Behind The Lyrics

I wrote this song based on one of my favorite albums from the 2010’s. The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us by Beach Slang. The album as a whole is one of my favorites and I think it’s because I really love the meaning behind the album, which is the album name. I feel it's always been hard for me to open up and find close friends that feel and think like me. I’m thankful to have had a lot of really sweet people in my life, but I only consider a few people really close friends. Honestly, it’s just rare to find people who feel exactly as you do, which is why this album is pretty sentimental to me, cause it directly relates to my life.

It was important to me to write a song around this album because the concept is so relatable to my life. I’m a very introverted person and when I meet new people, sometimes I find myself acting or saying things I normally wouldn't in order to try to make a good impression. It’s almost as if I’m trying to make a good impression in case this new person is someone I have a lot in common with. To me there’s nothing better than having really close friends you can talk to about anything so I guess maybe that’s why I act the way I do. Overall, I wanted to write a song literally about the concept “the things we do to find people that feel like us”. I’ve done a lot of stupid things, and have been in some funny situations that have brought me to some of my closest friends, which makes me laugh lol. Literally thinking of all the stupid things I’ve done to meet people who feel like me. Honestly, I feel this is a great conversation starter as well lol. If you’ve never checked out the album, definitely do that as well. Beach Slang
