Back When I’m Gone
Also available everywhere else
Back when this song was written, it was 2012, Maria Calvo and I were seniors in high school, and we knew even less about life than we know now.
This is the first song we ever wrote together, and even though we wrote it a long time ago, it’s still one of our favorites, and it still means a lot to us.
We’re grateful to everyone who helped us revive this song; we wouldn’t have been able to do so without them.
