When I was your age, my mother
had to make each dollar last.
We had to grow up very fast...
Hope you don't grow up as fast as I did.

When my father was the age I am now
his shoulders hugged the ground.
He never got up to fight the next round.
Hope I don't have to fight the fixed fights he did.

Building you this pier 
to make things a little better for you.
If I run out of rocks then
well, you still got me—
I'll be your windbreaker.

When childhood ends, the storm begins,
I'll be your windbreaker.
When all your dreams seem lost at sea,
I'll be your windbreaker.

[break]

Now listen to the fine print, Princess.
Much as I'd love to be around,
most times you'll be on your own,
and we hope you remember some of the moves
we taught you.

And if you have children of your own,
you'll no doubt need this simple trick.
If you wanna be a good windbreaker,
you're gonna wanna let some of the wind
slip through.

Building you this pier 
to make things a little calmer for you.
If I run out of time then
well, you still got you—
you'll be your windbreaker.

When the storm begins, you'll need all your friends—
they'll be your windbreaker.
When it gets intense, better know your strengths—
you'll be your own windbreaker.

[instrumental break]

Long as I can, for as long as I can—
your windbreaker.
If you can call a friend, then call a friend—
they'll be your windbreaker.
If you know your strengths, then play your strengths—
they'll be your windbreaker.

And one day you might help carry the light—
be someone else's windbreaker.

Windbreaker

The listener embarks on a cosmic journey in the first part of the track. The dreamy pads and ethereal textures return, creating a sense of weightlessness and exploration. The track builds with the addition of a pulsing beat and driving bassline, providing a steady anchor while still maintaining the sense of space and exploration. The use of electronic and acoustic instruments blend seamlessly, resulting in a sonic landscape that is both organic and futuristic.

All My Tee

little sailor - Recently Removed (EP version)

Covert Acoustics is a creative sound collective dedicated to shaping immersive, genre-fluid sonic worlds.

Rooted in collaboration, we emerged from the world of production music — but have since outgrown those boundaries. Today, we focus on deeply crafted cinematic electronica and ambient downtempo, often blending music with foley, speech, and design to create narrative listening experiences.

Our catalogue spans EPs, albums, and singles — offering curated soundscapes that are as listenable as they are conceptual. Whether you’re tuning in for focused listening or seeking rich sonic textures for creative work, we aim to provide sound that resonates: deliberately, emotionally, and originally.

We’re here to reimagine what listening can be — one immersive release at a time.
