Artist Bio A wry singer/songwriter with a laid-back, cool-slacker sound, Aaron Taos emerged in the 2010s balancing his love of guitar-based indie rock with a romantic, electronic-tinged vibe. A former Vassar soccer player, Taos began releasing his songs online around 2015 and grabbed fans with low-key jams like "Ill" and "Simple and Sober." Basing himself in Brooklyn, he continued to evolve, weaving bits of EDM into his hooky pop anthems. A native of Connecticut, Taos first started playing around age seven and was writing songs and playing in bands by his teens. It was soccer that first took up most of his attention. A gifted athlete, he made the All New England team during his senior year of high school and went on to play for two years at Vassar. However, by college he was focusing more and more on music, playing in a band influenced by The Shins, Arctic Monkeys, and The Strokes. After graduating Vassar, he moved to Brooklyn and began working on his solo material. In 2015, he released the GUITS EP, which featured the tracks "Bangs" and "Simple and Sober." He garnered attention online, and more tracks followed as he moved in a more varied electronic direction. In 2017, he issued the single "Off My Mind," recorded in Los Angeles with production duo TŌN (aka Adam Korbesmeyer and Jerry Lang).

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ending on a bad note
Is like hanging 'round with sad folks
The aftertaste is bitter (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
But gives you something to be glad for
Well

[Chorus]
In these days
We just need to find something to cope
Don't reply to junk mail
Or take the time to vote
'Cause every other day
I see a shooting or a movie
Where the world crumbles faster
Than we ever could've hoped

[Verse 2]
Landed in the deep end
While tryna save a best friend
I should've got there quicker (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
But I was too busy flexing
Well

[Chorus]
In these days
We just need to find something to love
Don't reply to strangers
Or throw breadcrumbs to the doves
And every other day
I see a shooting or a movie
Where the world crumbles faster
Than we ever would've thought
Oh no

[Ad-lib]
And desperation can be the seed of greed
When everything that you want becomes what you need
And all those little mundane moments in between
Grow dark and fall off beat
I repeat (I repeat, I repeat, I repeat, I repeat)

[Bridge]
Driving through Laredo
On my way to New Mexico
Drifting off in deep thought
When I crashed the car

[Chorus]
'Cause in these days
We just need something to wake us up
Don't breathe too hard
Or think too much or else you're fucked
And every other day
I see a shooting or a movie
Where the world crumbles faster
Than we ever would've thought

[Outro]
These days
These days
These days
These days
We just need something to wake us up
