about

Modern campfire music that functions best as a reminder to cut yourself some slack. Consisting of one powerful verse and a lush arrangement of acoustic guitar, piano and a simple 808 beat, Either Way drives home the notion that there is only so much that we can control. Recorded segments of water from northern Michigan’s Au Sable River, where the band recorded the EP, are placed throughout the track to highlight the importance of going with the flow.

lyrics

A wise man said you can’t predict the weather

We could struggle

Let’s just do it together

Life is velvet and it’s tougher than leather

But all materials aside you know it’s simply whatever

We

Decide

How we treat the bumpiest rides

How you look me in the eyes at the loveliest times

No, really

How come I’m the luckiest guy

That’s how I feel when we moving

I can’t wait to arrive

But

Forget the BuzzFeed news and open letters to

All the twenty-somethings titled How To Be a Better You

Listen

You need something for which you’re better suit

Let’s road-trip to a mind state with a better view

Don’t let the stakes marinate in your thoughts

Or you’ll be

Out of fuel ‘cause over thinking exhausts

You never

Truly feel like you really evolved

So when you hear the call

Answer that and proceed to talk

Like

Hello

Now theres a voice on the line

Could be your mother’s, brother’s, sister’s, cousin’s

Maybe it’s mine

Maybe it’s right

But listen maybe it’s wrong

But facing something is better than putting your face in your palm

There’s not an outcome you couldn’t come out from

We sit and wonder how come it still hasn’t happened yet

Why’s it feel like we’re swimming steel

What’s the deal with satisfaction and why we don’t have it yet

I’ve been the worst at times

I’ve been the greatest

I’ve lost the game at times

At least I played it

I’ve lost the bet but don’t regret that I made it

So when it’s going downhill

You know at least I’m gon’ skate it

Hah

Right

Coasting

(Uh)


Sometimes I’m high

Sometimes I’m low

Take the lead

Or follow

But I’ll survive

You knew I would

Win or lose

Either way, I’m good

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Either way, I’m good

Sometimes I’m high

Sometimes I’m low

Take the lead

Or follow

But I’ll survive

You knew I would

Win or lose

Either way, I’m good
