out. The lyrics in the first verse are somewhat based around his caption, too, just loosely changed around for the sake of flow. Also, it's pretty easy to tell that one part of the song is an idea ripped straight from Bomb the Music Industry!'s "Showerbeers!"

--------------------------------------------------------

SEVEN CHEERS FOR THE FOLKS IN THE BACK:

I tried again to write a happy song in which I kinda failed and succeeded in doing. It's about being okay having your life ending up the way you didn't imagine it ending up, I guess. I've been trying to not freak out so much about my own future lately and I've been trying to take life in strides, something that is very hard to do when you have depression and anxiety. Also, this song is the very few on my side of split where I didn't write it late in the night or early in the morning. But I really like. I like how it sounds.

KEEP LIVING! KEEP! LIVING!:

I got introduced to a new band by one of my friends called Terror Pigeon! and I got (and still am) REALLY into them. So, I guess this song is inspired by them, it's kind of a snowday! rip off, but I think it's different enough. I tried to write about something a bit lightweight and nonheavy, but some of my usual shit leaked into the meaning of it all. That your life is inevitably going to end some day, but that it'll all be fine as long as you have your loved ones. So, yeah, not completely depressing.

I wrote this song the day after I got extremely shitfaced with all my friends and cried for 3 hours, explaining to them how much I love them. So, when I went home the next morning, I found it fitting to make the lyrics of this song about that. I'm still quite embarrassed about it. When they told what I said and did, I got pretty flustered. I'm never really that open with anyone. Goes to show the power of alcohol!
