Lyrics!

You left me here yesterday 
it was just a moment to soon 
to say I love you 
it's never been so cold in the month of may 
wishing you would come back home 
is all that I do 

Please come back to me 
there will always be a place for you 
please come back to me 
I don't like this empty space without you 

Why'd you have to turn around 
see your memories flash back 
in and out of my mind 
I can remember the sweet sound 
of the clock ticking back 
in and out of wasted time 

Please come back to me 
there will always be a place for you 
please come back to me 
I don't like this empty space without you

Why, where, when?

Armed with one mic, a laptop, and only a faint idea of how to actually produce a decent-sounding mix, the Burghes set out to capture the sounds of their high school years in the summer of 2012. 

Holing up in make-shift home studios stuffed with pillows and sweaters for three months, these six friends recorded what would eventually become the Empty Spaces EP while preparing to part ways for the first time since becoming a band. 

Throughout the following year, Blake used his rare free time as a college freshman to edit, mix, and master those tracks, developing a deep appreciation for reverb and multi-band EQs along the way. 

Now, one year after the initial recording sessions, The Burghes finally feel like their songs come close to being presentable and are ready for release, bringing a bit of closure to their brief experience as a band. 

Empty Spaces offers a small slice of the Burghes' catalogue, focusing on songs written and sung by Nyasia Arradondo that feature arrangements and solos by instrumentalists Daniel, Darius, Blake, Jakub, and Gaia.

lyrics by Anjali Madhok
production and artwork by Roscoe

bottle up joys of today and tomorrow
keep it by your side
‘till the day we must divide
and it will permeate the sorrow

or just believe in what we have here
if you knew you were like me
and we’re both seeking the sea
then you could wipe away that fear

never let it cut you too deep
keep a shield around your chest
only you know what is best
and in this dream we’ll never sleep

wastelands of snow are haunting me
my feet are falling through
and the grass is turning blue
only darkness can we see

picture your world in a land of disaster
and only what comes out is good
keep your broken thoughts in a box of alabaster
you’re not the only one misunderstood

echo in my ears in the night sometimes
while my day was full of cheer
my night was full of tears
and I cannot be eased by rhymes

stop telling the world you really care
if you did we’d all be fine
and all would be divine
like a sunburst in the air 

picture your world in a land of disaster
and only what comes out is love
keep your darkest thoughts in a box of alabaster
or they’ll fit this hopeless world like a glove
