Gotta find yourself a place to level out.

connyxoberst asked: hey zack, just wondering if you can enlighten us about the crying girl with the snake and violin t-shirt design. what song/album is it supposed to be paired with? much debating has been done with little answers. thanks so much!

zacknipper:

Hi! I don’t have an exact date, but I’m pretty sure that came out at the release of “Lifted” or maybe a little before that. You guys probably already know this, but our friend Kaite did that design (along with the Bright Eyes “Bats” shirt). She also did the linocuts on Lifted, which are awesome. She is the Kaite of the Son, Ambulance song “Kaite Come True” from Oh Holy Fools. She’s a rad person.

Edited to add: I’m not sure it was actually paired with that album. I think it was inspired by the line “I know a girl who cries when she practices violin”, but not positive. So it might have been first sold between 2001 and 2002 (between Oh Holy Fools and Lifted).

thank you so much zack <3 i thought it was from the going from the gold lyrics but i wasnt positive
