Fast forward about a decade and I met Anthony working at a Guitar Store. We started a band together. For about six months we tried out singers to no avail until one day Anthony told me to suck it up and just sing for the damn band already. We grinded as a local band for years and although we managed to pack out our local venue, the music industry never caught onto us. After our last show, Anthony sold his drum set and told me he wanted to just play acoustic stuff from now on. So we charged our credit cards and flew across the country to make a full length record. That record is called Clouded (Deluxe Edition) and it changed our lives. 2016 comes around and we get back into the studio with a batch of songs totally unlike our first record. That record is called Low Tides.
And so here we are today. Our producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Vance Joy) helped us explore unique instrumentation. I hate it when bands tell you their new record is their “best shit yet” or “more mature”. That’s not for them to decide, it’s for the listener. And so I leave you with our record Petaluma. It’s our best shit yet

Catie Rae
This Wild Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Despite living fast
I've never been in the best condition
I'm running out of gas
I've never been good at admitting
Mistakes in my past
I've never had a sense of direction
Until I met ya
Well hey hey Catie Rae
I met you on a summer day
And felt something I can't explain
You've always been just what I'm missin
But never ever knew
You've always earned just what you're given
Never handed to you
You'll always be my best decision
My one and only truth
You'll always be my heartbeat my rhythm
It's always been you
Well hey hey Catie Rae
We've lost some friends along the way
But we found love that's here to stay
Well hey hey Catie Rae
I swear there'll be a ring someday
But right now dreams don't really pay
Well hey hey Catie Rae
I missed our anniversary
But you still love me anyway
Well hey hey Catie Rae
You're sassier than shit today
But I still love you anyway
Yeah I still love you anyway
The lyrics to "Catie Rae" by This Wild Life delve into the songwriter's reflections on their past, their journey toward self-improvement, and the transformative power of love.

However, they admit that dreams don't always align with financial reality, indicating that they may not be able to fulfill that promise at the moment.
The final part of the song showcases the imperfections and quirks within their relationship. Despite missing their anniversary and Catie Rae's sassy mood, the songwriter emphasizes that their love remains unaffected, and they still love each other deeply.

The style put into these music videos honestly complements the song so well. Yet another beautiful song by TWL. So far not disappointed at all in this new album

Big Soup i agree. The only thing that I'm confused about is why their costumes switch into what appears to be prisoners when "the woman" disappears. Legit thought they killed her for a second lol
