Trampoline

Shaed (pronounced "shade") is an electro-pop trio based in Washington, DC. The group consists of lead vocalist Chelsea Lee and multi-instrumentalist twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst.

The first two lines of this song were inspired by the Ernst brothers visiting their parents and watching old home videos. One of the films showed the 2-year-old Max and Spencer jumping on a trampoline. I've been havin' dreams Jumpin' on a trampoline Lee explained to Genius: "The footage is grainy and distorted though, so it almost feels like you are witnessing a dream when you watch it." That opening line got the wheels turning for the rest of song, which evolved into a story about embracing and falling in love with the trio's biggest fears.

Much of the lyrical content was inspired by the scene outside the Washington, DC home that all three band members share. "We have a studio in our house, and it's the biggest room in the house, and it has a great big window, we have a really nice front yard," Lee explained to ABC Radio. "So we were trying to think about lyrics, and we were looking outside and soaking in the nature that we had outside the window: the trees, the leaves were falling."
