about

This is a song about traveling through the Adirondacks, which always make me feel strangely nostalgic about a really painful part of my life. The music I was listening to a lot at the time always comes back and I feel a rush of all the thoughts and feelings I had back then and remember what it felt like. This February, I visited Saranac Lake for the annual Ice Festival, and I wrote the chorus for this song in the car on my way there.

Musically, this song was influenced mainly by Green Day—specifically the songwriting of Billie-Joe Armstrong, who has written music for other projects (The Longshot) that likely influenced this song. Recently I have found that I’ve been influenced by Green Day in the sense that I take ideas inspired by their music and try to alter them to be less predictable. (That’s just my feeling.)

lyrics

The Saranac Ache
From old travel days
The Adirondack Nostalgia
What a strenuous time
For my heart and my mind
Its impact never goes away
That heavy feeling’s here to stay
Every time I go that way again

Reminded of unrequited love
And the chaos my life had become
With Currents running through my blood
And keeping secrets from the whole damn neighborhood

The Saranac Ache
From old travel days
The Adirondack Nostalgia
What a strenuous time
For my heart and my mind
Its impact never goes away
That heavy feeling’s here to stay
Every time I go that way again

Zoned out staring out the car window
Forest covered mountains topped with snow
Small town wooden shacks with metal roofs
Accompanying my thoughts as I pass through

The Saranac Ache
From old travel days
The Adirondack Nostalgia
What a strenuous time
For my heart and my mind
Its impact never goes away
That heavy feeling’s here to stay
Every time I go that way again
