Setting: a cold Minnesota Friday night
A younger, and much more handsome Brandon Ivers arrives at my studio (aka, my parent’s basement)

My music production work habits aren’t nearly as strict as I’d like them to be, and often I’ll let a track sit for days (or in this case years) before finishing it. So anyhow, here’s the remix:
