I wanna trust enough to touch
just enough to touch
I don't think I'm asking for too much
to trust enough to touch
I'd say I've known it for a while
it's in your face
it's your smile
but giving up's just never been my style
I'd say I've known it for a while
The water doesn't taste like water here
but they'll say that it does
cause it's wet and it's clear
Then there are places where
it's still delicious
but the weather is harsh
and the people are vicious
The thoughtless mind's a minefield
but you can't stand still
no you can't stand still while time heals
I'm tired of being deceived by simple things
and trying to find a truth outside of me
Is there anybody out there?
Been testing my mettle too much these days
testing my mettle too much these days
Is there anybody out there?
Not sure what's life and
what's a crutch these days
testing my mettle too much these days
everything's internal and a maze
everything's internal and amazing
The thoughtless mind's a minefield
but you can't stand still
no you can't stand still
while time heals
I'm tired of being deceived by simple things
and trying to find a truth outside of me
Everything's internal and amazing

Still Like This

It was early in the morning
I caught you snoring
you were sleeping with your hand
over my heart
and I swear that I could
feel it in my dreams
but life's not always still like this
so I try to be grateful every time that it is
no life's not always still like this
so I try
Everything's gonna change
Everything's gonna change
They may send us back to school again
and we'll pass with flying colors
cause we'll always have each other
* * * * * * * *
Life's not always still like this
so I try to be grateful
every time that it is
No life's not always still like this
so I try
so I try

Sleepwalking

If I'm dreaming of you
and you dream of me too
is there a middle place
I could meet you baby?
When my mind starts to wander
then it's pulling me under
could I see you there
in the deepest places?
in my mind
I tried to find
a way to make a way
for you and I
You got me sleepwalking
I don't want the day to come around
You got me sleepwalking
I don't want the day to come around
In the midafternoon
when we hang up too soon
I feel that hollow ache
that you can't make better
and it drips
through the week
like a faucet and sink
till I can't think
a thirst you can't drink away
You got me sleepwalking
I don't want the day to come around
You got me sleepwalking
I don't want the day to come around
Then some things are just not meant to be
and it's not really you
and it's not really even me
It's just never
It's just never
You got me sleepwalking
I don't want the day to come around
You got me sleepwalking
I don't want the day to come around

Long Shot

Where had you gone
I found you?
Where were you dreaming to go?
What did you imagine
when my arms were
wrapped around you?
And what would you say yes to
when I've said no?
It's a miracle
you're near me
it's a long shot that you'll stay
oh you think you see me clearly
I'm a long long ways away
I brought a gun to a knife fight once
it messed the whole damn thing up
we tried to settle
who was the best among us
I pulled the trigger
now we're all just out of luck
It's a miracle
you're near me
it's a long shot that you'll stay
oh you think you see me clearly
I'm a long long ways away
I'm a long long ways away
I'm a long long ways away
It's a miracle
you're near me
it's a long shot that you'll stay
oh you think you see me clearly
I'm a long long ways away
I'm a long long ways away
I'm a long long ways away

The Halloweeny EP
by The Prince Street Ghouls
This compilation was lovingly created by some of my favorite facemelters at Havocado Productions in Berkeley, CA. I'm particularly keen on the Bottle Rocket and Rachel Toups tracks.

I sing lead in the indie electro pop band Tragic Gadget. There's a lot of omnichord and feelings on this record. Lotta bass, lotta lyrics. It felt really good to make & still feels great to sing.

by Nick Leng
The deep, dreamy music from this L.A. artist puts the emphasis on his soft, soulful vocals, resulting in low-lit love songs for late nights.

Recorded on an iPhone, the four tracks on the new EP from Kiara NGL burst with both big feelings and gentle melodies.

The four songs on this EP are smoky and mysterious, wreaths of synth surrounding Kiara NGL’s whispery vocals.

Hazy, jangly, a little bit mournful—Bay Area indie pop one-man-band Orange Dots channels the spirit of Sarah Records on his latest.
