Perhaps sports brought you here, or your love of Wendy’s.
Whatever it is, welcome to the slamiverse.
Lyrics:
You & I sipping on coffee,
Except not really me,
‘Cause it makes me anxious,
Guess I’ll just drink tea.
You & I staring at another sunset,
Except not really just you and me,
Like a billion other people,
Who like things that are pretty.
Slam dunk, home run, how did I find a friend like you ?
You & I playing backyard baseball,
Except we’ve never really done that,
But I’ve got a baseball mitt,
If you ever want to try it.
You and I making out in the bathroom of a Wendy’s,
Except only in my weird dreams,
That I’ve never really told you,
‘Cause they’re embarrassing.
Slam dunk, home run, how did I find a friend like you ?
You and I are the type to take things slowly,
And that’s ok with,
That’s ok with me,
That’s ok with me.
Frail Talk presents “slam dunk”, a single off of their upcoming album “Microspirit”.
Frail Talk finds themselves standing in a field again, surrounded by sports, right where they should be ? Are they playing ? Absolutely not. What a delight.
Sing along, and learn the lyrics, as there is much more to come.
“slam dunk” Recorded in Silsbee, TX by Tommy & Hannah Read

A big thank you to parks everywhere & baseball & basketball. We couldn’t have done it without you.

You and I are the type to take things slowly,
And that’s ok with,
That’s ok with me,
That’s ok with me.
On the heels of recording their sophomore album, the band reached out into the swampy beauty of Lazy Bones Audio's land, to record a live and acoustic version of "little al".
