about

Too Many is our response to the very real emotional whip-lash of being on tour, and then coming home again. It's lyrics soon developed into something more on the pursuit of art, and however that manifests itself for the listener.
This song is one of those rare instances where the bulk of the composition came effortlessly, as though it already existed somewhere in the ether, delivering it's verses to our singer Charlie on one quiet afternoon, after a long stint of back-to-back shows.
We hope you love belting along to Too Many in moments when you feel like giving up completely, and find some comfort and release in knowing, we feel it too.

lyrics

Too many people
None of them friends
Too many lights
All of them red
I can’t see ahead

Too many trips
Not holidays
Too many people
And none of them stay
I forgot their names

You should give give up if it’s so hard

Too many nights out
Just living the dream
I should get some sleep

You should give up if it’s so hard
They would kill to be where you are

Too many standards I haven’t met
But they’re not yours so set
