~~lyrics~~

Why don’t you take off your red shoes
So we can end our night well spent

Why don’t you say what’s on your mind
I won’t run away

I won’t turn away
won't turn away

When morning comes our way
I’ll be here to stay

Staring at a distance
This warmth is hard to find
Sitting in the silence
I gave my best, I tried

Simply a distraction 
I didn’t hope to find 
Sitting by my side 
I hope you’re here to stay

Cyrus Reynolds releases his new single ’Foraker’ featuring S. Carey on September 14th through Swedish label Dumont Dumont  (Ry X, Josin, Charlie Cunningham). ‘Foraker’ features Bon Iver member (backing vocals and drums) S. Carey on vocals.

Crafting a sound out of both love for the orchestra and for modern songwriting, Los Angeles-based artist and producer Cyrus Reynolds leans towards the cinematic and dramatic. A classically trained composer (Royal Academy of Music) turned electronic sound designer (Output, Kanye), he draws his own sound from familiar textures and twists them into new sonic landscapes, finally holding them together by threads of interwoven narratives and personal lyrics.

Cyrus explains ”Foraker, at its heart, is a love letter to my wife, harpist Lara Somogyi, and set in the Denali region of Alaska through the eyes of a wayward traveler. There’s this deep connection with the heart of the glacier (Foraker) and the outdoors and he keeps coming back to this same place to look for something that’s actually inside himself. It’s a harkening back to why I write music."

”S. Carey came on to the song through a mutual friend I’ve written a couple of orchestral songs with, Ivan Howard. He recorded the vocals and it immediately had all of this character; introspection and the kind of joy you want to shout off a cliff. I know Sean must have really connected with the message - because he really just got the song in every way. The song had a heart, and then S. Carey came in and gave it a pulse.”

📝 Lyrics:

These are the glory days
So why are you scared we are young
We are the risks we take
I breathe strong 

Starlings free-form
Over these moors 
Where my heart lies
Cemented in all of time
And all past loves

Over on the hills 
In five years still
All remains here
Untouched by the turns of life
And I get lost in my mine

I'll be still as the wind spills its body
I'm breaking out of the line
I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
I'm heading out this time

Look into the stars
I've been thinking more
About this whole thing
Through the gaps of a moving train
For who we are

Little do I know
Come come and go
And love
We build up

I'll be still as the wind spills its body
I'm breaking out of the line
I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
I'm heading out this time

Who plays the fool
When we've failed out last hurdle
Who claims the crown
When we've poisoned the rest of our lands

These are the glory days
So why you scared 
We are the risks we take
I've breathe strong

I'll be still as the wind spills its body 
I'm breaking out of the line

Glory Days

📝 Lyrics:

I found you in the black 
I found you in the dark 
I wanna see you in the light 
I wanna see your spark 
Cause theres a fever I can't shrug 
And its burning for you 
I don't wanna be alone 
Wanna take a ride with you 

So lets 
Runaway where the world can't find us 
Let love blind us, all remind us 
Of everything that we used to be 
There will be no distractions 
No reactions 

Give me joy feed me hope 
Give me strength when I can't cope 
Give me heart show me red 
Show me the deepest moments you dread 
Cause theres a fever I can't shrug 
And it's burning for you 
I don't want to be alone 
Wanna take a ride with you 

So lets 
Runaway where the world can't find us 
Let love blind us, all remind us 
Of everything that we used to be 
There will be no distractions 
No reactions 

So lets 
Runaway where the world can't find us 
Let love blind us, all remind us 
Of everything that we used to be 
There will be no distractions 
No reactions

Runaway

This is the solo-debut 7" by the great Gary Olson of The Ladybug Transistor. He's also famous for his work as a producer for Nick Garrie, The Essex Green, Crystal Stilts, ... just to name a few ...
His 7" "The Old Twin/All Points North" (KUS 018) includes two beautiful popsongs and is a collaboration with Ole Åleskjær and members from the norwegian Indie-Popband The Loch Ness Mouse with the help from Julia Rydholm of The Essex Green/The Ladybug Transistor and Suzanne Nienaber of Great Lakes & Pale Lights.

Gary Olson - The Old Twin

The song was written with the intention of having multiple meanings so that different people could connect with it in their own way, For me in retrospect its a song about being lost in yourself. The song idea was conceived through looking at a painting in my co writers (David J Cayley) house, the painting looks almost like time lapse photography, its a picture of London with everyone rushing by apart from one person, this person isn't the center of the painting but stands out in their own individual way and this is what me and David both concentrated on establishing though the songs lyrics and music.

Lyrics

I am the wedding bells 
Singing from the hotel-ed streets the sinful sleep 
The cacophony of sound 
The new born hope to this hopeless town 

There she walks between 
The light enclosed her dream 
Now she’s finally; free 

She has the tainted tells 
Screaming from the silent weep the mournful sleep  
The monotony unbound 
The chastened tales of the wedding gown 

There she walks between 
The light erodes her dream 
Now she’s finally left; to be

In Between

Written by Chase Campbell and Tad Jewett 
This demo track will give you something to relate to. If you need a sad song here it is just for you. It'll be on my next record, so enjoy it here before its released anywhere else.

Lullaby

Lyrics:
I could have you every evening around four
But wouldn’t it get kind of boring, you’ll want more
You say you want someone who loves you
Who you adore 
I don’t ever want to hurt you
You’re so pure

You wear your heart on your sleeve
I think I’ve seen you in movies
Sunday morning cartoons
You’ll be the first to leave
And I’ll go back to my room
And drink merlot, and sing
About my own impending doom
While she glows like
And she goes like
La la la la

There she goes like
La la la la la la

Hanging onto every word that you say
The sweetness of your smile soothes my dismay
I could listen to you talking all day
Though I know, I know you’re fading away

You wear your heart on your sleeve
I think I’ve seen you in movies
Sunday morning cartoons
You’ll be the first to leave
And I’ll go back to my room
And drink merlot, and sing
About my own impending doom
While she glows like
And she goes like
La la la la

There she goes like
La la la la la la

Fading Away
