we're not alone, dear to make the choices and to see them through but don't suppose, dear that I will make it all the way along with you for I wonder, do my good parts outweigh my faults? and I wonder, have I come too far to just get off? the words have changed, dear but the sentiment remains the same you always let me go, but you never let me know which way that I should go and I wonder, do my good parts outweigh my faults? and I wonder, have I come too far to ever get off? living in a moment, well the moment's come and taken me by storm other people's feelings are contagious and I seem to catch them all so I wonder, do my good parts outweigh my faults? and I wonder, have I come too far to ever get off? and I wonder, do I ever really help myself? and I wonder, do I have what it takes to see this out? I pray I do!

summertime 02:52
summertime, I got dancing in my shoes summertime, I got dancing in my shoes sway with me baby, ain't no reason not to let the sunshine get through to you the delectable night air lifts me off my feet the delectable night air lifts me off my feet I gotta take it all in, in one deep breath do you know me at all? I don't care who you are I don't care what you've done I only want to have us some fun, only want to spend our days in the sun and the sweet summer nights, they go on and on and on the water is warm but the tide will sweep me away the water is warm but the tide will sweep me away oh, let it take me down to the depths, I won't even try to fight for breath oh let it take me down, down, down

fix yourself a drink, lay down by my side we'll cry all through the night, watching the news and sometimes I love you and sometimes I don't and sometimes I just don't know if you can handle that so let's go to heaven or maybe the caribbean we'll sit by the sea and watch as the sun wakes up and if we hold hands, it's nothing personal and if I leave you alone, well, it's not as if I have a choice fix me a smile, wear it all week keep up with the good times baby, get up on your feet if we take it slow, we'll never get anywhere so let's take it slow, we've got nothing better to do let's go to heaven or maybe down the road we'll sit by the sea and watch as the sun goes back to bed sometimes I miss you and sometimes I wish it was me and sometimes I just sit there and I can't do anything at all baby I'm sorry but I guess it's too late for that now I'll sit on the stairs and watch as the world goes by and if we hold hands, it's nothing personal and if I leave you too early, it's not as if I ever had a choice

in the city where I reside there aren't many places to hide from the eyes of another but if you keep close to the ground maybe then you will never be found oh, just lost in the crowd and only from our heads and from our hearts and from our lips come the places we can truly coexist mortality's a sickness eating everybody up and yeah, it's eating me too but I will never fail to last the day until the day that I pass away and you know that is true yet only by my taste and by my touch and by my kiss can I prove to you that I probably exist there is a hunger that goes deeper than the lies I tell hunger in my bones and in my skin and all the in-between places it's always had a hold on me, always kept me trapped in its teeth, I guess I'll stay here

homecoming 03:15
old city, rising up to meet me wrap your arms around me in a warm embrace with a smile on your face the colour of the morning into your arms I'm falling, your returning son oh city, wipe those tears away I'll be in your arms today, peaceful and still oh city that I love, do not think there is another you are the only one for me, oh city where I'm from oh city, soon I will be leaving but don't let me catch you grieving as I spread my wings a prodigal who never learns his lesson I'll wait until you beckon me, then I'll come running home

about

FEATHERWEIGHT SOUL: equal parts swedish indie pop influences and tropical summery flavours, resulting in a sound that is vaguely melancholic and floaty, but also warm and funky.

TAPE: because tape is awesome. LO-FIDELIC.

this EP was recorded in a basement in March 2013, but destined for car stereos and beach barbeques beneath the summer sun.
