Featured Tune: "So Long" from Goddamn Wolves

Quarantine Blues with a Harmonic Hug

Goddamn Wolves' latest track “So Long” feels like a letter you find months after it was written—warm, wistful, and surprisingly comforting. Born out of the hush and isolation of the COVID quarantine, this indie rock gem from Raleigh’s favorite trio turns a shared global melancholy into something deeply personal and undeniably catchy.

From the first jangly guitar strums, “So Long” pulls you into a space between reflection and release. Chris Weilding and Laura McCullough trade off vocals like close friends finishing each other’s thoughts, their harmonies weaving a bittersweet tapestry of what it means to miss someone, or something, you can’t quite name. There’s a quiet ache in the lyrics, but the melodies lift the mood just enough to make the sadness feel like an old friend—familiar and oddly soothing.

Drew Foglia’s drums, recorded live for the first time on this track, bring a heartbeat to the song that previous demos lacked. It’s steady, inventive, and gives the track its new legs. But the real kicker? That outro. A glowing, three-part harmony that feels like standing under street lights with your best people after a long night, quietly saying, “We made it.”

“So Long” is indie rock with soul—raw, melodic, and full of heart. Goddamn Wolves don’t just write songs; they write moments. And this one lingers.
