Hi Our Basement,

It’s Devan! I am so excited for you to hear “Real Shot” today, and share a preview of my new solo project.

You may be familiar with my other band Wild Rivers, but this is a totally different sound for me and I hope you enjoy it.

“Real Shot” is written from the perspective of someone looking back on an old relationship, considering what things would have been like if it had played out differently.

Growing out of relationships and gaining more perspective on each situation can leave you wondering — what if we were older and more mature, and didn’t let things fall apart? Where would we be now?

There’s nothing worse than regretting what you could have done or said. It’s often easy to take a backseat in your own life and half-ass things in the name of comfort, but that’ll come back to bite you in the long run.

I am a very nostalgic person — it’s both a blessing and a curse, but I decided to lean into that curiosity for this song. Produced by Adam Boukis (Timbaland, Icona Pop, Saweetie, and Bruno Martini), we co-wrote “Real Shot” with our friends Kyle Reynolds and Tyler Shamy.

Let’s be present and embrace whatever comes our way.

Thank you for listening,
Devan
