"Fuzzy" started out as a rock 'n roll, sun's out, windows down, volume's up, and you don't care where you're headed kind of beat from Brandon Burr. Brandon passed the beat along to Spencer Riley Alfonso where this light hearted rock instrumental took on an additional layer with the lyrics. Inspired by memoirs of soldiers, rockstars, and the death of the 1960's, "Fuzzy" paints a mirage of words conjuring pictures of the American dream juxtaposed with the dissapointing reality of life. There is no "clear-headed" revelations in lyrics or the music, just a fuzzy idea of what's it like to see a dream die in front of you.
