Was I born to love you or was I born to leave you? Early in a relationship, I’ve often felt a mixture of elation (“Holy crap this is amazing”) and restraint (“Woah dog, you’ve only known this person a little while… ease up”). This song is a playfully serious look at that moment, when we’re trying to be nonchalant about our feelings, whistling our way through it, meanwhile hearing the devil and angel on our shoulders sharing their thoughts on our mixed emotions.
The rub is that you’re likely not alone. The other person likely has the same feelings of questioning, which makes it exciting and scary. However, keeping the nonchalant attitude wins the day. If you want to be with me, awesome! If you don’t, awesome!
Shot brilliantly by Dustin Byerley in a French New Wave style, this video takes these feelings on a different type of ride. Enjoy!
