about
Running away from small towns to smaller ones.
lyrics
VERSE
Are you ever coming home?
You spent the springtime with the world upon your shoulders
And a girl upon your shoulders
You were wasting time.
And when you were alone
You spent the summer waiting up inside your window
In a town that didn't want you
You were doing fine
CHORUS
Some nights
When we fall asleep
We are falling away
As we dream about a time when
We will lie with another
At the end of the day
VERSE
And then there came a time,
The day you realised the city didn't love you
You were drinking in the sinking sun with all your friends
And so you ran away
You paid no mind to all the ties that used to bind you
Stuck a pin into the map to justify the ends
BRIDGE
Are you scared of staying still
Or something closer to dying?
Did you mean it when you said you'd be okay?
She told you she would take you
if she saw that you were trying
Even minutes can feel like days
Even minutes can feel like days
CHORUS
And some nights
We can smile at each other
If there's nothing to say
Tell me stories of the good times
If you don't set a path
Then you can't lose the way
Are you ever coming home?
You spent the springtime with the world upon your shoulders
And a girl upon your shoulders
You were wasting time.
And when you were alone
You spent the summer waiting up inside your window
In a town that didn't want you
You were doing fine
CHORUS
Some nights
When we fall asleep
We are falling away
As we dream about a time when
We will lie with another
At the end of the day
VERSE
And then there came a time,
The day you realised the city didn't love you
You were drinking in the sinking sun with all your friends
And so you ran away
You paid no mind to all the ties that used to bind you
Stuck a pin into the map to justify the ends
BRIDGE
Are you scared of staying still
Or something closer to dying?
Did you mean it when you said you'd be okay?
She told you she would take you
if she saw that you were trying
Even minutes can feel like days
Even minutes can feel like days
CHORUS
And some nights
We can smile at each other
If there's nothing to say
Tell me stories of the good times
If you don't set a path
Then you can't lose the way

about
Deerful London, UK
I'm Deerful, aka Emma Winston.
I write electropop about feelings on synthesisers small
enough to use on the bus, and in tiny live-coding environments.
I love making music more than anything in the world.

An album that directly plucks at my heartstrings. Incredibly honest, full of emotions, both subtle and poignant. The perfect album to put on headphones and listen to on a cold day with a cup of tea. Truly beautiful.

A lovely pair of tracks, perfect for stargazing and daydreaming. Nostalgic and tinged with a certain sense of longing. Gorgeous. <3
