about

“Baby Blues” is a sonically expansive duet between Dissimilar South's songwriters, Maddie Fisher and Carter Hodge. The thick texture of reverberating percussion and acoustic guitars evokes the thrum of a summer evening, providing a backdrop for lyrics reflecting on a relationship at a turning point.
Fisher and Hodge’s voices tell separate stories, weaving in between disparate images and narratives, making it all the sweeter when they join in harmony at the chorus.

lyrics

Call me out on all my lies
Pull me back when it’s not my time
Birthday cake and clementines
Meet me on the other side

I was born to run away
Working my whole life to stay
Separate cars to the same place
I'll be right behind; I'm on my way

Dry your baby blues
I'll come back for you
Won't be long
I know I've been gone
But it won't be too long

Hold my breath as I walk up to
A group of people that I know know you
Carousels and green tree frogs
Return to when you find yourself far far lost

I went down to the corner store
Been gone a few hours or more
Know each face in this same town
I'm sure you're wondering when I'm coming back around

Dry your baby blues
I'll come back for you
Won't be long
I know I've been gone
But it won't be too long

I was terrified of going
I was terrified you'd leave
Didn't help that the money ran out
And the panic was free
Just two people making the most of a sinking house
Left it to fend for itself
State of disrepair (We can go back)
It's still standing there (We can't get back)

Dry your baby blues
I'll come back for you
Won't be long
I know I've been gone
But the porch light is on
And it won't be too long
