Labor Day: Lainie Fefferman and Jascha Narveson
Description
I head back to university teaching tomorrow—and I know many teachers and students who are already back at it. In honor of this back-to-school season, here's an episode on a wild and wonderful song by New-York-based composers Lainie Fefferman and Jascha Narveson. In addition to composing a wide variety of music as individual artists, they are part of a synth-pop duo called The Beverage Station. The duo will release a full album, including this song, on May 30, 2025, from Gold Bolus Recordings.
Labor Day
Lainie Fefferman
Brand-new faces
Familiar halls
Tracking paces
Feel it in my throat
Bones break
Back aches
I could punch through walls
And then there's you
Heart explosions
Arms aglow
Big emotions
Pack up its time to go
Hours come
Seconds go
Cut to my fun walk home
Where there is you
Familiar faces
Brand-new halls
Making spaces
Sharing all I love
Calm comes
Back stroke
Keeping tallies of smiles and cheers
I know I've lost what I'm doing here
