Boots on the snow road The bitter winter cold From in our heavy coats We speak in only smoke We say New England over all Come visit in the fall Smoked more cigarettes than Mom would allow In cities and towns that are hard to pronounce Doin' 90 on the pike headed out Worcester way With the windows down you can barely hear us yelling Hey New England over all Come visit in the fall Liberal cities and conservative towns Two different states with the same Senator Brown (Just kidding!) Tax free liquor from the state package stores From Maine down to Connecticut our voices soar We say New England over all Come visit in the fall

Good Dads 01:53
Good dads out front With a baseball glove And a happy son on a fall day Reads a book or three About coral reefs To his curious daughter on the subway Good dads Buying diapers Good dads Changing diapers At the grocery store Carting back and forth Mostly vegetables for growing children Shares domestic tasks with his other half He takes out the trash every other week Good dads Always tough but fair Good dads A stern parental glare Good dads Sometimes unprepared

Wine-soaked dollar, call me by name Harden your heart to that oncoming train Put your ear to the dirt; you know it's coming back again Wine-soaked dollar, bleeding and red Ain't nothing else to kick around 'cept bad thoughts, stale bread I'll call you tomorrow, we'll play that old radio song Wine-soaked dollar in my head too long Wine-soaked dollar all along Wine-soaked dollar, carpet the tracks Cast more coal on the fire, make that clickity-clack By noon-time on Sunday you'll be drinking that whiskey alone again (hah!) Wine-soaked dollar, strung out on the steps Bumming smokes from some college kid 'cause you ain't quit yet You see them down by the rail yard Pretending they're living desperate days So they sing, so they say, they're singing Wine-soaked dollar in my head too long Wine-soaked dollar all along

Drivin' in your car Goin' nowhere fast Won't get very far Almost out of gas You're on a one-way road to Bummer City, USA At the ear, nose, throat doctor Flippin' through the magazines Got a coffee date at three But you're waiting forever it seems At least you'll make your appointment in Bummer City, USA Final edit on your midterm paper Makin' sure you got it right Formatting all your Chicago citations Out of nowhere your computer dies Should've saved, now your day's shot to Bummer City, USA Down the Jersey shore Forever summer land You get an ice cream cone on the boardwalk And you drop it in the sand Enjoy your double scoop of Bummer City, USA

about

One brisk day in the fall of 2013, James and Steve found themselves walking around Cambridge, MA when they decided that they wanted to start a silly hot-chocolate-drinking-sweater-wearing-dad-twee band called Nap Forever.

That's sort of what happened except that they don't really know how to make twee music so instead they just basically made more folk punk music but with the addition of excellent/talented friends Paul Fuller and Mike Chen who rule.

So like, here's this record.

Ben Greer captured all of the sounds and made it beautiful. He's wonderful.

As is Ryan Pratt, who helped. Friends are great. <3
