[Verse]
Back on your back
I cursed the lovers and the fools who rush in
The spring in their steps
Hot heavy summers and their pools to bathe in
[Pre]
I need to lay my body down
Oh how they took me out
[Chorus]
His jacket sleeves over her shoulders should set the world alight
I need somebody to call
I wish the dreams of mine were different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking
I want the evening to be over, I’m just a little tired
I need somebody to call
I wish the face of mine looked different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking
[Verse]
Back on your back
I dreamt the colors of their hearts unfolding
Like flowers in the sun
I spent that morning with my stomach turning
[Pre]
I need to lay my body down, oh
Oh how they took me out
[Chorus]
His jacket sleeves over her shoulders should set the world alight
I need somebody to call
I wish the dreams of mine were different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking
I want the evening to be over, I’m just a little tired
I need somebody to call
I wish the face of mine looked different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking

[Verse]
Counting ticks from the clock
It's a morning too modest
She's finding parts of my face
Funny looking and anxious
[Pre]
It's a cruel world before the eyes of these posh innocents
I would use her to stay alive if the ground were to bend
[Chorus]
And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin
She falls flat on the bed again
Mutters something about the end
While covering her eyes with both her hands
I, on the other hand
I feel fine with the way I am
I awoke to her elegance
I’ve figured out a way to make amends
[Verse]
”Could you cut open all of my chest?
I'm already too restless
Of course I'm feeling depressed
Find a way we could use it”
[Pre]
It's a cruel world before the eyes of these posh innocents
I would use her to stay alive if the ground were to bend
[Chorus]
And baby pulls her hair for a Vicodin
She falls flat on the bed again
Mutters something about the end
While covering her eyes with both her hands
I, on the other hand
I feel fine with the way I am
I awoke to her elegance
I’ve figured out a way to make amends
[Bridge]
My my my
We’re pretenders
We’re beaming
We’re the signs of our time
My my
Oh whatever

[Verse]
You picked the shirt that I'm wearing
Ah did you not honey love
And all the hipsters and has-beens
Well, they can all just fuck off
And it's been eating my heart out
And now it's gone to my head
That we have peaked for some months now
And this is all gonna end
[Chorus]
And now she's waiting in the hall
Yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all
You worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down
Darling, we're picking up speed
[Verse]
And all the shit that I'm talking
It's just nonsense and slurs
But I'll be fun around your friends
Oh they're glad for their girl
Yeah we can put on a show huh
And are you proud of me then
You know I love how you hold us
In the palm of your hand
Darling, we're picking up speed
[Chorus]
And now she's waiting in the hall
Yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all
You worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down
[Verse]
You picked the shirt that I'm wearing
Ah did you not honey love
Cuz you got great taste in fashion
And surely I, I have none

[Verse]
Sweet love
I found it
I’ll tell everybody I know
The real love
Astounded
On edges
As I wait
[Chorus]
Buying us two coffee to go
Talking down alleys and roads
Glancing as we’re passing windows
Baby we’re adorable
[Verse]
And you’re sweet, love
High maintenance and jealous
Nearly delirious
I guess that makes two of us
But I’ll wait
[Chorus]
Buying us two coffee to go
Arguing down alleys and roads
Glancing as we’re passing windows
Baby we’re adorable
And it’s sweet, love
But I’ll wait
Buying us two coffee to go
Promises of personal growth
Glancing as we’re passing windows
Baby we’re adorable
[Outro]
Oh sweet love
We’ve lost it
To hell with it, say it ain’t so

[Verse]
Baby
Tie my wrist before I hit the sun
Before the backseat
Blows right out throughout the windows gone
[Pre]
Now what's the city and who’s the people
Oh alright
I’m dressed up pretty, real delightful for the night
But I was nearly suicidal before your car arrived
[Chorus]
Moving up to the villas
Kill a bit of time
Prom tomorrow night
Tasting sweet how the wind blows
But get your head inside
I need you here alive
Now what's the city and who’s the people
Oh alright
I’m dressed up pretty, real delightful for the night
Moving up to the villas
Kill a bit of time
Just for one last time
[Verse]
Now maybe
This is the last of what there is to feel
It’s only different places
Poor imitations
Fucking actors trying to speak like she speaks
[Chorus]
Moving up to the villas
Kill a bit of time
Prom tomorrow night
Tasting sweet how the wind blows
But get your head inside
I need you here alive
Now what's the city and who’s the people
Oh alright
I’m dressed up pretty, real delightful for the night
Moving up to the villas
Kill a bit of time
Just for one last time

