about

Let Them Come started last year in Nashville when I was tinkering around on my guitar. I tuned my guitar down really low until I got this cello-like sound and my brother Nick Morris – whom I collaborate with a lot – went “what is that!?” to which I responded, “I don’t know, but I think it’s good…” So, the riff for Let Them Come happened first, and immediately I thought it had to have a chant. I started humming and eventually that turned into “say bye bye to the old ways, old ways”. The entire song came from this and we pieced it together like Frankenstein.

The whole concept for Let Them Come is that there’s the young, the old, the new; there are inherent rights and wrongs, but time is always changing. We’re always evolving, but the one constant is that we’re all mostly ridiculous. Life can be pretty comical. If an army of youth and reason tramples us all and we’re all turned to dust, it will still be hilarious. So “Let Them Come”: don’t take life so seriously. It’s about poking fun at, and honoring, everyone.

lyrics

Say bye bye to the old way, old way
Say bye bye to the old
Say bye bye to the old way, old way
Say bye bye to the old

Say bye bye to the old way, old way
Say bye bye to the old
Say bye bye to the old way, old way
Say bye bye to the old

We saw how they arrived
Their siege engines so bright
But the first guests to arrive
Are desperate fools
Barely alive
They want a taste of this
Our pure and simple bliss
But they'll only taste the ashes
Such sweet disappointment

Yeah they got the numbers
But their math is wrong
Try to find the melody
Without the song

So let them come
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

We got nothing to lose
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

They got nothing to say
We got nothing to prove
So let them come
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

They rode in bearing truth
Convinced it's something new
But they lack the concrete proof
Despite their good intentions
I wish I could believe
That change is all we need
But change for change’s sake
Is nothing but soliloquy

Yeah they got the numbers
But their math is wrong
Try to find the melody
Without the song

So let them come
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

We got nothing to lose
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

They got nothing to say
We got nothing to prove
So let them come
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

Yeah they got the message
But they missed the point
It's a funny thing
To hear them laughing
Even though
They don't get the joke

So let them come
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

We got nothing to lose
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

They got nothing to say
We got nothing to prove
So let them come
(Say bye bye to the old way, old way)
(Say bye bye to the old)

So let them come
