Labor Day: Lainie Fefferman and Jascha Narveson
Episode 3
Saturday, 28 September, 2024
I head back to university teaching tomorrow—and I know many teachers and students who are already back at it. In honor of this back-to-school season, here's an episode on a wild and wonderful song by New-York-based composers Lainie Fefferman and Jascha Narveson. In addition to composing a wide variety of music as individual artists, they are part of a synth-pop duo called The Beverage Station. The duo will release a full album, including this song, on May 30, 2025, from Gold Bolus Recordings. Labor DayLainie FeffermanBrand-new facesFamiliar hallsTracking pacesFeel it in my throatBones breakBack achesI could punch through wallsAnd then there's youHeart explosionsArms aglowBig emotionsPack up its time to goHours comeSeconds goCut to my fun walk homeWhere there is youFamiliar facesBrand-new hallsMaking spacesSharing all I loveCalm comesBack strokeKeeping tallies of smiles and cheersI know I've lost what I'm doing here
