Loose Buttons' sophomore album “What’s On Outside” out October 22nd, 2021 

////////////////

If only
I could catch up to the person that I thought I would be
Getting used to the bad news 
 
Cause by now
Thought I’d buy my mom a house or my dad a spaceship
So we could float around

See it from this view 
Lift my head from the screen
And fix my posture too
Still can’t tie these shoes
Ran a mile to fall down
Before the finish
First to know but last to understand

Open your eyes, your eyes
Wish I had a theme
Something to keep me up at night
Sure I got a life I love
But it don’t feel like mine
Words I try dissolve
Before my tongue can reach the line
Words I can’t define
 
Been waiting
Wishing that the wheels of change would move a little quicker
Don’t mix up your faith with mine
 
In Philly
Khazi took a train downtown to hear me singing off key
Thought I’d be more than this 
 
Crawling to the moon
To plant our flag in the scene  
But I’ve been failing you
Scared to leave my room
In the prime of my life
And feeling finished
  
Open your eyes, your eyes
Wish I had a theme
Something to keep me up at night
Sure I got a life I love
But it don’t feel like mine
Words I try dissolve
Before my tongue can reach the line
Words that I don’t
 
Hear me out
Don’t hang your head down

First To Know, Last To Understand

Pre-order 'Bloom Off The Rose' LP digital/vinyl:
alwaysyou.bandcamp.com/album/bloom-off-the-rose

Lyrics:
You ought to know
I'm toeing the line but falling too fast
You take it slow
Holding her years to your chest

I want to know
All that slips through the floor
I can't forgo
What you seem to ignore

You better cast a lie between us
That you can't shake anymore
Remember the breadth of life between us
That we can't bridge but you can't dismiss from mind

If you should ever need a helping hand
I would break my back and carry you
Strung like a marionette

You could paint the town a crimson red
But you can't see the precious gold in you
That I can't seem to forget

You ought to know
I'm toeing the line but falling too fast
You take it slow
Holding her years to her chest

I want to know
All that slips through the floor
I can't forgo
What you seem to ignore

You better cast a lie between us
That you can't shake anymore
Remember the breadth of life between us
That we can't bridge but you can't dismiss anymore

She's said it once before
Left folded in the drawer now
Locked out

Now you’re shaken to the core
So much to answer for now
Get out
What might come about?

If you should ever need a helping hand
I would break my back and carry you
Strung like a marionette

You could paint the town a crimson red
But you can't see the precious gold in you
That I can't seem to forget

Climb That Tree

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

This Unreleased Track was recorded mainly around April of 2020, in my home studio.

You can now buy digitally "Unreleased (2018-2020) Vol. I", which is the album where this track is featured, by simply following this link : https://tinyurl.com/yck4mnaa

Lament (Unreleased Track)

Kindly Written Words

Answered Prayer

Feverfew - Answered Prayer

After releasing three singles, the Canadian artist Layten Kramer finally reveals his EP ‘Eye to eye’. Nostalgic, playful and rock-oriented, this project will not leave anyone unmoved notably thanks to the use of numerous guitars, drums and a slightly reverberated voice that give an overall sentiment of psychedelia and nostalgia to whoever is listening to it. The eponymous track perfectly embodies that idea with playful, yet moving, lyrics incorporated into a whole ensemble of instruments.

Lyrics: 
Close-knit, detailed, what’s entailed?  Asking for a pardon now 
Desperate, taken, dizzy, shaken “Undone loving”, who had said?

“Don’t forget this time in the future,  You’ll be laughing, on the verge of a tear,  I’ll be elsewhere” 
“Don’t forget this time in the future,  You’ll be wishing, I were near”

Open, honest and transparent . A picture showing muck and grime.  Desperate, taken, dizzy, shaken  “Undone loving”, who had said?

Laughter

Dinosaur

I used to be afraid of my mind 
And being left alone with whatever I found
But now I’m more afraid of what I won’t find 
And all that’s left will end up letting you down
They say if you remain very still
And hold your breath for as long as you can
And by some miracle you don’t reveal
All the fear you’re holding where you stand

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
He wouldn’t know that I exist
I wish we were the same
Oh no, we’re just the opposite
I hide away again

I guess I’ll have to chase and corner it
If i wanna catch me some more self-esteem
I always thought you had to be born with it
But maybe that was just Maybelline

Dinosaur, Dinosaur
He wouldn’t know that I exist
I wish we were the same
Oh no, we’re just the opposite
I hide away again

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin

I made the cage I’m in
I’m blinded by nothing
I’m tired of my skin
