Old Times Sake (Epigraph by Yesika Salgado) Lyrics
Depends on the day or the lighting
Or how sweet I took my coffee, that morning
Or the songs I showered to
Or how long the line at the bank was
Or who smiled at me on the way home
Or the shirt I wore or a call I got at 2 P.M
Or a line in the last book I read
Depends on the couples I walk by
What I had for dinner, the weed I smoked
Or if I chose to go to bed early
Or if I've given up on sleep
Who knows what it is that’ll suddenly make me want to love you again
One last try, for old times' sake
One last try, for old times' sake

I’ve always loved the epigraphs at the beginning of books. I’ve always loved the process of reading that, wondering why an author picked it, maybe liking the poem, but not having the context, getting to the end of the book, going back, reading the poem again and thinking, ‘Oh shit, that’s why they picked this.’ Yesika and I have been friends for about 10 years now. We met through the poetry community in Los Angeles. She and I edited one of her poems into a singable form, and it became the introduction, the epigraph of my album. I hope when people listen to it the first time, it’ll set the tone for listening to the rest of the album and the story and the emotional space that they’ll be experiencing.
