Most of the songs we’ve shared thus far have some age on them. This one, however, is not only a change of pace – how about something kind bright and peppy for a change? — but it’s also relatively fresh. Maybe three months old? A newborn in our bag of tricks. And I say ‘we’ because Russell returns on this one to help create a fun summer jammer. Enjoy!

PS: We should mention we take requests, so let us know if there’s a vibe/style/motif you’d like to hear us try on. Odds are we can give it a good shot.

WKF (Wrong Kinda Friends)

Words by Nick Ostdick

Music by Nick Ostdick and Russell Savage

When the sugar is gone and we’ve got nothing to lose

We’ll carry on in our own kind of blues

Oh, don’t pretend

At the end of the end

We break, we don’t bend

We’re the wrong kinda friends

When the sugar is gone, I’ll hum a tune for you

Bury it down just like a bruise can do

Oh, don’t pretend

At the end of the end

We break, we don’t bend

We’re the wrong kinda friends

All this time we’ve been talking on the phone

I’m out here in the yard all alone

Oh the power of writing love into stone

When the sugar is gone and we’ve got nothing to lose

There’ll be no tears to cry, there’ll be no path to choose

Oh, don’t pretend

That this is the end

We break, we don’t bend

We’re the wrong kinda friends

Oh ho

This is the end

We break, we don’t bend

We’re the wrong kinda friends
