“It’s not as much like a front row seat as it is that stained futon in the green room.” - Anonymous
‘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
