Cap in the Air

by Max Solano

A two-song single about the unsung milestones: graduation day and the pride nobody applauds.

Tracks

  1. 1. Cap in the Air, Mama in the CrowdTight shoes, long gown and a mother who found her seat an hour early. I tried to put the whole room in three minutes.pop, anthemic pop, nostalgic pop2:16
  2. 2. Quiet PrideFor everyone who did the job right and went home without applause. I kept the arrangement almost bare, so it wouldn't be loud about it.soul-pop, hushed soul2:54

Liner notes

I wrote the A-side for my cousin's graduation, with her mother crying in the third row. Then the B-side came the next morning, about the work we do that never gets a banner or a band. They are two sides of the same pride, so I put them on one record.
