about

“Doin’ Alright feels like floating through a montage of moments from a past relationship from a 3rd person perspective. Some sweet and sentimental moments, others problematic in hindsight. The sounds, melodies, and harmonies feel like the space between the time of a heartbreak, and the present day having healed from it. The lyrics feel like the knowledge that you’ll never quite be the same, but probably in a good way.”
Joel Anderson, MD

lyrics

There's no turnin' back
Ya said whatcha meant to
I can't hide the fact
Thought I needed you, but it wasn't true

But I thought I needed it
I thought that I needed it
I thought that I

I thought I needed
You in my life
But now I see it
I'm doin' alright
No longer feel it
I held it too tight
Don't say ya miss it
We both know I'm right

I can't tell you why
I needed you to know
There's no reason why
I shouldn't let you go

But I thought I needed it
I thought that I needed it
I thought that I

I thought I needed
You in my life
But now I see it
I'm doin' alright
No longer feel it
I held it too tight
Don't say ya miss it
We both know I'm right

I tried to forget you
But you never go away
I tried to forget you
But you have it your own way
I tried to forget you
But you never go away
I tried to forget you
But you have it your own way

I thought I needed
You in my life
But now I see it
I'm doin' alright
No longer feel it
I held it too tight
Don't say ya miss it
We both know I'm right

We both know I'm right

I tried to forget you
But you never go away
I tried to forget you
But you have it your own way

Swim Fan Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Swim Fan is the name of a band called Swim Fan.

Originating in Oklahoma City around 2016, the band is comprised of Spenser Powers - guitar/vocals, Justin McCullough - bass, and Tremaine Wade - drums/percussion.

Together, they have been known to weave dreams of pop and waves of synth, perfect psych-tinged sounds for a punch bowl rooftop party or a pool lounge floatie veg session. ... more
