All Your Favorite Bands

Dawes

“All Your Favorite Bands” is a slow piano masterpiece from the perspective of a nostalgic songwriter who has lost their childlike innocence.

During a radio interview, band frontman Taylor Goldsmith said of “All Your Favorite Songs”,

It was written about someone who’s kinda taken their first steps into adulthood, and that whole feeling of when you see a niece or a nephew or just like a little brother or something, and they’re still holding onto these dreams and these hopes that life can be very beautiful and very simple and very good, and that all your dreams are going to come true, and that everything is going to be great.

And how beautiful that is, and how much that when we see that in anybody—you know, in some cases, these people could be like fifty years old when they kind of hold on to that feeling of ‘things are going to be wonderful. I’m going to get all the things I deserve.’—and you really want someone to hold onto that."
