Sydney Sprague has released another brand-new song that can be found on the upcoming deluxe version of somebody in hell still loves you to be released on September 13 via Rude Records.

“I was fully floored by ‘i tried my best’ when Sydney & company sent it over,” Kevin Devine says on the collaboration. “The strength and specificity of the songwriting, the stellar arrangement and performance choices, the way the woozy, off-kilter sonic template is in close conversation with the destabilization captured in the vivid, evocative lyrics, which manage to balance the danger of getting lost in your own inner maze with a sharp sense of gallows humor about the inevitability of doing exactly that when the world at large is even scarier and more incomprehensible. I’m flattered to take fractional part in helping it come to life and was grateful to be invited to the fucked-up party.”

“Having Kevin Devine on this song is seriously such an honor,” adds Sydney. “It feels very poetic to me because this song came from a place of uncertainty if my music would ever be heard or if there was even a point to making music at all, but now because of it I got to work with one of my favorite artists. I used to rent Kevin’s CDs from the library in high school and college and listen to them on repeat in my car, and now I get to hear him sing words I wrote. I’ll just never get over it! I love the way he sounds on it, it turned out to be my favorite song on the record.”
