Lyrics:

Never met a woman
with eyes so soft
I bet she’s above 
getting jealous of another girl
Is she only 21?
I feel so small
stood next to her

When she comes in the room

When she comes in the room
It feels warm like the heating’s been on
Can I learn to be like you?
I wonder if, your lure can be taught 

I must admit
I fell in love
Back when we were six in the country
and love was a drug and I didn’t know it yet
So young and toothless
So young and clueless
Even Cupid said goodbye
When its all said and done, really hun
anyone could be you, don’t lose your light
But when it’s all said and done
All I’m saying is baby don’t lose your sprite
If you don’t love me don’t tell me that

When she comes in the room (Don’t tell me that)

How does it feel
To not doubt?
How does it feel
To not want to be different?

Woman (ft. Appleby)

You say I make it so hard for you to trust me
I make it so hard for you to trust what I say
It doesn't matter what I say
So come take a look through my phone
I just want to show you that there's nothing going on
Wont you come take a look through my phone?
How can I prove that there is nothing going on?
Tell me how it's going to end

You know that you've got me now
You gotta be cool if we're going to be
Working this thing out

If we want a chance 
You've got to change darling
Is there any other way?
You've got to change
I make it so hard for you to trust what I say
It doesn't matter what I say

Keep On Calling

Pre-order the album 'Aforger' out October 14th on LP/CD/DL here: http://phonofile.link/aforger

In a digital age where memories are mimicked by pixels and identity is as malleable as static, Douglas Dare’s new album Aforger questions the boundaries between reality and fiction. 

Inspired by recent events and revelations encountered in his life these songs depict Dare at his most vulnerable, whilst simultaneously reflecting our own obsession with reality and technology back at us.  

Aforger was mixed at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and produced by long-time collaborator Fabian Prynn. In the following conversation Douglas strips back the personal journeys and realisations which preceded its recording.

In a conversation with Douglas Dare on July 11th 2016:

The album title plays with the idea of a forger – someone creating imitations or copies, and reimagines them as the creator of something that’s no longer real. Prior to writing the record, I came out to my father and came out of a long relationship, both were hugely challenging for me and questioned my idea of identity and reality. These thoughts leaked out into the record and formed the core of Aforger. I was determined not to write a break-up album or repeat what I’d done before..

I grew up on quite an isolated farm in Dorset, surrounded by fields and not much besides. My mother taught piano from home and we didn’t have a computer, or the internet or mobile phones. In fact, my family still chooses not to use these things. It’s worlds apart from my life now in London where technology seems to dominate everything I do.

After finding out my boyfriend had been leading this double-life, I became obsessed with the question of what is real and George Orwell’s 1984 felt appropriate for me to re-read. Orwell explains this idea of reality control and Doublethink, and it struck a chord with me. The idea that truth can be steered or changed, and we might be able to believe two contradictory things at once. In my case, ignorance was my protection from the truth and ignorance really is bliss, until you’re no longer ignorant.

Binary talks about the idea that technology is allowing us to live on after we’re gone. A relative of mine whose parent passed away kept a picture of them on their phone as a background image. A friend saw this and asked ‘how can you have that there to constantly remind you of your loss?’ They replied, ‘no I have to, it shows me that they’re still here’. This resonated with me and I thought ‘okay, this is just an image to me but to them it’s more than a reminder or a reassurance, it’s a reality’. At the same time, I was finding myself haunted by the digital reminder of my ex-partner and wishing they would disappear. I had to realise that it’s all just pixels on a screen. 

I think New York can be thought of as this fabricated, magical place. I was there with my boyfriend after touring the U.S., but when I came back to London I discovered all these lies and began questioning everything. I even questioned whether New York actually happened or not. New York is a song that’s literally describing that very real feeling of not knowing who or what to believe any more – scary and magical at the same time. 

Lyrically I wanted to be as honest as possible. The album deals with so much dishonesty, so I felt the lyrics had to be the counterbalance. I was inspired by Björk’s album Vulnicura and how everything is almost awkward in its honesty. Like my first album, Aforger started as poetry, but I consciously tried to be less poetic. For instance, Oh Father is an example of complete unambiguity. It’s certainly the most personal song I’ve put out there, and the realisation that people may hear it makes me feel very vulnerable. That’s the most real feeling of all for me right now.

about a guy that sucks

sometimes i feel like i just wanna go back to my old ways
you’re telling me I’m silly it’s no fun in the old days

i’m such a romantic
i never remember
how things really happen
i guess you’re attractive

or something

live in the moment
thats what they tell me 
but what ever happened
to when you would hold me
and hold me
and hold me

girlfriend or girl thats a friend?
it’s easy just to pretend
we don’t have something real
its just how we feel

i'm feelin' something right x6

i wanna be the one you think about at night
and i wanna be the one that you would put up a fight 
for
you know that i adore
that even when you’re bored
i’d buy you anything and everything i can’t afford
