about

Baby Don’t Fight It was the first song we recorded with Sam back in December 2021. I remember pinching myself driving to the studio with Kaleah (drummer), having listened to Ball Park Music since I was a young teen. The day in the studio was so effortless and magical, I think we all knew there’d be more of it to come. This song has a pretty stripped back band arrangement which speaks to the song’s story - it’s about accepting the light and dark parts of a relationship and not fighting any emotion that comes up. I’d like to see it as a really sad birthday card in song format, missing, hating and celebrating someone all at the same time.

lyrics

Well it’s his birthday tomorrow
26 is a big one
Last year down by the coastlines
Crying by the shore and feeling uncertain

Made a cake and brought out the candles
And you blew ‘em out like a child
And I know memories last forever
But I’ve got a feeling, I won’t let these ones go
And I can’t seem to think of anything else

Baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight it
Maybe sometimes in the middle of the night
You’ll try to ignite it
Baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight it
Blowing 26 candles out in a row, just trying to deny it

And for fuck’s sake, felt like an earthquake
When you melted into my brain
You talk about it on the internet
Call me out or call me afraid
And I don’t want to hear about it

Baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight it
Maybe sometimes in the middle of the night
You’ll try to ignite it
Baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight, baby don’t fight it
Blowing 26 candles out in a row, just trying to deny it

Just a gentle reminder
That we’re not together
Happy Birthday to ya
I still love ya
