‘Fate’ is Good Baby's second single and was released as part of the Good Baby Summer Sessions of 2019.

This was the first time the entire band appeared together on screen. We’ll introduce the gang further below.

About The Song

“Fate”

The Good Baby Sessions

Milk In The Matrix Recordings

Release Date: July 15, 2019

All music, recording, mixing, and video production was done by Good Baby in their home studio in Seattle, WA. Most of the sounds on the track were recorded with instruments (I dunno, what else are you supposed to say about music production liner notes?) This track included auxiliary percussion, namely the claves and a güiro. We just like saying the ‘güiro’.

Mastering was done on via bandlab.com…pretty dope.

About The Video

The video was completely shot on a dirty, dented, chipped up iPhone that has Charlie’s email address scribbled on a sticky note on the back under the case.

The band sequence was shot in the Good Baby garage in West Seattle and the vocal scenes were shot at Lincoln Park (also West Seattle, just south of the taco truck).

The b-roll was filmed out at Lake Chelan over 4th of July weekend 2019 under the influence of cheeseburgers and pizza.

For the record, THE BAND WAS CARDED BY THE BARTENDER during the filming sessions at Senor Frogs.

The editing was done on Final Cut. Many, many, many cans of La Croix were injured during the process.

‘Fate’ LYRICS

Verse 1

Why we fighting not in control now

Head so fuzzy clouded with doubt

Looking to run

I can’t see a way out

Keep thinking, ‘why do I beat you down?’

Run you off ‘til this fizzles out

Can’t give it a rest

Even at my best

CHORUS 2x

Didn’t mean to tell you I’m sorry

Didn’t mean to make you cry

Didn’t mean to break your heart

Don’t want to say good bye

Verse 2

Last night got a text from you

As I was moving on

All the feelings came flooding back

As I thought you were gone

And I take a deep breath now

Waiting to see how this plays out

Don’t know what is meant

To be

Stop with the games I’m out of time

Lived too long with all these damn lies

I’m tired of waiting

Tired of goodbye

CHORUS 1x

Didn’t mean to tell you I’m sorry

Didn’t mean to make you cry

Didn’t mean to break your heart

Don’t want to say good bye

Bridge

Is this gonna be

Another fantasy?

Is this gonna be

Just another memory

(Instrumental)

This can’t be, you and me

Without you baby I can’t see

This can’t be just memories

Without you baby I can’t breathe now

This can’t be, you and me

(Didn’t mean to tell you I’m sorry)

Without you baby I can’t see

This can’t be just memories

(Didn’t mean to make you cry)

Without you baby I can’t breathe now

CHORUS 3x

Didn’t mean to tell you I’m sorry

Didn’t mean to make you cry

Didn’t mean to break your heart

Don’t want to say good bye
