Lyrics:

Have you ever tried
Inventing a colour in your mind
It's always just what you see with eyes
The spectrum won't ever compromise
Won't compromise

We've tried taking it slow
But soon the moment will go
I can no longer sit here and watch you glow

I know a girl
She came from some other perfect world
I don't need to invent her in my mind
I guess she was just a lucky find

We've tried taking it slow
But soon the moment will go
I can no longer sit here and watch you glow

ABOUT "MEXICO"
Last summer, I moved to Costa Rica on this ridiculous housesitting job where I ended up working a little bit but mostly surfed and played poker with locals. It was the best time of our lives, but it wrecked us. Because I eventually moved back to OKC and settled back into my cubicle, and I began to feel disillusioned about days spent in cubes working 9-5s with no end in sight. “Mexico” is an escapist fantasy love song dedicated to the dream of moving to a coastal town: to be poor and happy together. Let’s move to Mexico, baby.

LYRICS
we're keepin' in 
to keep 'em out 
do it again? she said "without any doubt," 
you know I want you 

you took the words 
right out my mouth 
do it again? I said "without any doubt," 
you know I want you, too 

and i'll be where you'll be 

she said, "I can't see through it 
but we could find ourselves a beach house in Mexico" 
I'm so down 

I could run around and never give you the time 
How come every time we do this I lose my mind?

Mexico

"I'm A Loser" is a tongue-in-cheek anthem for the underdog.

I’m a Loser (lyrics)

You’re the king in a dream everyone wishes they had
I’m honor roll. I’m a hex. I’m a stone. I sink like a champ
You see it different
I’m full of it
Savor the sentiment
I think I lost my appetite 
Before I go won’t you let me know
What it’s like to be so cool and popular

I’m a loser
You got me where you wanted
Keep me low enough so you
feel good
I know I’m not a lemon
I’m just down on my luck

Tension runs through your blood must be fun to keep it inside
Who’s to say if today we will wake up Jekyll or Hyde
I see it different
You’re full of it 
Overconfident 
Feed the delusion in your mind

I’m a loser
You got me where you wanted
Keep me low enough so you
feel good
I know I’m not a lemon
I’m just down on my luck

Not too blue cuz I knew before you that you didn’t need me
Let’s pretend that we’re friends to the end yeah we just disagree
We see it different
We’re full of it
I still love you
You showed me who I am inside 

I’m a loser
You got me where you wanted
Keep me low enough so you
feel good
I know I’m not a lemon
I’m just down on my luck

You might catch me laughing
No season lasts forever
I might miss the madness
When the crown falls off your head
Can you remember
Who you were before the stars revolved around you?

I'm A Loser

This could be the moment of your life
If you only had a reason to stay
I don’t have the guts to look behind
Cause I know that she’ll be leaving anyways

Tell me something I want to believe
What is it you think that I can’t know?
Hold me closer I forgot to breathe
But love me too much and I’ll start to choke

It would mean the world to see you smile
But I know that you’re not happy anyways
We can take vacations in denial
But it’s such an awful place to have to stay

I’ve missed you so much when you’re around
Ima miss you even more when you are gone
Look at all the love that I have found
Too bad it’s not where you think you belong

Do you see it going on?

Elephant Castle - the retro-inspired indie rock project from Los Angeles-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Phil Danyew, formed in late 2019. The first single, “Cool To Be Unhappy,” was released on March 27, 2020 with warm welcome. A fresh take on the break-up ballad, Rolling Stone called the track a "roll-around-in-your-underwear-while-the-sun-seeps-through-the-window song.”

Elephant Castle released four subsequent singles with enthusiastic buzz, and is now back for their first release of 2021. Swirling with frenetic energy against a backdrop of lofty vocals and hypnotic organ, “In Circles” tackles the ordinary yet complex struggle to embrace who you really are. 

Raised in Oceanside, CA, Danyew has been writing and recording music since age 12 after stealing his father’s tape recorder. Growing up listening to 50s and 60s oldies, Elephant Castle is a response to these early influences combined with a love for vintage synths, layered vocals, the dreamy sounds of tape saturation and analog gear.

Danyew spent six years as a touring member of the band Foster the People. He left at the beginning of 2020 to pursue his own music.
