about

The Bike Song. This one will be in the set till the end of time. Wrote it back in 2015 when I was living in Boston and someone actually did steal my bike. I paired that idea with a recent breakup I was going through and the song was finished in like 10 mins. Special thanks to Eddie Ruddick and Matthew Menges for helping me with the tune and for performing its with me at old Airacuda shows.

Impose Magazine
In the delightful tune, Fern makes the most of a series of unfortunate events with a soulful, horn-laden tune that immediately welcomes you into his charming sonic world. It’s a great visual and aural companion for anybody out there who just can’t seem to catch a break.

lyrics

I left you last night
When you were still mine
I left you tied up
Safe and tight

But when I awoke
The chains binding you broke
And you were gone
Gone gone gone gone gone


Now someone new is riding you
Someone new is going downtown on you
Someone new
Someone new’s riding you

Now everyone looks like you
On the street
And I feel the pain
In my feet

I’m forced down the green line
Sick to my stomach all the time
Because you’re gone
Gone gone gone gone gone

Now someone new is riding you
Someone new is going downtown on you
Someone new
Someone new’s riding you
