Second single from Neev's softmore EP release: Currants. Out November 5.

Lovesong

At a Cost is about that last day before the other one moves out — the crushing, silent tears of an ending that couldn’t be prevented, the trying to make it lighter for the other person’s sake. And the parallel of traveling to new countries without a map, without directions… it might end up a catastrophe, and there’ll definitely be some homesickness, but ultimately, it’s an adventure. A new life, at the cost of the old one that was no longer sustainable. 

A huge thanks goes to Stefano De Stefano/An Early Bird to be the one initiating the creation of this song, and being a huge part of the songwriting as well as the one playing the guitar.

At a Cost lyrics:

It’s the last day we have together
Don’t be sad or take it bad, let’s talk about the weather
We don’t have much to say now
And the past keeps calling on 
I may not call – won’t know how  
For a while

It’s the last conversation, I guess
I’m still glad for every single caress
We can celebrate a new night 
Or wait hidden in the twilight
There’s nothing left to smile
About

We’re on the road again, there’s no map
Coordinates are lost 
Run away and hide, or face the gap
Life will come at a cost
At a cost

At a cost

The dream we dreamt is gone now…

We’re on the road again, there’s no map
Coordinates are lost 
Run away and hide, or face the gap
Life will come at a cost
Oh, at a cost

On the road again, there’s no map
Coordinates are lost 
Run away and hide, or face the gap
Either way, love comes at a cost
At a cost

It’s the last day we have together 
Don’t be sad, nothing lasts forever

At a Cost

To Be Lovers

Don’t Need Anything embraces a sonic atmosphere that is reminiscent of a time where people listened to music on gramophones and sat in the living room waiting for their favourite song to play on the wireless radio. This playful duet tells the story of true friendship where people tell you the truth even if you don’t want to hear it. ‘Don’t Need Anything’ would be a great addition to playlists such as ‘Fresh Finds Folk’ and ‘Infinite Indie Folk’.

Lyrics 
Bumper to bumper on the Bay bridge
My foot stomps on the brakes just a little too late
I punch the steering wheel like the world’s to blame
‘Till I see your face saying what’s the race?

I don’t need anything, if I’ve got you
You’re my medicine, my dose of truth
When I’m all fogged up and can’t see through
I don’t need anything, if I’ve got you
If I’ve got you

Down at the bar where we know everyone
You call three times to say you’re on your way
You know I’ve already saved you a seat
Right next to me, in this in between

I don’t need anything, if I’ve got you
You’re my medicine, my dose of truth
When I’m all fogged up and can’t see through
I don’t need anything, if I’ve got you
I don’t need anything

I swear sometimes you piss me off for the fun of it
Push my buttons just to watch me fume
Sometimes when my ego gets a little overgrown
It’s always you
Who knows what to do

I don’t need anything, if I’ve got you
You’re my medicine, my dose of truth
When I’m all fogged up and can’t see through
I don’t need anything, if I’ve got you
If I’ve got you
If I’ve got you
If I’ve got you
