I owe everything inspirationally to Riley since 2004. Hearing him play just encouraged me to focus on the things that most drummers weren't focusing on at that time. I'm so glad that he is making his own music on the side. Not only is it very good and unique, but that it has also motivated me to focus on my guitar, bass, and piano; aside from playing drums. This song will always remind me of the good times even though the tone and vibe isn't the brightest. Cheers.
If anyone hasn't, they should definitely listen to David Foster Wallace's commencement speech, called, "This Is Water." The title of this track is a direct reference from that. I absolutely adore this song as well as that speech.
@fackwhy he is the drummer from thrice haha. lots of people know who he is. not many know about his solo stuff, mostly because there isn't much of it. not that i can find anyway
This is definitely my favourite. I'm singing it everyday since the first time I heard it... I'm a kinda addict, hehe.
Riley, your music is so peacefuuul. Like a beautiful landscape at dawn (:
