30th birthday
Louder Than the Candles
A birthday anthem about the worst karaoke voice in the city, a road trip that ended at a gas station, and a wish already coming true.
for Alex, from the group chat
The details behind it
- The inside joke
- Alex sings louder than anyone and worse than anyone. Every karaoke night, same song.
- Our best memory
- The road trip to the coast that ended at a gas station because we never checked the map.
- The vibe
- Fun, loud, a little chaotic — but the last chorus should make Alex cry a bit.
From the lyrics
You never checked the map and we never cared, a gas-station sunrise, the coast was never there — so sing it off-key, sing it out of time, you're louder than the candles, and you're ours for life.
The sound
Upbeat pop rock · Joyful · Group / female lead vocal · Fast tempo
