Caroline is the lead single from new EP, 'Caroline/If Only' OUT NOW!

Erased Tapes: http://www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP063

London-based singer-songwriter Douglas Dare releases new EP, following on from his debut album Whelm. Named after album track Caroline and new track If I Knew I Were Alive, it also features remixes by fellow label mate Ryan Lee West aka Rival Consoles and Houndstooth’s own electronic producer Ross Tones aka Throwing Snow.
Caroline has always been a precious track for Douglas, one of the first tracks he recorded and a story in which he imagines his grandfather is writing to a loved one during the war. As the only song on his debut album that is stripped down to just his voice and piano playing, and it being a favourite amongst fans at his concerts, it was a natural choice as a first single.

Caroline

It's been countless days, since last we wrote
And countless more, since last we wrote
But now that's all that remains
The letters that make up your name
And I used to see every line that crossed 
Your face, but now the lines are lost
In stories told and I've grown old
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

I waited all that time for you
To write be back, to write a new
Verse of our love but it never came
Just hoped my Caroline was safe
And just as I had always feared
Your precious words they disappeared 
In to my mind as I went blind
Let me read again the letters that you sent

Caroline wrote to me
Every day of that July
But now that's all I have left
Just thirty-one pages of Caroline

To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me 
To pick them up might cut my hands
And blind me

Let me read again the letters that she sent

Caroline/If Only

LYRICS
All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All we do is lie and wait
All we do is, all we do is lie and wait
All we do is feel the fade
All we do is, all we do is feel the fade

I've been upside down
I don't wanna be the right way round
Can't find paradise on the ground
I've been upside down
I don't wanna be the right way round
Can't find paradise on the ground

All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
All we do is play it safe
All we do, all we do

I've been upside down
I don't wanna be the right way round
Can't find paradise on the ground
I've been upside down
I don't wanna be the right way round
Can't find paradise on the ground

All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All I did was fail today
All I wanna be is whites in waves 
All I did was fail today
All we do, all we do

In “Carrie and Lowell,” Sufjan Stevens is a child again or, more specifically, the child character in the family of man drama that often but not always centers on the story of love given, or love forsaken, but isn’t that the same thing to the poet? That the love Stevens sings about having left or given or been born to–thank you, Carrie–is a perceptible wound not only on the singer’s throat, but his sleeve: he wears love’s incomprehensibility, and the deep incomprehensibility of being a son, like a backing vocal on “Carrie and Lowell,” which is also filled with colors, hearts, trees, conclusions, and beginnings,

Lyrics
I was distracted 
and in traffic 
I didn’t feel it 
when the earthquake happened 
 
but it really got me thinkin’ 
were you out drinkin’ 
were you in the living room 
chillin' watchin’ television 
ah it’s been a year now 
think I've figured out how 
how to let you go and let 
communication die out 

I know you know we know you weren’t down for forever and it’s fine 
I know you know we know we weren’t meant for each other and it’s fine 

but if the world was ending 
you’d come over right 
you’d come over and you’d stay the night 
would you love me for the hell of it 
all our fears would be irrelevant 
if the world was ending 
you’d come over right 
the sky’d be falling and I’d hold you tight 
and there wouldn’t be a reason why 
we would even have to say goodbye 
if the world was ending 
you’d come over right 
Right? 
If the world was ending  
You’d come over right 
Right? 

I tried to imagine 
your reaction 
didn’t scare me when the earthquake happened 
But it really got me thinkin’ 
that night we went drinkin’ 
stumbled in the house 
and didn’t make it past the kitchen 
ah it’s been a year now 
think I've figured out how 
how to think about you 
without it rippin’ my heart out 

I know you know we know you weren’t down for forever and it’s fine 
I know you know we know we weren’t meant for each other and it’s fine

If The World Was Ending

JP Saxe - If The World Was Ending (Ft. Julia Michaels)

Yes, you sang your songs
You showed your sins
Hiding by the light
That shone for him

Throwing what you got
But will not choose
Dancing with this lifeless mind
To feel a beating
Cast this anchor deep
Just for a while
Moments will be captured
And last long while

Still you stand alone
In this restless glow
Your eyes so endless wide
All the things you sowed
Spread it out for air
The ship’s not coming home

Am I elderly
Am I naïve
Am I the middle man
The God, the speed

Sure I am a dualist
A Gemini
Free and shiftless
Forever heavy in the high

Still you stand alone
In this restless glow
Your eyes so endless wide
All the things you sowed
Spread it out for air
The ship’s not coming home

Gemini

I know weather has been rough
Like children, like man
You can't stay here though you want too
I led you on now I'm crazy and tired
 
Break my heart now
Beat me under the sun
There's a morning somewhere under my skin
Make the pieces my friend
 
I speak a vision, you will judge me
The weather has been changing a lot
There's no typo, nothing steady
The true lovers kiss when the war has gone by
 
Break my heart now
Beat me under the sun
There's a morning somewhere under my skin
Make the pieces my friend
 
Bye baby, you're letting me grow
My ego still it will grow
So tell me, am I inappropriate
The wheels spinning faster just because I'm a lonesome, Texas driver
 
Break my heart now
Beat me under the sun
There's a morning somewhere under my skin
Make the pieces my friend
