In 2019, at a concert in Northampton at the Pearl Street Nightclub, Samuel T. Herring said:
“This is a song about putting everything into your car or your van and getting away from all the toxic things in your life […] cuz sometimes you have to go.”
Hit the Coast Lyrics
I can’t feel
I can’t feel, for you
I’m just fine, as is
I don’t mind if that’s it
If I can’t feel
I can’t fight

But I’m flying and free
And I’m not crying
But I can’t even look to think
Hit the coast
Hit the coast
Hit the coast
Hit the coast
Driving, in silence
In my car
It’s all that I can take
And nothing I could do
I put my whole life
In my car
When you go
Just take what you can take
And change what you can do
I'll hit the coast

I played a loop through the vocal mic, recorded that, and then we laced it in. If you listen back, right when I say that line, ‘Pressing p...
