Soccer Mommy Scored In The Music World With The Release Of Her New 7"

By stripping the song down to its core you can fully appreciate it for what it was meant to be.

On October 19th, Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) is releasing her new 7" in two versions. There is the limited edition red smoke vinyl with only 500 copies available and then the regular black vinyl. But no matter which copy you get your hands on, the 7" will contain a re-worked version of her song "Henry" off of her "For Young Hearts" collection on its A-side. Then there will be a cover of Bruce Springsteen's song "I'm On Fire" on its B-side. You can grab your copy of Soccer Mommy's Henry/I'm On Fire 7" from Fat Possum Records here.

Allison re-worked "Henry" but didn't change it in any drastic ways. The only major difference is that it has been slowed down. The same can be said for her cover of "I'm On Fire." She changed Springsteen's song into a song that is much rawer and emotional. Allison does this because she "wanted to make a version of 'I'm On Fire' that connected with the sadness of the song." By stripping the song down to its core you can fully appreciate it for what it was meant to be. If you didn't know any better you could believe that this was just another one of Soccer Mommy's songs since the lyrics fit so cleanly into her "chill but sad" style which she defines herself as on her Bandcamp. It's no wonder this cover was a fan favorite whenever Allison performed it on tour.

To hear the difference between songs you can click here for Springsteen's version and here to listen to Allison's cover. And while you wait for your copy of the 7" you can listen to "Henry" here. Soccer Mommy will also be on tour until February 2019.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
