about

Recorded in Shoal Creek, which had significantly more water in it at this point, Pease Park, Austin TX. Vocals were recorded in the large staircases of the Castilian Dorm. The piano was recorded in the Castilian lobby. "Oooo"'s and (very mixed down) electric guitar were recorded in the bathroom of my parent's house in Boston MA.
Unlike the other songs, this was written entirely in one sitting, and in not much more than one hour. It came out as a complete song.

lyrics

I never thought a moment could be enjoyed for so long
But sometimes it's pleasant to be totally wrong
And I know it must end with a bang or a hiss
My hands on your hips
Life is hide and seek happiness

We soak it up while we can
We soak it up while we can

I remember your face on that bright afternoon
We hurried outside cause your mom was coming home soon
And I remember you said
"When I'm too old to run,
I hope I still see you as you appear in the sun"

Well we soak it up while we can
We soak it up while we can

I think it was December when I first fell in love
The world was a puzzle that was easy to solve
Cause she was all of the pieces
And her presence was a reservoir
And I'd been in the desert for as long as I care to remember

We soak it up while we can
We soak it up while we can
We soak it up while we can
We soak it up while we can

Her music always has invoked emotion in me and these earlier tracks are no exception! Sunset and we’re falling are contenders for some of my absolute favorite ILWAG tracks but as always, every piece in this collection has a lil bit of something special :). So glad I stumbled upon this after being a fan for years. quinnkiera11
