Glad You Came
We Came As Romans
What’s a remix or cover you like more than the original?
I kind of hate covers that just faithfully reproduce the original track, that's so boring. I much prefer when an artist puts their own spin on it, while still capturing the essence of the original.
This cover is exactly that - and an absolute metalcore bop to boot.

We Came As Romans
What’s a lyric that resonates deeply with you and why?
These three words really stand out to me:
DIE OR GROW
Like it's nothing particularly profound or anything, but it reminds me to not dwell on the past or get stuck worrying about the future. I should instead focus on growing myself in the present - learning new things, extending love and support to others, and just generally being better than I was yesterday.
If I'm not growing, I'm dying.
Die or grow.
If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be?
This track has all the qualifications to be my theme song:
- Horns
- Rockets
- Upbeat tempo
- Nonsense words
- Freaks and geeks
- Vaguely hopeful message
- Deference to an authoritative woman
The definition of futz was something we had yet to learn
But we tried to do it anyway, anyway
Cause Julie we'll do anything you say
We Did Good With The Good We Did
Gogol Bordello
A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed?
If I'm honest, I didn't really know that "gypsy punk" was a thing, but encountering Gogol Bordello a couple of years back changed me. Their music is infectious.
Oh, and they've got a new album out.
Hey, you did good
With the good you did
You unburied the treasures you hid
Back when you were a kid
