about

A RATBABY ORIGINAL. BEST FRIENDS STICK TOGETHER FOREVER.
Written for my We Live Here Too family. This song is for Dahn, for Kristen, for Monica, for Bradley, for Dan, for Lydia, for Franny, for Kaz, for Hannah, for Kirsten, for Kai, for Jeremy, for Leah, for Evangeline, for Landon, for Riley, and for everyone else (there's too many of you to mention, but you know who you are) who've been an immediate (or not so immediate) support in my life over the years. I hope I can always be there for you guys as you have been for me in some way, shape or form. WLH2 brought me out of emotional poverty and taught me how to love, not just myself, but the people around me. I found my people.

lyrics

Keep your head up if you can
Keep your head up if you can

Take good care of yourself
you're the only you that I've got
it's OK to fall apart sometimes
just try and keep your head up if you can
my friends

My friends and I, my social family
we're rat kings, we're royalty
and I love you more than oogles love grind
just try and keep your head up if you can
my friends

Best friends stick together
I wear it on my shoulder
just like some of you
we'll help each other through
the hardships, the trying times
because we're friends

C G F (Am)

Good Friends Are Hard to Find (but you'll find them in the most amazing places)
by Owl & Antler

Lyrical inspiration and giant babely babe banjo buddy. Seeing Robin play live in Toronto with Moon Bandits and Stick & Poke was one of the best folk/punk shows I've ever been to. Ratbaby
