Medium Build

Country

Ashburn

Medium Build’s forthcoming album Country exists as a duality, running the spectrum of human emotions from playful optimism and visceral affirmations of life to heartbreak, loss, fear, and loneliness. Raised in Georgia, educated in Tennessee, and transformed in Alaska, his stories speak to the spectrum of those experiences and eagerly draw outside the clear lines of genre binaries - pulling from classic country, ‘80s new wave, '90s pop, and early 00's emo in equal measure. In another era, Medium Build might have just as easily been a rhinestone cowboy - lonesome out on the range, a blue-eyed crooner on a smooth-sailing yacht, or a leather-clad video star, but in the here and now, he’s no one but himself. Limited to 4 per customer. Vinyl color may vary slightly from what is pictured.

I feel like this is one of the types of songs Hunter S. Thompson was referring to. If you listen to this loudly, no matter how long you&#39;ve been on empty. You&#39;ll have another 50 miles in you.

I feel like this is one of the types of songs Hunter S. Thompson was referring to. If you listen to this loudly, no matter how long you've been on empty. You'll have another 50 miles in you.

I think it’s crazy how some random stranger across the world can write a song that perfectly describes what you’re going through. It’s uncanny how much each little line is poignant and cuts me a little bit when I hear it because it’s so painfully true. I genuinely never learned to dance so I thought I would be cheeky and listen, but you ripped my heart out with how exact this is to what I think and feel; even how I would word it or interpret this in my own perspective

Long shift tonight, hard work, long weekend leading into a longer week. 1am, I chose to come home to this with a beer in hand. Soothes the soul.

[Verse 1] Kids dressed up like Mormons, not sure if it&#39;s irony Double Casamigos hiding in the balcony Send me your location, I&#39;ll send you a selfie Babe, this dream I had, it feels like it might ruin me  [Pre-Chorus] Everyone&#39;s acting like it&#39;s so cool Everyone&#39;s saying this is so you, ooh  [Chorus] There has to be a better shit to give a shit about Instead of wondering what people think about me now The things that I don&#39;t know could fill a million fucking houses I never learned to dance  [Verse 2] Buying weed on Wilshire, sexting with my therapist Making beats with randos, starting to gеt arrogant They&#39;re like, &quot;Boy, you got connеctions now You&#39;re really fucking doing it&quot; Oh, come on!  [Pre-Chorus] Everyone&#39;s acting like it&#39;s so cool Everyone&#39;s saying this is so you, ooh  [Chorus] There has to be a better shit to give a shit about Instead of wondering what people think about me now The things that I don&#39;t know could fill a million fucking houses I never learned to dance, I never learned to dance I never learned to dance, yeah

[Verse 1]
Kids dressed up like Mormons, not sure if it's irony
Double Casamigos hiding in the balcony
Send me your location, I'll send you a selfie
Babe, this dream I had, it feels like it might ruin me

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone's acting like it's so cool
Everyone's saying this is so you, ooh

[Chorus]
There has to be a better shit to give a shit about
Instead of wondering what people think about me now
The things that I don't know could fill a million fucking houses
I never learned to dance

[Verse 2]
Buying weed on Wilshire, sexting with my therapist
Making beats with randos, starting to gеt arrogant
They're like, "Boy, you got connеctions now
You're really fucking doing it" Oh, come on!

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone's acting like it's so cool
Everyone's saying this is so you, ooh

[Chorus]
There has to be a better shit to give a shit about
Instead of wondering what people think about me now
The things that I don't know could fill a million fucking houses
I never learned to dance, I never learned to dance
I never learned to dance, yeah

Please put this version on every platform. I love it and listen to it everyday. You have a beautiful mind, and you deserve the best parts of this world. Stay true, stay strong.

I could tell within milliseconds what I was about to experience just based off the tone. This is purely indescribable

“Sextin’ with my therapist” I lol’d but the dysfunction and humor this song accurately portrays at the things we go through in life, the things we find ourselves wrapped up in..wow. It caught me in the throat, that line, lol.

I can’t quit listening to this. I literally can’t quit.

