My Old Lifestyle

Here’s the “classic” Missing Teens version of My Old Lifestyle. The new version is coming soon, on the soundtrack album for The Power of the Crystalsm, which is coming soon. I love both versions! But then again, I LOVE MYSELF.

This song is co-written with Adam Reiter. Note the use of just ONE instance of Sculpture to achieve so much. Guitar by Spencer Chakedis and the original German Cars vs. American Homes guitarist, Jared “Fluffycombs” Rock. Also with the drums of Darren Jones and bass of Dave Tirolo, and once again, the Porn Horns! Thanks to Sanford Kent Livingston and Mike Weber for the mix notes on this tune.
