The track is titled\u00a0<em>&#8216;All My Friends Are So Depressed&#8217;<\/em> and is inspired by The Smiths and 100 Gecs.<\/p>\n<p>It sees the trio of Barry Johnson, Matt Ebert, and Chase Knobbe provide a jangly, yet downbeat, number that maintains\u00a0<strong>Joyce Manor<\/strong>&#8216;s catchy quality.<em>\u00a0<\/em><em>\u201cThe first line I came up with for this song was \u2018lord above in a Tecate truck\u2019 after passing a Tecate delivery truck with Jesus shit all over it on the freeway driving back to Long Beach after a show in Fresno\u201d,<\/em> vocalist\/guitarist Barry Johnson explains. \u201c<em>While searching for a line that rhymed with \u2018lord above in a Tecate truck\u2019 I came up with \u2018why even exist? Who gives a fuck!?\u2019 and the concept of \u2018All My Friends Are So Depressed\u2019 was born. It\u2019s kind of my take on what I imagine Lana Del Rey lyrics are like. Instead of icy, detached cool 50\u2019s Americana, it\u2019s all dirty shag carpet, bong rips, Peter Frampton Comes Alive, key lime pie and suicidal ideations. My flow was inspired by 100 Gecs who I was listening to a concerning amount in 2023 (Much respect to Dylan and Laura, please take us on tour).
