First Love

/

about

This is a song about a first love.

I remember driving in my friend and bandmate at the time, Jesse Padgett's old 70s F150, on our way to a gig, and chatting about love.

At the time, we were both recently divorced and feeling a little jaded about this empty love pit, we both fell into. Sure, in that moment, we were a little exhausted by love (maybe cause we were doing it wrong, I was for sure haha), but we still believed in it. I remember saying "man, I miss that initial feeling you get from being in love for the first time", you know, that pure, force of love that humans feel, that thing that makes us, us, and that's where this song was born.

Cut to 5yrs later, and me reflecting on that conversation and how I could turn that idea into a song. It basically wrote itself :)

For those of us who have been, or are currently, in love, There just isn't a feeling like that first time being in love. Whether you're 4yrs old or 104yrs old, there is nothing like that first time.

We all remember our first loves.

Love is all there is, it's the only thing that matters.