[Verse]
Waiting til they call your station
Romanticise the small decisions
I’d be there in two minutes walking
Cracks let in a light two seconds
A stranger wears your walk and fragrance
But I overheard a southern accent
[Pre]
Damien calls me with their whereabouts
A park somewhere far out of town
I doubt that I will come around
[Chorus]
This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close
I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own
[Vers]
Everything I see is clouded
With your views and prejudice about it
I guess we covered all that there is
[Pre]
Damien calls me with their whereabouts
He’s been on to me for hours now
Doubt that I will come around
[Ref]
This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close
I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own
You know how I could go about
Every place and every fucker I loathe
I wonder how your day turned out
Mine just turned one hundred years old

[Verse]
Are you bored
Are you happy
I’ve put off the calls for weeks, for months
And they pulled up like a robbery, hey
A trip in the golden hour
I think you know where we’re going
[Pre]
The summer’s in bloom love
You oughta see it go
I know it stress you out though
[Ref]
You picked the shirt that I’m wearing
Now time will tear it
Blue sleepy days, dirty evenings
I let it happen
Now I dangle my feet off the steep end
I watch the group swim the river out
and I felt some type of way
[Verse]
And I’ll drag my body up the stairs, up the loft
There’s a lot of people there that I love
Laughing at the cues when I’m not
I miss your wit awful much
[Pre]
The summer’s in bloom love
You oughta see it go
I know it stress you out though
[Ref]
You picked the shirt that I’m wearing
Now time will tear it
Blue sleepy days, dirty evenings
I let it happen
Now I dangle my feet off the steep end
I watch the group swim the river out
and I felt some type of way

Summer Wine

[Verse]
I’ve been asking questions about the point of things
You know I’m quite obsessed with moving close to the brinks
I see us in the kitchen, I see us on the couch
Slowing down, trying out our summer wine
[Verse]
I’m not looking to the future
Nor the raging past
I’m mostly just watching the days pass
The city’s out for living now
I take my little ways around
The meeting points and louder crowds
[Chorus]
Drive fast
I’m making lists again
Got out, worked out, called a friend
Oh what a day to behold now
Can’t wait to do it all over
Drive fast
I’m about to wither away
Got on some new drugs but they just ache
Oh it would be lovely to hold you
[Bridge]
Oh my lady love
Oh my lady love

Awful Lot of Time
03:46
|
|||
|
[Chorus]
Time
I got an awful lot of time
Kicking it together with my baby in the back of her mind
And it flows down the harbors and the coasts
Painting me her pieces in the ceiling
Writing love dialogue
[Verse]
I’ve labeled her hair as home
And my heart as half
It’s quite simple, I just ask you to save my soul
It’s not that hard
[Ref]
Time
I got an awful lot of time
Kicking it together with my baby in the back of her mind
And it flows up and down and back and forth
Painting me her pieces in the ceiling
Writing love dialogue
[Vers]
All these tears stored for years
Just insane amounts
It's confusing, I don't really strive for anything anymore
And I’m so young
I thought you’d help me through it eventually

[Verse]
Is it by devotion I lead towards implosion for you
Wrote three novels on my tongue
Is it how you open at times and launch us out the solar system
Running through the night
Ah my head ain’t right
[Pre]
Don’t you care for me?
Well it’s waste indeed
[Chorus]
Just to be with you for a while
Just to be with you for a while
[Verse]
Is it by devotion I lead towards implosion for you
Much like fiction are we not
All is put together to entertain and hurt forever
Running through the night
Ah your head ain’t right
[Pre]
Don’t you care for me
Well it’s waste indeed
Don’t you care for me
Well it’s waste indeed
[Chorus]
Just to be with you for a while
Just to be with you for a while
[Outro]
Well it’s all for a cause
Well it’s all sideways
Nothing left to hope for
Nothing to adore

Augustine Stockholm, Sweden
Songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Augustine’s warm combo of soulful falsetto, playful soundscapes and fragile love stories quickly made him one to watch after debuting with ‘Luzon’ in 2019. His retro-scented, bombastic indie-pop is born out of a love for groovy 70s melodies and contemporary chillwave. ... more

Dreamy and soothing pop, light-hearted even in its melancholy moments. Could be a lot less sweet for my taste though.

Yumi Zouma is one of the most underrated artists at the moment. Soft, beautiful, and heartfelt.

The Franco-British artist crafts maximalist pop from a variety of angles, channeling David Bowie, Frank Ocean, and even Phillip Glass.

Händer under vinden
by Simultan
Atmospheric pop music from Sweden, with immediate vocal melodies swaddled in dark textures.

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time.
