RAYNE JOHNSON HITS US WITH A FEW OF HIS FAVORITE “FIRSTS” AND “LASTS”.
HIS NEW SINGLE “LAST NAME” IS NOW AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE! STREAM BELOW.
FIRST CAR
WHEN I WAS 14 I STARTED MOWING LAWNS TO START SAVING MONEY....ABOUT A YEAR LATER ON THE WAY TO CHURCH I SAY A WHITE 1989 GMC JIMMY SITTING ON A USED CAR LOT AND TOLD MY DAD I WANTED IT...AT 15 1/2 MY DAD TOOK ME THERE WITH THE MONEY I’D SAVED AND WE BOUGHT IT! I CLEANED OUT OUR GARAGE THAT NO CAR HAD EVER BEEN IN AND I PULLED IT IN....CLEANED AND SAT IN IT LISTENING TO MUSIC FOR 6 MONTHS UNTIL I COULD DRIVE.
LAST CAR
FAST FORWARD TO A 2 YEARS AGO I STARTED SAVING AGAIN FOR MY DREAM CAR...WHITE 6 SPEED JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED! A YEAR LATER I DROVE 4 1/2 HRS TO CLEVELAND, OHIO AND PAYED CASH FOR ONE I FOUND.
FIRST CAMPING TRIP
AT THE TIME I DIDN’T KNOW IT BUT WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS PRETTY POOR SO TENT CAMPING BECAME OUR VACATIONS FOR YEARS. MY FIRST TIME CAMPING WAS WITH MY MOTHER AND FATHER AT A STATE PARK CALLED HUSTON WOODS. MY MOM WAS THE BEST COOK EVER SO I REMEMBER CAMP STOVE MEALS AND BIKE RIDES VIVIDLY!
LAST CAMPING TRIP
MY WIFE AND I TOOK A TRIP TO RED RIVER GORGE AND BACKPACKED 11 MILES AND DID AN OVERNIGHT CAMP! NOW THAT I’M A LITTLE OLDER I’VE TRADED THE CAMPGROUND BIKE RIDES FOR LONG HIKES AND CAMPING IN THE MOUNTAINS.
LAST DRINK
LATELY MY WIFE HAS BEEN ON A KICK OF MAKING AVIATORS, AKA “THE AVIATION.” ITS A CLASSIC COCKTAIL MADE WITH GIN, MARASCHINO LIQUEUR, CRÈCHE DE VIOLETTE, AND LEMON JUICE. I ALSO TEND TO DRINK CAPTAIN MORGAN AND PINEAPPLE JUICE WITH A SPLASH OF CHERRY.
FIRST SONG
YOU’RE MAKING ME REACH WAY BACK FOR THIS ONE. FIRST SONG I WROTE WAS CALLED "LOVE IS THE ANSWER." I WAS YOUNG, IT WAS SIMPLE BUT HAD GOOD MEANING. LYRICALLY, IT JUST ENCOURAGED THAT JUDGMENT AND HATE AREN’T THE ANSWER, BUT LOVE IS!”
