Can We Make It? (Jim Carrey) [Commentary] Lyrics by Valley

Last Birthday (The After Party) [Commentary]

2022

Can We Make It? (Jim Carrey) this song is so fun. Uh, I have such fond memories of, like on a timeline level of this song. Firstly, all the music we've made as a band, uhm, has up 'til this point has been made in Mickey's parent's basement. That was like the clubhouse, the home base for us for ever. Our first EP, our debut album Maybe, sucks to see you doing better, Last Birthday, every session up 'till now, everything happened there and it was kinda like sand lot housе or whatever, like that was wеre we kinda grew up as a band and this song is the last song, I believe, we wrote in that basement before we packed up our kinda personal lives and boxes and moved on and started this next chapter of our lives. So, it's very bittersweet memory. I remember sitting at the piano we set up there and just kinda playing the chorus and then we wrote the verse groove and the bass and the Jim Carrey line happened and the Britney line happened and we were just kind of like having so much fun just writing, the four of us as a band, as a group, as these best friends that, you know, spend all these time together making music. And that's kinda what the song represents to me. Obviously, the song is very like, upbeat, it's groovy, it's very live oriented, it's got like a gospel chorus. The subject is obviously a little dark, as Valley would do, it's our classic kinda juxtaposition, but it's about mental health, like it's really a love letter kinda to myself and to anyone around me that, you know, helping people is such an important thing and helping people get through shit, but they also have to kinda try to meet you, if not half way, a quarter or, you know, getting some kind of response from them to inspire you to keep going. That's kinda what the song is about, it's like, I can only help you so much, if you don't help yourself and you need to be open with me and you need to give me those kind of clues in to what you're thinking in your life so I can pick you up and like wake you up. And the whole Jim Carrey kind of reference is important on a number of levels, he grew up in our hometown of Burlington, Ontario where me and Alex grew up and he's always kinda been an icon that's like "made it" from our hometown. So, A, he's just been a huge inspiration to get the hell out of this suburb and be successful and that's always been kind of a big role model for my career and the bands career. On to that, I think as a character growing up, like he's always such an actor that has taken on so many personalities and hats and emotions and he's always had that heart and I think a lot of the time, going through mental health issues, I feel like I'm playing these kind of characters. It's really difficult, sometimes waking up and being like, "Oh, which Rob am I gonna get?" And yeah, I think that's just where that reference came from, it just felt right, but I'm really thankful that this song happened. I think it's an important thing to talk about, being there for people is so important and if this song makes you be there for someone close to you that needs the help, uhm, definitely meet them halfway
