Hiding Place

I can feel the world spinning but it doesn't feel quite right
I don't know what I need more of but there's not enough inside
I don't think I know the answers I don't think they're in the skies
I don't know what I am feeling but I see it in your eyes
Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place
It's ok the world can wait while we escape
Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place
We can find a better way to pass the time
(Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling take me to your...)
I can feel the world spinning but it doesn't feel quite right
I don't know what I need more of but there's not enough inside
I don't think I know the answers I don't think they're in the skies

Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place
It's ok the world can wait while we escape
Take me there up the stairs to your hiding place
We can find a better way to pass the time
(Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling take me to your...)
Honey honey, when will you take me take me
Beyond the daydreams daydreams
We'll be free
We can do such lovely things oh
We can dance and we can sing together
Darling, oh darling, oh darling take me to your

I really love you and I mean you
The star above you crystal blue
Well oh baby my hair's on end about you

where are you today?
03:59

When we part, when you leave, something falls away
I have nothing, I am nothing, when you go away
It seems so long since only yesterday
Nothing's as it should be since only yesterday
Everything falls away the sky turns grey
Cos things are not okay when you go away
I just wanna hear you say my name
Why'd you go away? Where are you today?
Before you came, I was always
Stuck behind a stare, trapped in this nowhere
Get sick of them, sick of me
You're the only one, I can be around I
Couldn't see a way out but then you came
You saved me from myself when you came
You're the thing that holds my broken shards in place
Without you there to catch me I fall back to those ways
And it is not a case of wanting it's that I need you, yes I do
cos things are not okay when you go away
Living's not the same without you here to take the pain away
Why'd you go away? Where are you today?

I made some excuse about how this was all too soon
Said I need a little time to get myself in tune
I gave you some line about how life gets in the way
How about we disregard that let's just take it day by day
All this inertia I know it hurts ya
Don't even feel like a real person
I need a reason I need a purpose
Time goes so quickly I'm still learning
Let's fall in love
Just because
It feels so good
When you look at me
Let's fall in love
Just for the sake of it
People tell me I'm not healthy wrapped in love's cocoon
I can't help that I just wanna while away my days with you
And the world never did have much to offer me
We have it all in here though, will you be my everything?
All this inertia I know it hurts ya
Don't even feel like a real person
I need a reason I need a purpose
Time goes so quickly I'm still learning
Let's fall in love
Just because
It feels so good
When you look at me
Let's fall in love
Just for the sake of it
And I'm still learning
And I'm still learning
And I'm still learning
Time goes so quickly
And I'm still learning

on the other side
i'll meet you by the pond
when the reeds are tall
and the days are long
it comes so easily
it gets its arrow deep
like strawberry daiquiri
(on the other side, I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there..)

next to you

these autumn blues descending and
you've given up pretending and
the terms they are a-changing and
suddenly you're a stranger and
what happened to the summer when
we'd snooze side by side til sundown
what am I sposed to do?
just wanna be next to you
oo
where where you when i needed you
you left me hanging left me to
the sweetest pain
but still it's true
just wanna be next to you
oo.. oo.. oo.. ah
it's not too late for you to come to me
i'll open heart and arms and legs to thee
cos i'm addicted to the love you've given me
oh baby
and it'll take as long as it'll take
with open heart and arms and legs i'll wait
cos i'm dependent on the love you've given me
oh baby
just gotta be next to you

said you needed space
I'm getting in the way
you just need some time
to play your little games
gazing into new
extraordinary eyes
questioning your sacrifice
so go swig your southern comfort
in the shady depths
seeking validation
from the fairer sex
guess it's not enough that
I say you're the best
don't I mean anything?
we can't have it all
we can't have it all
(can you remember when we met
I can remember how it felt
remember how you looked at me
doesn't our love mean anything?
what about all the things we've said?
what about all the years we've spent?
I thought we always would be friends
how could this really be the end?

let's leave now quickly it's getting loud in here
when it's just us 2 nothing interferes
when you're sad like me it keeps it beautiful
we'll outrun the comedown if we go fast enough
we'll pass days in sea caves on heaven's honeymoon
narcotic children's laughter keeps us up
we're only happy we only care so much
the birdie told me to only bear so much
(we're past the honey moon..)

Sugar Rush
04:12
|

Today I found an empty house, I wandered in and looked around
It was cold the rooms were large, They echoed with every sound
I climbed the stairs right to the top, The window was open and
I looked down to the ground it seemed so far away
I leaned out I thought about plummeting down
But it would make such a mess so I caught my breath
Looked up instead, above my head, there's so much space
But I'm stuck here on these two legs, in this heavy head
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I'm on the up but soon I will crash
Give me a reason to carry on I will fly and soar
Sometimes it feels like it's getting too much
Can't seem to handle my sugar rush
Darling please stay here and catch me because I'm about to fall
You're the only one that I need
You're the only one that I see

Don't kid yourself my love
What you say is not enough
So much older than our years
I thought we'd seen everything now it doesn't mean anything
Still you say all the right things at the right time
usually when you've crossed a line
why blow, so hot and cold? it's getting old
you change your mind all of the time
sooo I don't know whether to stay
whether to go please let me know
darling why can't it be easy lovely carefree
Stir crazy once again
the old ball and chain (thought we'd seen everything now it doesn't mean anything)
maybe we've spent long enough
anaesthetized by love
Still you say all the right things at the right time
usually when you've crossed a line
why blow, so hot and cold? it's getting old
you change your mind all of the time
sooo I don't know whether to stay
whether to go please let me know
baby why can't it be easy lovely carefree
could it really be
we're not meant to be
you're not meant for me
despite how much you meant to me
what m'i sposed to do
with all this love for you
s'got me feeling blue
forever i'll be feeling you
so will you ever will you
will you ever let me know
whether i should stay or go
never felt so low
how m'i gonna let you go?
la la la la
how m'i gonna let you go?
easy lovely carefree

Sleep

Is anybody out there
Can anyone hear me?
Is anyone awake
Can't just be me that can't sleep
Will you sing
A lullaby for me
Will you bring
A way to make me dream
When everyone is fast asleep
It starts to feel like no one in the world loves me
Thought I knew lonely
But this is a new low
Thought I was ok
But I can't seem to slow down
Goodnight can you hear me
Goodbye to waking agony
Goodnight and sweet dreams
Drift in to sleep
Good night go to sleep
Goodnight can you hear me
Goodbye to waking agony
Goodnight and sweet dreams
Drift in to sleep, slow down

Trippy, glitchy, experimental sadpop from Dec (John Hurt), lyricist/guitarist/coproducer behind 'Razor' and 'Ignorance Is Bliss' who went on to do many great things and develop an exquisite palette.
go to album
Serene magic that feels/sounds both micro (of the brain) and cosmic. Texturally and zingy.. like when the percussive beat undulates more heavily or abrasively in Delta. Perfect late evening listening

Eerie and mystical tunes from musician and visual artist Julie Crawford that fuse art pop with goth sensibilities.

California’s Fawns of Love write heavenly pop songs surrounded by cloudlike layers of synth and tied up in silvery guitar lines.

Lush, dreamy dark pop from Chicago that most certainly evokes the city's grey, humid summer haze.
