Following the release of “Better Angels,” The Menzingers are back with the title track from their upcoming album, Everything I Ever Saw, which is set to arrive on July 17 via Epitaph Records.
Guitarist and vocalist Greg Barnett explains, “The album’s about living in the present, especially during life’s big moments. As musicians in a touring band, we’re constantly looking towards the next thing. I felt like I had been living my life like that for a very long time. Then Everything I Ever Saw just clicked. It tied in with all the other songs about being here in the moment and being there for the people that need you.”
He continues, “The answer was right in front of us all along. People have described us as a very nostalgic band. It’s funny because I never saw it that way. It was more so about looking at the past for the answers to the things that you’re trying to understand now. That’s how I feel like our songwriting has always gone. The chorus, ‘I don’t want to relive, I just want to remember everything I ever saw’ sums that bit up. I want to remember all of this and use it in the future to appreciate my life.”
