An Echoic’s latest single “How to Live” is a tongue-in-cheek reflection on hopelessness. With a certain touch of freak folk, the song has a strange ambiguity that could fool you into optimism if you didn’t pay attention to the lyrics. Produced by Andrew Feels, An Echoic’s steady collaborator who is also known for his work with artists like Emma Beckett.

Lyrics:
'Cause I am a black dog howling at the moon,
A long winter in a cocoon, 
A dying man in a living room, and I know it well

Can I be more than a deer in the road?
Same clothes, same postcode, 
I don’t deserve the love that I am shown, 
But someday I will

'Cause I, I need time, so I can be, who you need me to be, so hold out please

I am the river, you’re the mayflies falling, 
It covers all like a pink sky morning, 
You’re shouting out into a vacuum miles away

Love towers above me like a tidal wave,
Reminder of the friends we couldn’t save,
So comes the day of reckoning like a parade

'Cause I, I need time, so I can be, who you need me to be
I, I need time
