I used to work all night and come back home and play this song on repeat till I fell a sleep. 

Summer Wine

Fatigue

Waiting til they call your station
Romanticise the small decision
I’d be there in two minutes walking

Cracks let in a light two seconds
A stranger wears your walk and fragrance
Then I overheard a southern accent

Damian calls with their whereabouts
A park somewhere far out of town
I doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own
 
Everything I see is clouded
With your views and prejudice about it
I guess we covered all that there is

Damian calls me with their whereabouts
He’s been on to me for hours now
Doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own

You know how I could go about
Every place and every fucker I loath
 
I wonder how your day turned out
Mine just turned one hundred years old

Fragrance

Awful Lot Of Time

Easy

Backseat

Sweet Love

Fade into a dream state with Cyrano's new single "Afterburns" - Out October 12th 

In the digital age there aren’t many artists brave enough to release a 6-minute single, let alone two versions at the same time. For Cyrano, the process of writing his meditative and dreamy new single ‘Afterburns’ became a kind of therapy, as he pens the thoughts not shared and the words not said in his breakup.

“To me, the Afterburns of a relationship is when the coals are on the fire, and you’re wondering whether to give it another stoke for a flame. If you spend too much time thinking, it’ll just fade away” shares Cyrano.

On Afterburns, the Edinburgh based producer and multi-instrumentalist cycles between short, assertive lines and longer, more delicate phrases to lament the indecision in his relationship.

“I wanted Afterburns to personify my feelings, from the lyrics and melodies to its length and flow. The whole track is one big thought, and the most idiosyncratic song of my music for the late night overthinkers.”

Alongside the release, Cyrano has created a 12-question personality test for listeners to identify if they are introverted or extroverted. Depending on their answers, they will be diverted to the Introverted or Extroverted mix of the track.

“When I was living in Singapore, I was reading a book by Susan Cain called ‘Quiet’ about introversion and extroversion. At the same time, I was listening over the various mixes I’d been sent of Afterburns and I started to feel these qualities within two of the mixes. One felt like the type of song you’d want to sing along to in a festival crowd while the other felt like one for your earphones, and a moment for yourself.”

Produced by Foals’ percussionist Kit Monteith, Afterburns marks the third instalment from Cyrano’s upcoming debut EP, Consolations. The single follows on from his recent afterparty anthems Collateral and Tundra, 
which saw the Scottish producer achieve a second consecutive Hype Machine Number 1 and named The Scotland on Sunday’s Artist of the Week.

Cyrano will round off his year by joining Leif Erikson on a UK tour, as he looks to hit the ground running in 2022.

Afterburns Lyrics:

I worshipped you and God wasn't real
So if I missed a prayer would we know how you feel?

If I told you all my fears darling would we still be here in the afterburns?

We know silence doesn't heal; it's a force to turn us in the afterburns

I thought you never wanted, I thought you never needed somebody?
Cos all I ever wanted was the words in your eyes...

As I picked you up and down, while the band played 14 crowds, could it hit me harder?
Hit me harder

As I built you up just to let me down, I never really thought the space would make you hit me harder...
Hit me harder

And I see my sun set affection in another direction...

If you told me all your fears I could've figured you out

I thought maybe we were in a hold up, and then you let me go...

While the band played 14 Crowns would you let me love you, again?

Afterburns (Extroverted Mix)

you picked the shirt that I'm wearing 
ah did you not honey love
and all the hipsters and has-beens 
well, they can all just fuck off

and it's been eating my heart out
and now it's gone to my head
that we have peaked for some months now 
and this is all gonna end

and now she's waiting in the hall
yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all 
you worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal 
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down
darling, we're picking up speed

and all the shit that I'm talking 
it's just nonsense and slurs
but I'll be fun around your friends 
oh they're glad for their girl

yeah we can put on a show huh 
and are you proud of me then 
you know I love how you hold us 
in the palm of your hand

darling, we're picking up speed

and now she's waiting in the hall
yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all 
you worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal 
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down

you picked the shirt that I'm wearing 
ah did you not honey love
cuz you got great taste in fashion 
and surely I, I have none

Picking Up Speed

Back on your back
I cursed the lovers and the fools who rush in

The spring in their steps
Hot heavy summers and their pools to bathe in

I need to lay my body down
Oh how they took me out

His jacket sleeves over her shoulders should set the world alight

I need somebody to call

I wish the dreams of mine were different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking

I want the evening to be over
I’m just a little tired

I need somebody to call

I wish the face of mine looked different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking

Back on your back
I dreamt the colors of their hearts unfolding
Like flowers in the sun
I spent that morning with my stomach turning

I need to lay my body down, oh
Oh how they took me out

His jacket sleeves over her shoulders should set the world alight

I need somebody to call

I wish the dreams of mine were different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking

I want the evening to be over
I’m just a little tired

I need somebody to call

I wish the face of mine looked different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking

I need somebody to call

I want the evening to be over
I’m just a little tired

I need somebody to call

I wish the face of mine looked different (oh lord)
As well as every thought I’m thinking

Summer Wine
