Put a scrambler or a hard tail in that picture and I’d be down for a death deed.

In my head these two songs go together like bangers and mash, and one makes me think of the other as I recall riding with my dad in a 67 Buick Skylark, skin stuck to the vinyl bench seat with no AC, in the exhaust filled stifling dead heat of summer, down to the docks to go boating. It’s not the memory, but the feeling that brings these songs together. Nothing is ever perfect, but there is something good about that too, if you choose to find it.  Besides, by the time you get to perfect, it’s done gone and changed when you weren’t looking.
