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.

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.
