about

When I moved out west, I left my previous roommate in a bit of a bind. We had been longtime friends but the living situation had increased a distance between us. I wrote this song to say I was sorry and that no one person was to blame for the wedge that drove us apart. We still remain close friends despite the physical distance.

lyrics

If you asked me to I don’t think I could pinpoint the moment
when it changed between us
In retrospect, there’s common courtesy
and I apologize for not carrying myself better

For all we’ve been through, it’s just so painful
I needed something, I had to let go

When things sour
When things sour

When I left there were far too many things that were going on
and I know I didn’t put much effort in relationships
But when did you lose complete control and utter self respect?
There’s so much more, still you don’t apply
All the fruits you tasted, you prefer the one that gets you wasted

But who am I to talk as I have my own vice and virtue?
So much bitterness and a cyclical self-loathing
Is there anything I can do to make it better?
Maybe time apart can bring us back together

When things sour
When things sour

about

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
