Singled Out: Broadside's Coffee Talk
. Today Broadside singer Ollie Baxxter tells us about their new single "Coffee Talk" which comes from their forthcoming album "Old Bones" (Out on Victory Records on May 19th). Here is the story: I wrote "Coffee Talk" in the middle of the summer. I stress the middle of the summer because I feel like it's the only time my mind, body and soul are at ease. I was renting a tiny room in a sketchy apartment last July in Richmond and I was SO broke it isn't funny. I mean I was washing plastic forks to reuse.. But I wasn't miserable because I was able to skate throughout the night and photograph the city to escape my worldly problems. That being said, I was also seeing a girl who lit a fire in my bones. We would work all day and stay up all night, biking around, and drinking sh*tty Waffle House coffee (hence the reference), and I just really enjoyed the comfort of knowing, that at the end of the day I could lay in her comfortable, clean, air conditioned room and complain about how easy, or at least how easy it seemed, everyone else had it. It's rare that you feel a genuine connection anymore, in a time of uploaded memories and digital harassment. You don't truly get to embrace the beauty of a good conversation and sometimes just the subtle warmth of having someone that doesn't expect anything in return, just company is good enough. It's a summer song for the penniless dreamer and the romantic. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the band right here!
