she's reformed
just like the neighbor's girl
she's coming home
into her wonder-world
she's moving fast
she's a superstar
she's getting high
she covers up her scars
it's the best thing she's ever had
it's the best thing she's ever had
she's reformed
just like the neighbor's girl
she's coming home
wearing her fine-pressed curls
she's driving fast
she took the family car
she's getting high
she's never slipped so far
it's the best thing she's ever had
it's the best thing she's ever had
she's reformed
she took the family car
she's getting high
she's never slipped so far
it's the best thing she's ever had
it's the best thing she's ever had
it's the best thing she's ever had
it's the best thing she's ever had

baby what can i do?
i’ve been out searching for you
i’ve got a feeling all i need is a love that's true
baby what can i say?
i know this won't go away
i’ve got a feeling all i need is to see you today
i’ve been watching the world pass by all around me
i’ve been letting the days go by 'til you found me
baby what can i do?
i’ve been out searching for you
i’ve got a feeling all i need is a love that's true
i’ve been watching the world pass by all around me
i’ve been letting the days go by 'til you found me
baby what can i do?
i’ve been out searching for you
i’ve got a feeling all i need is a love that's true
i’ve got a feeling all i need is a love that's true

This Is The Day
03:32

sooner or later she feels the morning come
isn't it safer- dark thoughts all gone
what a sensation - she has made it through one more tomorrow
raising up her eyes to a brand new sky
she knows the truth at last she's never coming back
she'll be gone
so many years
she'll be gone
melting away
she'll be gone
this is the day
someone is walking up to the bedroom door
hearing him knocking she knows what it's for
she's at the window wondering why there is no one to save her
raising up her eyes to a brand new sky
she knows the truth at last - she's never coming back
she'll be gone
so many years
she'll be gone
melting away
she'll be gone
this is the day
raising up her eyes to a brand new sky
she knows the truth at last - she's never coming back
she'll be gone
so many years
she'll be gone
melting away
she'll be gone
this is the day
ba ba da da da.....

Never Do That Again

the cat's on the carpet
the phone doesn't work
i hate when it's quiet
it means that you're hurt
it gets so complicated
'til i can't pretend
i thought i could do something good
but i’ll never do that again
i thought i could do something good
but i’ll never do that again
and you put your book down
and stare into space
you turn all the lights down
so I won't see your face
it gets so complicated
'til i can't pretend
i thought i could do something good
but i’ll never do that again
i thought i could do something good
but i’ll never do that again

I Get The Message
03:14

well my brother says i can't live in the past
but when you're more depressed by what's ahead you start believing in old dreams very fast
there were some awful times and then there were some more
but now remembering the worst of it it doesn't seem to be so bad anymore
well i don't know what to do
whether i leave or stay with you
i get the message either way
i get the message either way
well christian says that i don't want you now
but what he doesn't seem to ever grasp is that i never cared about you anyhow
it was a dirty way to leave me by the road
and when i finally found my way to town you stood there with a smile so everyone would know
well i don't know what to do
whether i leave or stay with you
i get the message either way
i get the message either way

he sits in the car
walks in the park
waits in his room as the city gets dark
he can't understand why he's falling apart
it's never too late
it's only too hard
he locks all the doors
pulls down the shades
he's not the same since he went away
he can't figure out what to do with his days
he's wasted his time
now he's wasting away
he's wasting away
he's wasting away
he's wasting away

You Don't Know Anything
03:43

by now there's nothing left to say
i just opened your letter
i know you're only human but
i expect something better
you let me down again
you drove me to the end
and it's so strange the way you've changed
you knew me well now i can tell
you don't know anything
by now there's nothing i can say
i just finished your letter
i know you're barely human but
i can get something better
you let me down again
you drove me to the end
and it's so strange the way you've changed
you knew me well now i can tell
you don't know anything
you let me down again
you drove me to the end
and it's so strange the way you've changed
you knew me well now i can tell
you don't know anything
and it's so strange the way you've changed

Get Out Of The City
03:09

summer days are long and lonely
cars are moving slowly
the streets are filled with air so still
i’m trying to get out of the city
trying to get out of the city
everybody's angry
it's hard not to be lazy
it's a bad time to have work to do
i’m trying to get out of the city
trying to get out of the city
roll the windows down
take a look around
everything is melting in the sun
nothing's getting done
i don't have the time
can't you see that i’m
trying to get out of the city
trying to get out of the city
roll the windows down
take a look around
everything is melting in the sun
nothing's getting done
i don't have the time
can't you see that i’m
trying to get out of the city
trying to get out of the city

you can really stare
you can stare a thousand miles and yet still I know exactly what you see
you can really care
you can care about the things that happen to the strangers that you never meet
these are the things about you
these are the things about you
these are the things about you i know
there is so much here
there is so much that defines you in the things you keep inside and never show
it is really clear
there is more behind that smile as you're walking down the driveway in the snow
these are the things about you
these are the things about you
these are the things about you i know

Quick, Painless And Easy

anyway you will take what you need
anyway you will take it from me
straight, straight, straight to the ledge
lose yourself in the sound
look out over the edge
i know how you'll go down
anyway you will get what you want
why should i wait for that day to come?
straight, straight, straight to the ledge
one last smile and you're gone
step out over the edge
as if nothing is wrong
it will be quick and painless and easy
quick and painless and easy
i don't want you to leave me
but you'll go anyway
straight, straight, straight to the ledge
lose yourself in the sound
look out over the edge
i know how you'll go down
it will be quick and painless and easy
quick and painless and easy
i don't want you to leave me
but you'll go anyway
anyway...
anyway...

Back In Our Town

back in our town you were the only one who really knew me
laughing out loud we always knew you could see through me
everything is alright
everything is alright
under the sun whispering foolish things you could really hear me
you were the one the only one I would let near me
everything is alright
everything is alright
everything is alright
and here i go
nobody knows
and here i go
nobody knows
i want to free a part of you
i want to see the start of you
i want to free a part of you
and here i go
nobody knows
i want to see the start of you
and here i go
nobody knows
back in our town you were the only one who really knew me

Sleeping Late

sleeping late
wasting the day away
i don't care what they say
i’m gonna stay in bed for a while
sleeping late
everything's down the drain
everything stays the same
i’m gonna wait right here for a while
i don't care what I've been missing
you can call but i won't listen to anything you say
i know it can wait
i know it can wait
sleeping late
letting the time go by
letting my mind run dry
i’m gonna disappear for a while
sleeping late
wait 'till the sun goes down
maybe i’ll come around
when all the streets are empty and quiet
i don't care what I've been missing
you can call but i won't listen to anything you say
i know it can wait
i know it can wait

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans

Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage.

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

Gorgeous psych pop as big and sprawling as a clear summer sky, with vocal melodies that swoop and dive.

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way).
