We Win The Day
Jan 17, 202100:03:41Tap to summarizeWe’ve been hard at work writing and recording some new songs. Due to the covid pandemic we had to approach making music in some different ways and it’s actually been pretty fun to experiment with different sounds and work with different producers. We wrote a song called “We Win The Day”, and although it is still not in it’s completed form we thought we would put it up on a couple of our platforms to celebrate this small win in the ongoing fight for change in the world. Sometimes making it to the end of the day can be a win. Produced and written by: Joe Shull and Flobots
