Lyrics:

slow it down and let me listen
to the rain the stains my roof.
hold me down with two white fists and
make me still so I'll grow roots.

i try to lie like I should
but why can't I die and feel good?
so good?

'cause I can't stop and breathe

will you ever stop to notice
how the time you thought you had
never wanted to ebb and flow with
all the things that you had planned.

don't cry it's fine, understood?
let's fly with shut eyes and feel good,
so good.

'cause I can't stop and breathe

*/



"i'd be in the hospital and they'd always tell me just breathe just breathe you'll be fine if you just breathe, and i'd scream back in my head how fuck am i supposed to do that?? i can't. i can't."

Say Goodbye (Prod. ZenRed)

Fixin' Up Right -

Your feelings are mixed
And our feelings are mixing up
Ain’t nothing fixed
But everything’s fixin up right
Shorty you blowing my mind

Your feelings are neutral
Our feelings are mutual
Don’t know the future but we’ll
Do something unusual tonight
Shorty you blowin my mind

If music is math and math is machines
I think we all know what that means
You never really created
And you ain’t ever really made it much better
If music is math and math is machine
I think we all know what that means
You’re just the sum of your parts
They came in a lil cardboard box
If music is math and math is the weather
Goddamit might as well forget her
Cause it’s never your fault
It’s never ever really your fault

When I come towards you
You make me weak
When it feels like everybody’s terrified of me
Baby you making me mean it
But I’m afraid it might be paraplegic

Shalom shalom, sweet baby
There’s alcohol and we all got good news
Shalom shalom, sugar
Just pass along the time you’re coming through
And shed a lil light

Nightlands, the project of Philadelphia-based Dave Hartley (best known as a core member and longtime bassist of The War On Drugs), will release his third album, I Can Feel the Night Around Me, on May 5th via Western Vinyl. I Can Feel the Night Around Me showcases Hartley's ability to layer his voice and conjure some of the most beautiful virtual choirs in modern music. Throughout, he uses meticulous choral arrangements and wistful major-seventh chords to evoke a longing for a future that once lay ahead, but has drifted out of reach. Today, Nightlands presents selections from the forthcoming release: “Fear of Flying,” “Only You Know,” and “Depending On You.” These follow lead single, “Lost Moon.”

“Fear of Flying,” one of the album’s most immediate songs, was composed with minimalist synth virtuoso Frank LoCrasto. Soft tangles of voice wash up on the shore of the song's warbling synth backbone, nudging the album briefly into the sunlight without sacrificing its melancholy, late-night vibe.

Hartley covers a number off Dion's Phil Spector-produced Born to Be With You with “Only You Know.” "I recorded it for fun, as break from the seriousness that can infect record-making," Hartley says. "Interpreting other people's songs allows you to wear a new hat and take chances that don't naturally occur to you. I wanted to croon a little bit, which I don't normally do." The recording pushes his voice to new heights and blends remarkably well with the rest of the album's shades of psyched-out doo wop, also heard on the adoring “Depending On You.”
 
Nightlands will tour North America following the album’s release. The Nightlands live band is Dave Hartley on vocals and guitar, Anthony LaMarca (The War On Drugs, Dean & Britta) on drums, Eliza Hardy Jones (Strand of Oaks, Grace Potter an the Nocturnals) on keys and vocals, Jesse Hale Moore on keys and vocals and Scott Churchman (Chubby Checker) on bass.
