driving into the sun

daddy's money was designed as an all expenses paid trip for you and your friends to fly to sonic paradise. made with only luxury materials from London, Paris, New York, and Amalfi, there's no better way to bring you and your special someone to that sweet, summer soaked place you could only dream of before.

it was my last day in Italy and i had reserved a 125cc Vespa to take around town exploring Naples. when i got to the rental place though, i was informed they had messed up and rented the scooter to someone else. the only one they had left was 300cc, and was ready to be picked up a few miles away at the airport. i had met this girl while i was in croatia that ended up in italy with us, and since she had nothing to do that day she asked to tag along for whatever roads my two wheels ended up on. so we hopped in a Fiat and went to the airport to grab the freeway legal Vespa.

it was there that i found out that the Amalfi Coast was 40 minutes away, and since i had been dreaming of riding a moped down its winding roads since i was a kid, i took one look at my co-pilot and told her to hold on tight. 

we followed the Italian road signs as best we could and after making a few wrong turns we ended up in Amalfi, drinking Aperol Spritzes in the ocean. we went all the way to Sorento, after after another Aperol we made the impulse decision to get matching Vespa tattoos.

by the time we finished, it was about an hour til sundown, so we started making our way back to Naples for dinner with some friends. Naples is more or less West of Amalfi, which meant i was literally driving into the sun. i was nervous and crazy focused, and this song started looping in my head. i asked olivia to take my phone out and start a voice memo, and right there, on the highway of Naples, driving into the sun was born. i didn't change a single word from that initial recording, which i ended up sampling throughout the song.

this is the last song on daddy's money, but daddy's money has no ending. daddy's money is infinite, and daddy's money is for the people. long live daddy's money.
