Clapping on the TV - EXES

The first single from our forthcoming debut album Don't Give Up On Me Now (out February 4, 2022)!

“There was a time, fairly recently, where I needed to clap on game shows and talk shows in order to make money. Music wasn’t paying the bills so I turned to paid seat filler jobs. It was probably the lowest point in my adult life. I questioned everything I was doing. I was getting older, running into people I went to college with—finding out they had babies and houses and retirement plans. I was barely scraping by. Sometimes it still feels that way. “Clapping on the TV” came from that weird time. We wrote it with our friend, Petey, in the studio one day as an ode to all the late 20 year olds who still don’t know which direction they’re headed. It’s a song for the misfits, the loners, and the kids who don’t want to grow up and give up on their dreams. It’s also an ode to paid audience members— I learned that gig is NOT as easy as it seems. Long hours, cold studios, and lots of fake laughing. Please stream the song so I don’t have to go back.” - Allie
