"My Boy" is the first track in Car Seat Headrest’s album “Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)”.
It describes some kind of romantic relationship between the narrator (Will Toledo) and another person (“My boy”), and presents what many will call “the fantasy” to which the title of this album refers – that Will and the one he loves, in time, won’t be alone. This fantasy is later elaborated in songs like "Beach Life-In-Death".
From Will’s interview with Peyton Thomas:
"we lucked out and found Adam right when we needed to start – he’d produced a track for a band that got sent over as a potential opener for one of our shows there. it was a dense track but there was a sort of clarity to it, which is exactly what i wanted. so we got in touch and booked a session at Adam’s studio, Decade Studios, while we were in town, and that was when we recorded My Boy
we did the vocals later, but the instrumental we did that day
actually the vocals for that track were hard to get right, we went through a lot of takes – it’s a difficult song to sing because of the range of it
it’s pegged down more to the 60s vibe. that was the first genre I really connected with, I guess – that era of music
so, making a record that in a way deals with ideas brought up from a very young age, it made sense to start that way"