This song always gives me an uneasy feeling, in a good way. Accepting that we as humans will never experience everything can be hard sometimes. The list of things we don&#39;t and will never know can be disheartening

There’s a tiktok snippet of him singing this live that I’ve quite literally watched at least 200 times today. This dude is so underrated. I’m such a fan.

There it is. Standing in a yard, fingering wires across tension, through a mysterious electricity, holding the world together and tearing me apart.

This is one of the greatest songs of all time.

You don&#39;t need anything on your records but your voice and your guitar. Honestly, just that combination is magical.

The fact this doesn&#39;t have millions of views enrages me

everyone tell Michael he slayed on this mix

When he sings “Say my real name”... Oh my ❤

got the pleasure to hear Medium Build at the Forum opening for Tyler Childers just recently. We got our money’s worth before the great Tyler Childers ever stepped foot on stage. Nick is out of this world talented

What a fantastic artist - cannot get enough of these stripped down versions

He said “i get scared, i get mean, please dont take your love from me” man i cant help but cry at that part. Im so sorry. Thanks dude ❤ amazing

This is one of the most well written songs most people will never know about. Here is to those that found it.

I just found Medium Build a few days ago and I think this is my favorite track so far. 88k views is absolutely criminal.

&quot;I used think I was someone, I see that I&#39;m someone else.&quot; That line, among all the other great ones, just really hits me in the chest, man. I&#39;m not even fully sure why, but wow.

"I used think I was someone, I see that I'm someone else." That line, among all the other great ones, just really hits me in the chest, man. I'm not even fully sure why, but wow.

I came for the helmet and reflecter vest 🦺 but stayed for song and performance 🤘

You may be one of the artists that has impacted me the most in such a short period of time since I found you last year, for that I just want to thank you.

I wish you all the success in the world. A beautiful, raw performance. You’re a candle in a dark room. Thank you.

If you played this song live when I come to your show I will STRAIGHT UP FAINT

3 years later and this song is still an everyday listen. So good!

deserves more views; video is brilliant, song is heavy

Lyrics:

Kiss my face
I’ve spent so long tryna be tough
Say my name
Say my real name
Hold my hand   
Tell me everything is gonna be good
Pull me in close
Squeeze me in your arms 

Take me back
Tired of tryna do it on my own
By your side
That's where I'm gonna stay
Can I come
With you wherever you go
Call me out
Please don’t give up on me now

Buried deep
In my chest
I have things
I regret
I get scared
I get mean 
Please don’t take your love from me

Don’t know how
I found you
When you die 
Better bring me too
All I have
Is your love
I can’t ever get enough

LYRICS
I flipped the engine then I walked back inside
The snow was bombing down
The sun was too shy
I took a shower then we went for a ride
the car was smoking hot
I let it warm up too long
And on the way to the valley we passed the aux
You played an old one and I sang along
We drank until the bar told us to go home

I took the job cuz I need somewhere to hide
between sleeping in and opening up my phone
when I get nervous I go for a drive
I scan the radio roll all the windows down
and on the way to the valley I fight the urge
To go buy cigarettes and let them burn
Try not to turn into that person I know

Cuz I’ve been spending all my time in my car I just wanna be patient
I just wanna be gentle with you
I’ve been spending way to much time all alone in my car
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you

Lyrics: 
When you were young 
You moved to long beach 
I had a crush
But I didn’t say anything 

Baby boy moved back and you got new friends
And y’all treat every single night like the weekend

Do you ever think about  
Late at night when the bar closes
Coming by my house to

Say hi
Stay the night
Oh and break my heart
Say goodbye

Ran into your sister at the liquor store
Said I don’t know who the fuck I am anymore

Got a big fat tab at the 
Time Out Lounge 
And I Got half a mind to send a text and
See if you’d be down to

Say hi 
Stay the night
Oh and break my heart
When you say goodbye

You can change your name
Put some money in the bank
But down at the bar
You’re trying really hard 
to look like you’re having fun 

And I know nothings the same
But maybe if you came over
Nothing woulda changed

You could say hi
Stay the night 
And break my heart
When you say goodbye
