Butch Walker Band • Page 3

Yeah, Jake Sinclair and Michael Trent wrote that one.

 

So apparently this happened:

Members: Submit Your Questions For Dave Cobb and Butch Walker

And apparently Butch and Dave grew up together or something. Mind blown.

 

Album is mastered.

 

GAHHH GIMME A SINGLE!

 

No way in hell this thing doesn't come out this summer.

 

I am so ready for new Butch

 

I am so ready to hear my AOTY (probably)

 

Plz Butch just release the entire thing tomorrow

 

Also, he confirmed in a different IG post that the album is indeed called Stay Gold.

EDIT: He played two new (acoustic) songs in this interview. "Wilder in the Heart" is at approx. 15:45, and "Record Store" right after.

 

oh shitttt it's happeningggggg

 

Omg I need this record now.

 

That Instagram clip sound gooooooddddd.

 

Can't believe I didn't see this thread until now. Butch is hands down my favorite songwriter. Can't wait for Stay Gold.

Going to try to refrain from listening to the live videos so I can go into this record with a clean slate (I did listen to those IG clips though, and damn they sound great).

 

For 12 years I had not heard this 4 minute version of "Sunny Day Real Estate" - my copy of the song ended at 30 seconds until I added the album on Apple Music right now.

What. The. Fuck.

12 years?

(Also I don't really like this opening the album.)

 

I had no idea that existed either until I came across it on YouTube a couple years ago. Blew my mind.

 

I hit play on the album and was like ... wait, what the fuck is happening.

 

That's news to me that it's included on any version of the album. I would be so confused haha

 

Yeah, but Google says that it's only supposed to be :28. Didn't know there was a longer version.

 

It's on the Apple Music version I added to my collection!

Craig pointed out that extended version in the AP Butch thread a few years ago when I first discovered Butch, and I've had it as the opener since. Couldn't imagine it starting any other way now.

 

I think this was on the version I sent you last summer, so maybe that's where it's coming from? Cool if they put it on the Apple Music version, though. I always thought it was a strong enough song to be on the record. The CD version is definitely just the intro, though.

 

I had no idea there was a longer version. Sounds pretty good, not sure it would've worked as an album opener though.

 

Yeah, I get why he left it short. It doesn't quite fit the album's introspective mood.
