Tents – “Back Yards” Badman Recording Co. – Official Music Video
Artist city, country: Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.
Artist Biography: TENTS is a Portland based comfort-pop quartet currently touring in support of their forthcoming full-length ‘Deer Keeps Pace’ (Badman Recording Co.).
The title track from their debut LP ‘Deer Keeps Pace’ depicts a wild animal playfully running in stride with an old station wagon. The deer is a commentary on the constant threads in life. The ideas, feelings, and moments that stick with us and carry us through.
TENTS built this record piece by piece as a crew in their Back Yard studio. More often than not, their songs are written live during stretches of deep studio time, improvising and responding intuitively to one another.
Lead track “Backyards” has already received commercial airplay on Portland, OR’s KINK FM radio station. KINK named TENTS “Artist of the Week.”
“[Amy’s] background harmonies seem to echo a response to lead swooner Brian Hall’s optimistic, high visions of warmth and love unhindered. His own nonchalant, coffee sipping swagger carries a subtly-smooth country rhythm that gently layers with an underlying sense of melancholic fuzz.” – All Things Go
About the Video: “This song is about on addiction as a destructive force, family as an uplifting force, and the two kind of, at battle with each other. I wrote this song when I was really sick. Not sleeping as much as I should, out drinking with buds on work nights. Turns out I have an autoimmune disease. Geez. So much body shit. In the end of this song, in the bridge, things take a turn a bit. It’s sort of like hapless, helpless, ironic ecstasy. But then also in there is a moment of letting go, which for me at the time very much resembled me shedding the addiction and allowing myself to enjoy my family.”

Song Lyrics: “Back Yards”
Summer time
I awaken and I’m coming down
All these vices and my vigor’s fading out
Tell my baby I will always be around (I will always be around)
Beggar with a tall drink
Man about town don’t know
Chipping off the years he
Don’t get it don’t get it don’t know
Baby’s in the bed sheets
Momma’s in the backyard singing so sweet
Take another tall drink
Don’t go don’t go you don’t get it no
In a board book
Little orphan boy just tryin’ to work it out
All those fixes he’s just choking out the hound
Tell my baby I will always be around (I will always be around)
Beggar with a tall drink
Man about town don’t know
Chipping off the years he
Don’t get it don’t get it don’t know
Baby’s in the bedsheets
Momma’s in the backyard singing so sweet
Take another tall drink
Don’t go don’t don’t don’t go you don’t get it no!
I remember when my body was a racehorse singin’
Ale Ale
I’m not quite six feet under
I surrender to the lightning and the thunder screamin’
Ale Ale Ale Ale Ale
