LYRICS
what’s the point of this 
if i know how it ends 
you said i got the spark
well baby are you
the flint?
and don’t you dare me to
cause you know that i will
and don’t you say those words 
that ain’t part of our deal

walk five miles from my door
just to give you some more
do you just talk to me 
when you’re lonely and bored
and don’t you act like that 
when you know what i feel
and don’t you tell me to stay
cause you know that i will

but you get so close 
i almost don’t 
bite my lip
happy accident 
and i wanna die
when you say don’t cry
i won’t quit
happy accident 

always measure my time
by the way you spend mine
i wanna burn it all down
could i borrow a light?
and don’t you dare me to
i could leave in the night 
and don’t you dare me to
cause you know i could fly

but you get so close 
i almost don’t 
bite my lip 
happy accident 
and i wanna die
when you say don’t cry
i won’t quit 
i’m no accident 

what’s the point of this
i don’t know how it ends

LYRICS
Yeah I feel it in my bones 
And I find it through my home 
I see it in my dreams 
Like a whisper spoke to me 

Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you all the time 

Yeah I feel it in my bones 
Like the lines you carve for me 
And it moves right through my skin 
I can hear it in the breeze 

Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you all the time

Bad Water

In A Dream

this is the third single off my next album. thank you so much for listening 🦋

lyrics:
do you think that we could go for a walk? 
i promise there’s no need for us to talk 
perhaps you’d let me hold your hand
if i promise to let go at the end 

i know you don’t care to stay around
lately i’ve tried to work on my pride 
but even thought i know it’s unfair 
if there’s something about you that still care

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright 

do you think you’ll still reply when I ask 
about your days, once we’re apart? 
cause even though i know it’s unwise 
i’d like to keep up with you and your life 

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright 

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright 

put your hands back in your pockets
let them rest, i’ll keep my promise 
it’s okay that you don’t want this
of course i saw it coming 
i like to spend time with my alternate lives 
could not expect you to understand why

say i’m all you need
even if it’s a lie, i don’t mind 
need to hear it one more time 
i won’t hold you to it, it’s alright

Even if it's a Lie (I Don't Mind)

I Used to Spend So Much Time Alone

Different Now

It’s funny how all the demos we’ve accumulated can change over time ... Sometimes the early versions & rough mixes that stick out the most now didn’t when we were making them, as is the case with ‘Habits’. 

We originally bounced this mix when we were still working on overdubs, but then we lost the project file after Chris spilled a bunch of coffee on his laptop.  We rediscovered this version while sifting through demos one night at our house a couple months later.

If we could reopen that file, I’m sure we’d find some shitty preset sounds, a guitar amp simulator on the vocal track, and tons of crude, approximate EQ and compression.   If we still had the Logic file, we'd probably want to change and rerecord a bunch of stuff.  In a way we’re thankful that this particular track is frozen in time, because if we had a chance to dive back into it, I’m not sure we’d be able to get into the right headspace to improve on it.  

After the coffee spill we started backing up all our files to de cloud, and we'll probably continue to exhaustively revise our current projects, but just this once it’s kinda nice to release something we never got the chance to split hairs over. 

“Habits" is the first song we’ve released where Chris (keyboard + guitar) sings lead vocals.  It's the first song off Loosies, a collection of demo versions & B-sides from the sessions for the Baby Blue Suede EP that came out last year.  Loosies is out 2/16, along with a deluxe cassette from Invertebrate Music.

'Water' out May 10th on Fire Talk

Love is everyday magic. That’s the impression you get listening to Water, the new album by Chicago trio Dehd. Veterans of Chicago’s increasingly fruitful DIY scene Jason Balla ( Ne-Hi and Earring) Emily Kempf (Vail and formerly with Lala Lala) and drummer Eric McGrady share a strange and inexplicable chemistry. Love rises up into the atmosphere like steam off a summer sidewalk and makes you wild. Love breaks your heart and you consider yourself lucky for it. Like water itself, it surrounds us, it supports us; it’s what we’re made of. It takes the shape of its container. The music is hazy and reverb-drenched, a scuzzy and hyped-up take on surf rock that could only come from the Third Coast. It’s all animated by the red-lining feel-good spirit of the Velvet Underground’s Loaded and the breezy melodicism of C86-era indie rock, with a dash of the Cramps’ spooky-hop bop courtesy of McGrady’s locomotive drumming.It’s a clear-eyed look at the wild nature of everyday life that’s been spun up in sugary sweet melodies and scratched-crystal sounds. More than anything, it’s the embodiment of Dehd’s m.o. from the start: As Kempf puts it, “Work with what you have and make it magical.”
