Skinny Dippers – Past Selves
“The ringing and rustle of percussion, the vibrations of guitar strings and the atmosphere of the classic indie rock. There is nothing impossible, everything is achievable and everything, it would seem, invisible faces of the unknown has long been blurred. There was only music -Skinny Dippers-, which accompanies you at this very second.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Звон и шелест перкуссии, вибрации гитарных струн и атмосфера классического Indie Rock. Нет ничего невозможного, всё достижимо и все, казалось бы, невидимые грани непознанного уже давно размыты. Осталась лишь музыка -Skinny Dippers-, которая сопровождает вас в эту самую секунду.”

Past Selves is the final single from Skinny Dipper's debut album The Town & The City. The song uses the second person perspective to think about all of the different versions of ourselves and how we change over time. The protagonist looks back on the wild memories from his younger days, but realizes he's outgrown the shenanigans and in retrospect they just seem like silly distractions.
