about

The narrator of “Susan I’m Sorry” both asks for and offers forgiveness for the actions of a younger self (“I was old enough to know better, but a late bloomer”). Likewise, the inspiration for the music also came from different eras. “My 12-year-old got a keyboard for their birthday and I was trying to remember some basic technique, but all I could summon forth was bits of ‘Moonlight Sonata,’” says Leslie. A hip-hop heavyweight figured just as prominently as Beethoven in that creative process. “Leslie suggested I play like Nicki Minaj rapping,” reveals Johnny. “That was the best prompt for a guitar solo I’ve ever had.” - Kurt B Reighley

lyrics

Susan I’m Sorry

Susan I’m sorry, I was unkind
I was old enough to know better, but a late bloomer
We were both so aimless then, drinking in the cemetery, smoking
Walking down the train tracks, you in a mood, me in your tall black boots

Couldn’t get enough, no, no, that kid was bottomless
A bottomless pit, you couldn’t fill it
What was I supposed to do
I didn’t know, I didn’t know better

Susan, I’m sorry, I was afraid
Was it really me who aimed the hairspray for the lighter, and later
In my rearview mirror, watching you get smaller and smaller
I was running home to my mama

Couldn’t get enough, no, no, that kid was bottomless
A bottomless pit, you couldn’t fill it
What was I supposed to do
Didn’t know, didn’t know no better

about

Braly Sangster Seattle, Washington

In the greatest duos, the dynamic between individuals generates a sound all its own. Voices and visions co-mingle completely, alchemizing into a union
that transcends “complementary” or “contrasting.”
While musician / producer Johnny Sangster and Pineola’s Leslie
Braly are both established artists in their own right, the music they make as
Braly Sangster owes everything to their chemistry.
