By and By

The title track of By & By, track eleven.
Caamp, from By & By (2019)

Tone Deaf credits Meier and Westfall as writers. Wikipedia's chart table lists an adult alternative peak of 12 and an RIAA Gold certification, which we could not confirm on the RIAA site. The Gloriously Tight newsletter reads it as lost love and regret, written by Meier after a road trip, with lyrics about driving through West Virginia, coffee and physical and emotional numbness, and a shift from your mind to her mind in the last verse, with the banjo and electric guitar interplaying. That is a reader's interpretation, and we found no band statement. The author says it went largely unnoticed in 2019 and gained attention in 2020.

Setlist.fm holds about 376 Caamp setlists but we could not retrieve a count for this song. We found no video, covers or samples, and we assume our upload is the album version.
