“The ending has samples of our younger family members laughing and shouting ‘best days’ with their entire life ahead of them,” explains Jackie Andrade. “The addition of these samples adds another interesting layer to the song. When were your best days? Childhood? Or are they happening right now?”

“Maybe the best days are gone

The duo, aptly named Jackie and her brother, decided to work on several songs that remained unfinished and forgotten. Jackie and Mark Andrade make emotional, reflective music from their home studio with a DIY sound and aesthetic.
