    An ex-partner introduced me to this song in 2011. I was living in Alaska at the time, and she and I weren't dating quite yet. I liked it then, and I like it now. We haven't spoken aloud since 2016 - it was messy, and I won't get into it here - but I still remember some of the good times, and this song is part of that. Music was a passion we shared.

    Been following the fellaz for yearz thanks to my pops who was a friend of them. They signed a poster to him while he was going through Chemo which was a loving gesture. Overtime I've seen many shows in many cities and towns and had a many late nights with them afterward. Some as many as 11 yrs ago. One of the fondest was a raging drunk in Tucson while living there a few years back because pops was there too. I had great after show in Portland with them after my sons birth in 2017. I gotta say there's not a more humble group of guys doing it now days. Love y'all. Especially Party 🥳 Marty aka Marty Party. Cheers boys when this whole bullshit pandemic is over we will have many rounds and tokes for tales.

    I heard this back in American Eagle back in 2009 and HAD to download it... Safe to say, I've been hooked ever since! Working in PacSun especially, I found so so so many incredible, underrated, underground indie artists over the five years I worked there from 2008-2013. It was probably the best part of working there. Not to mention, surprisingly enough, I got to meet a lot of bands/artists -- most excitingly was Saosin (the Anthony Green era) (also my scene/emo era) so you can imagine how happy I was. Great times. And not only did I discover a lot of underground artists working at PacSun, but since I spent so much time in a mall, I was constantly able to discover other underground artists when their music played in other stores. Fantastic. (Look up artists like Bright Eyes, A Fine Frenzy, The Format, + The Forecast if you're into this type of music and trying to branch out!) 💜💜💜

    Yeah, when I was only 17
    I could hear the angels whispering
    So I droned into the words and wondered aimlessly about
    Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
    It turned out to be the howling of a dog
    Or a wolf to be exact
    The sound sent shivers down my back
    But I was drawn into the pack and before long
    They allowed me to join in and sing their song
    So from the cliffs and highest hill
    Yeah, we would gladly get our fill
    Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
    And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
    For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
    And my thoughts, they surely were
    Turned to instinct and obedience to God
    You can wear your fur
    Like the river on fire
    But you better be sure
    If your makin' God a liar
    I'm a rattlesnake, babe
    I'm like fuel on a fire
    So if you're gonna' get made
    Don't be afraid of what you've learned
    On the day that I turned 23
    I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
    When suddenly a girl, her skin the color of a pearl
    She wandered aimlessly but she couldn't seem to see
    She was listenin' for the angels just like me
    So I stood and looked about
    I brushed the leaves off of my snout
    And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
    You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
    So I took her by the arm
    We settled down upon a farm
    And raised our children up as gently as you please
    And now my fur has turned to skin
    And I've been quickly ushered in
    To a world that I confess I do not know
    But I still dream of running careless through the snow
    And through the howlin' winds that blow
    Across the ancient distant flow
    And fill our bodies up like water till we know
    But you can wear your fur
    Like the river on fire
    But you better be sure
    If your makin' God a liar
    I'm a rattlesnake, babe
    I'm like fuel on a fire
    So if you're gonna' get made
    Don't be afraid of what you've learned
