Lyrics:
What a week it’s been.
Guess now my days all look like this;
Like I’m holding on to the kid I was,
And I’m slipping.
What were we hoping;
Is it that magic exists?
Is it that your love is more than rust?
I don’t know if it is. 

When I dreamed of it,
Was it one of Your promises?
Was it God or dust,
A tomb or a cross? 
Or something that I’ve missed.
What a year it’s been.
Must my life still look like this;
Like I’m holding on the grave I’ve dug.
Or are You still in it? 
Are You still in it?

Let’s go to Paris,
We can both quit acting,
And count the days until we can start.
Hopeless nomadic,
Broken but romantic.
I just want to be where You are. 

So let’s go to Paris,
We can both quit acting,
And count the days until we can start.
Hopeless nomadic,
Broken but romantic.
I just want to be where You are. 
So let’s run off to Paris,
We can both quit acting,
And count the days until we can start.
I’m a hopeless nomadic,
Broken but romantic.
I just want to be where You are.

The Gap

‘End Credits’ is a nihilistic yet optimistic track about slipping into the unknown of the afterlife. Musically joyous, lyrically dower this track perfectly sums up the highs and lows of realising our human condition as we hopelessly and defiantly trudge towards the end.

End Credits

"Brooklyn's Russian Baths released their debut album back in 2019. A year later, they've returned to album standout "Responder" for an entirely new "Night" version of the song. Where the original is a dark, driving rock song, the new take is haunted, twinkling like the midnight sky, with skittering drums, melancholy piano and an open road's worth of atmosphere." ~ BrooklynVegan

Striving to control others (emotions, desire, behaviors) corrupts. This seems like a chronic symptom of the worst in masculinity.

A responder talks back, but does it listen? Not equipped with the tools to be vulnerable, one voice denies reality, refuses to connect, exerts more control, idolizing restraint ("the way I held every face card") and admonishing its counterpart ("you way you scolded me"). With denial (to self and other), all's bound to collapse. Both know it will happen. Neither wants it.

I guess it's also an exploration of the big 80s breakup love ballads of the Patty Smyth featuring Don Henley variation, but the dark sexual politics of the heartbreak are more explicit. This is the night version.

I was listening to a lot of the xx and Sinead O'Connor when we wrote it and when re-recording it, I was listening to PJ Harvey almost exclusively. I wonder if this bleeds into the atmosphere.

Waterside Mews

‘It is true that Jaque M–– left Lisbon by boat in the winter of 1759, two hundred years to the day before the city opened its first metro system, and that he sailed with intentions of greatness and returned in disgrace, never speaking about why, or why he spent the rest of his life recreating scale-models of the buildings he claimed to have seen on the Arabian coast.’
