about

It listens like a movie. The soundscape is fantastical and takes you on a journey from flea markets to the oceanside, from bustling crowds to your back garden, a familiar sense of comfort but evolution in the songs duality. Ultimately you are lead in, pulled down into the song and grounded. The lyric “All your weight lifted off” demonstrates the heaviness of life being lifted off your shoulders - when you have been travelling for a long time, and someone offers to carry your burden, even for a bit. That sudden clarity, when nothing is clouding your judgement.

lyrics

I’ll be gentle
Guide you through the walls of time
Twisting turning outside your eyeline
Cluttered pieces
broken while you try to be sufficient
for no one in particular
follow the candle
Take the hand that reaches out to help you wanting
nothing nothing in return

sing you to sleep
my darling i will sing you to sleep
through your panic and dreams empty
sing you to sleep
my darling i will sing you to sleep
through your panic and dreams empty

kuinka voisin koskaan olla yksinäni ihminen
Tarviin sun lämpöö kerro mulle mitä haluat

whisper sweet nothings
tell me everything thats wrong
while i lead you to your end
listen to the sweetest song

Sombras que vienen me arrastran al fondo del mar

Gold coast, cold host
Deeper then the trenches
look at this heart can you see the floor
like the deepest gulfs, Mariana
If this is family then what is ohana
look at this heart can you see the floor
look at this
look at this heart can you see a door
look at this heart can you see the floor
look at this
look at this heart can you see a door

kuinka voisin koskaan olla yksinäni ihminen
Tarviin sun lämpöö kerro mulle mitä haluat

lead you in
pull you down
all your weight
lifted off
