wellspring

Back when we would pray and you felt you were safe
I miss those days
Back when we were told I know the plans I have, they're plans for hope
I miss those days
Your altar
Like a wellspring
Hands open like the libran scales
Your altar
To make me clean
there I was
And there's no getting back
Back when everything broken it split straight down in half
And the half that was broken spoke in tongues of the soul
Floating there by my moving mouth
I miss those days
Your altar
Like a wellspring
Hands open as in welcome (veni sancte spiritus)
Your altar
To make me clean
Lost my mind to peace
There I was
And there's no getting back

I had the thought
03:40

I had the thought to move out of town
Thought that all these hills would change me
Thought that all that green could wash out the blue
Thought that I could find someone who'd love me
I had the thought to bury my head
Just to work and save while I'm here
Thought that if I'm happy in myself
Maybe I could find someone who'd love me
This place is beautiful
Here's me driving home
By the curve of the lake
I guess I gotta wait
I had the thought to move out of town
Find another room in another flat
Fall in with new friends and the kind of routine
Maybe I could find someone who'd love me
I had the thought to bury my head
That a simple life would do me
Take the advice that's been hanging on my bathroom door
All this time, to find someone who'd love me
This place is beautiful
Here's me driving home
By the curve of the lake
I guess I gotta wait

birthday at the beach
02:59

I'm in the same mood today as I was on my birthday at the beach
Here's a boy at the water, waves crash on his toes
Big smile from his mother, big smile from the boy
I smile but it reminds me I'm alone
Here's a man and a woman, with their backs to the sun
Though they lie saying nothing I can see their bodies touch
Pay no mind to people watching they're in love
I'm in the same mood today as I was on my birthday
Time now to go home
I think it's time to just be alone

drink it down
03:30
|

All the folks by the lake
Hands run, hands running through hair
here to drink it down
What do I gotta do
For a friend?
What do i gotta do
to find where you are?
My body aches
this ain't the job for me
My glass is half full
My smile is stuck on sideways
Yellow leaved carnival
All here to drink it down
What do I gotta do
For a friend?
What do I gotta do
to find where you are?

girl like you

How do I keep this loneliness at bay?
Some nights I go out looking for a friend
Hoping to find someone if just till the morning
Some nights I stay in looking for relief
Let it be there at the bottom of my drink.
How do I keep this loneliness at bay?
Some nights I stay in stare at a screen
Or at this blank page making fun of me
Some nights I go out because you've got to put yourself out there
You're still young you should be having fun
A girl like you
It will happen when you least expect it
This Sunday kind of love and I suspect that
It will feel so easy, just keep doing what you do
I'm sure it's going to happen for a girl like you.

the low low Auckland, New Zealand
Harking to the incisive alt-pop of St. Vincent, the plaintive 60s-influenced melodies of Harry Nilsson, and the inventive vocal work of Kate Bush, The Low Low brings an buoyant, off-kilter approach to classic pop.
