Dear And The Headlights' 'Small Steps, Heavy Hooves' is available now. Get the album here: bit.ly/dath-merch
Lyrics:
Speak dumb like every other one
Don't want to let you down
I‘d rather let you fall apart
And so you back off
A bit less obvious
Oh you forgot I called
Won't take it personal, honey
I know, you've just been busy or
You need to be alone
Well you can call me if you're bored
I'll sing a song low
Over the telephone
In lower decibels
So you can hear it
And lost it though
You've lost that privilege with a hundred more
Hold his hand now
Out on the mission field
Your hearts compatible
Mine breaks alone
Your new boyfriend
You've got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me
'Cause I'm the former one
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right
I'm sorry, that was rude of me
Forget I said a thing
But don't forget it when you're staring at him
Say something you mean
Don't be polite
Kiss, kill, nothing in between
I can't sit still
Get cancelled, can't sit still
Not when you got
Passed on, up and over
Said she did
Said she gotta come on and pass me up
Let me go, throw away, let me go
Oh, it's okay not to be the same
Be the same
You've got him
Crossed out a page of names I won't say
Some state I can't name
They both mean the same thing

I wish I can travel back in time and listen to this band when they were together

[@HabibiSpice]

I wish for that too. But you may be able to listen to Ian’s new band if they’re still together. It’s called the Gentle Hits.

[@lar2028]

@@HabibiSpice oh thanks didn't know, will hear it!

[@HabibiSpice]

DJ HUCKLEBERRY Yeah it’s not really the same stuff we’re used to with DATH but it’s close

[@michaelarredondo6401]

they wouldve been a lot bigger if Equal Vision Records wasn't so shitty at promotion, they were practically unsigned. But its also hard to say because they broke up due to them disliking the exhausting tour life and how the record label didn't care about their music but kept shoving merch sales and stuff down their throats.

[@JapaneseLanguageMentor]

@@michaelarredondo6401 Listen to Telemarket Mishap and you get some insight into why Ian broke off.

[@ianh834]

please give this band more attention

[@ianh834]

(deserved)

[@beautyinmisery]

They broke up years ago, this song originally came out in 2007 I believe

[@comedybearsfriendizesvan]

@@beautyinmisery wow, the date I was born, and I found it in 2022.

[@DursTuckle]

Randomly came across this song this year and I cannot stop listening to it

[@kailynstump5142]

This was ALWAYS my favorite jam by them! I think I found this album when I was around 12 years old. This song is so unique, gets stuck in my head all the time.

[@Nicov35]

Brings me back to 2009-2011. What a time...

[@KittyCatComa]

Every song on this album is an absolute banger.

[@EvadingCreation]

I saw you with Jimmy Eat World like 13 years ago in Dayton, Ohio. Time sure flies...

[@TSC0000]

a special piece of music. its rare to find a treat like this

[@floodstreet2961]

So underrated

[@thezombae8892]

so underrated

[@nihlopringles1703]

I don't know any of the lyrics yet so when it plays in my head it goes: "dup dup dudududupdup- boyfriend... You got a new boyfriend.....

[@first_ones_free6556]

Man I have listened to this one album for like 8 years lol. If you guys haven’t listened to his band gentle hits they have some good songs! Definitely not as manic as deer and the headlights though

[@gageb4476]

Wow, and im glad not everybody knows about this

[@HabibiSpice]

Been my favorite song since I heard it four years ago

[@OhDelta9]

Love the HD reups man, so many bands need to get this done already

[@Stink777]

2023 baby
