lyrics

Waking up inside your house
Trying catch the warmth that you left on the indent of your bed sheets

You're 17, a silk desire
So set it on fire
With me

Meet me by the fountain
Reflecting pool
You shake the feathers on your gray hat
And brush the beads of rain up off your shoulder

You're a dorm room desire
We'll set it on fire
Again

Roll down the windows and we'll drive
Skipping town to Salem tonight
You knit a present and stuffed it up
It's haunting and it chokes me up but it's harmless
Nothing was as scary as me
On that sweet fall evening
So wipe the tears off your wrinkled sleeve
And take that necklace off
It's just a memory

Much like me

Lock me up in that drawer you put it in
It was easy enough for you

Plastic Waves
by Plastic Waves

This awesome mix of dreamy, hazy and often 'rockin' indie psych pop is full of great moments; Intricate production, warped guitars, lush synths and solid indie sad-boy songwriting. Listen to it! The Colonnade

I/O marked the peak of my post-rock phase and this band is to this day my favorite in this genre. Their Debut Saudade and following Album Anyone, Anywhere should be in everyones favorites. Sebastian Kluge

'Sinking Feeling' (Nobody Hates You version) was on a playlist I made for a 2014 trip to Hawaii. It's a great tune that makes me happy. This comp is an insanely good deal, get it theMichaelFrank
