about

The featured song of the EP. An old song, originally written just verse / chorus on acoustic arpeggios. Briefly performed live in a band, but in a very different arrangement. Like Night-Time Storm, another song thinking about the sea and rain at night. I have a memory of sitting in my room in our rental on a road running south of St James's Street, at night, with the window open, where you could be hearing the noise of the wind or the traffic from Marine Parade, but you also hear it as the sea just a little further away. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. I recorded me doing some bad beat-boxing for Olli to start working on the beat, and we decided to fold it in to the overall mix. The vocoder is all Olli's idea and I love it. Likewise the guitar in the second chorus. Of all the songs on the EP, this one makes me want to dance the most (at some kind of sad disco).

It's not very tight lyrically, more working with imagery and feels. Breakups, the sea, the city, climate breakdown — the usual.

lyrics

Opened up a faltering stare
Care that falls
Full of this he shouldn't call
Disquiet

Become what's yours
Open through
See his remorse
Fall from you

Water's edge as sharp as stones
Break his waves
Swell and rive against his shore
Moonlit hour

Become what's yours
Open through
See his remorse
Fall from you

As the water rises high
Hidden depths and forceful lies
Momentarily become
The lunatic who's on the run
Oceans flex, hills sustain
Caught on the edges of the frame
There's nowhere else for you to go
In soft decline you slip below

Become what's yours
Open through
See his remorse
Fall from you
