about

Another song about a girl but not really about that girl. I matched with Maria on tinder recently after ending a relationship and she asked me to write her a song. I ended up writing about how I was just comparing her to my ex. Song came out great, never met Maria but she did make some sick art for the song so thanks Maria for inspiring the tune and for being just a cool person.

Review by Kenny Bieber of Stars and Scars
The single is a bit of a departure from some of their previously released material, as the track takes on a psychedelic rock atmosphere but still manages to contain the musical scope that the Foes are known for. Lyrically, Fern details the desire and longing for a lost love, and his vocal performance is one of his most tender and intimate to date, adding some genuine emotional layers to the proceedings. The track’s arrangements stand out as well, due to the layered arrangements which add a haunting and hazy melodic feel that helps draw the listener in.

lyrics

Maria Maria,
Well I think I’d like to meet her
Cuz I’ve been staring at this picture
For too long know

Maria Maria,
Well she looks like the girl for me
Cuz she paints with poetry
Like the sunrise in the fall

I just want to find what frames those perfect eyes
But I don’t think it’s kind

Oooo left or right

Maria Maria, well I admit this is getting strange
I hardly know her name
But still I romanticize and fantasize

Oh Maria Maria,
I imagine what she'd say
Is she sick of these internet mind games
The ones that go on and on and on
On and on and on

I just want to find what frames those perfect eyes
But I don’t think it’s kind

Oooo left or right Oooo left or right
