Mud | Altopalo

This track is so comfortably uncomfortable.

Stuck in the mud all night while the brain rain pours

It’s so chill and so smooth. But then, there are these moments - these glitches - where things feel off.

You're stuck in the mud hold tight while the clouds blow

Like when old TVs would go all static-y at random times.

Or when you’re driving through a rural area and a local radio station sporadically cuts in and out of the station you’ve been listening to.

Or when you’re watching a talk and someone new takes the mic. And, because of where they’re standing, they create the most painful feedback loop through the speakers.

I used to react to those situations so quickly - trying to counteract these outside forces fucking with my shit.

But I don’t any more.

Stuck in the mud don't mind what's the weather for

Maybe it’s because they’re so minimal compared to the outside forces that fuck with my shit now.

Or maybe because so many outside forces have fucked with my shit that I’m too tired to try to stop it.

You're stuck in the mud don't fight what's the effort for

Or maybe it’s because I just don’t care about them anymore…or mind them. Because, somehow, along the way, those outside forces became less disruptive. Somehow, those glitches, stopped taking away from something chill and smooth…and made it a little more interesting.
