This is about as far back as you can go in the Five Times August audio archives. Before the MTV stuff happened, before touring the country nine times over, before Myspace, YouTube, Facebook… I was this kid. 17 years old, fresh out of high school, all I wanted to do was play and record my songs. Well, hear was to be the first of many in the years to come. It’s not amazing, I sound young and inexperienced. However, I’m often asked by younger aspiring songwriters about how I got started. I think recordings like this are important because everyone starts somewhere and I hope that if you admire the music I’ve released in recent years this will inspire you to keep going. Keep writing, playing, singing, recording, you will get better and better every single time.
