If you've ever let us play you music, you know we have mewithoutYou on almost every playlist. Saying \"goodbye\" (in the fullness of whatever the word really means) is nearly impossible. In this episode, we talk about how the band became a philosophy, and how something can end… without ever really ending. From early days of discovering <em>A→B Life</em> to <em>[Untitled]</em>, Mike walks us through the life of mewithoutYou. At its core, this episode means a lot to us, and is one that we've held for a long time. We're so grateful he joined us, and that you care enough to keep listening.
