“T-Shirt” was the second song Morris and I produced and released.

At this point, we were becoming a dynamic duo. After “Butterflies,” I realized I could produce more of what I had written, and “T-Shirt” seemed like the apparent next release. I wrote “T-Shirt” a couple of years after “Butterflies,” but it was also written at camp. 

Morris and I decided to explore the range of synths and effects we had access to, and we enjoyed using this song to familiarize ourselves further with audio production. 

“T-Shirt” is unique in that it is more ethereal than my other songs. The song was created to feel like a lullaby or a weighted blanket, contrasting with its message. At its core, “T-Shirt” is a breakup song written about a relationship that perhaps never existed. As we produced the song, we tried to emphasize the reverb of my vocal tracks and have that reflect in the instrumental track, creating what sort of sounds like a fuzzy echo chamber. Mind you, we were 16-year-olds trying to do what many people work a lifetime at. But, all things considered, I think we did a pretty good job.
