With the release of the 10th anniversary edition of Fair Youth landing next month now feels the right time to put out ‘October.’ Originally slated for No Feeling is Final the song didn’t quite sit on the album tonally, feeling more of connection to Fair Youth. One of the first songs written when the band tentatively began exploring the idea of creating together again, ‘October’ has its roots in a voice memo jotted down in vain hope during the band’s rehearsals for their final tour before they disbanded in 2016.
October is a song about the creative spark, about rekindling friendships and an ode to keeping trying to explore your artistic passions even when that might seem futile. A rare piece of Maybeshewill history that has its significance despite ultimately not ending up being included as part of a larger body of work.
