Indie Pop / Rock Playlist | BIRP! July 2025

Tried to get away from there
Late enough the coast was clear
We'll go on living
We'll go on living

Can't escape the latest trend
Or friends who find a second wind
They'll go on living
They'll go on living

Take your time (as if I saw)
What's the rush? (it cross your mind)
Make our exit

Come to me so comfortably
Ex-extravert social fatigue
We'll go on living
Quietly quitting

Take your time (as if I saw)
What's the rush? (it cross your mind)
Like before (we're past the point to)
Make our exit

Quiet Quitting

We were turning into old
Versions of ourselves
If it were only up to me
I’d get used to no one else
We were walking out on ice
Anybody’s guess
Shot the coast in black and white
Know I said I meant to

Change the film
Nothing to show for
How you felt
Sun off your shoulder

Feeling like we’re seventeen
Back where we grew up
So imperfect, in between
Probably my fault
There are days that throw us off
Haven’t read all year
Hard to finish what we start
Been too close to see it clear

And I know what you would say
And I know what you would say

Change the film
Nothing to show for
How you felt
Sun off your shoulder

And I know what you would say
And I know what you would say

The Longer This Goes On

Bluff

Every day, it’s just the same old story
It’s all right, but you’re gonna be fine
You can’t lie until it’s all over
And I know
You should be in my bed

Anyone
Everybody’s got some for me
Anyone
Anyone 
Everybody knows someone who loves to suck it

A song
A dull light
We could be so much
Violence
Ammo
We could be so much
Heaven waiting
Heaven waiting
Power
It’s too much
I’m a sucker

Don’t stay late cause we’re going to the party
I’m losing all my self-control
Said you need somebody to help
But it’s hard to stop and let it go
And I’m on my way

Anyone
Everybody’s got some for me
Oh, just lie
Anyone
Everybody knows someone who loves to suck it

A song
A dull light
We could be so much
Violence
Ammo
We could be so much
Heaven waiting
Heaven waiting
Power
It’s too much
I’m a sucker

Stream 'Grounded' now: https://bfan.link/grounded-4

ZOO is a project as ambitious as it is intriguing. The Cincinnati-based American artist blends elements of psych rock and lo-fi to craft a sound that’s both captivating and immersive. He returns with Grounded, the first single from his upcoming EP Singing Underwater. A track that fuses psychedelic guitar riffs with punchy percussion and addictive toplines.

ZOO - Grounded

You wanna speak your mind
It’s all just mighty fine
The time you take to compromise
I try to turn the tides

Nothing feels just right
Right there in my palms
To hold your words and see your eyes

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Your keeping up on time
Growing up and showing up to work
Loading up high
Practicing that smile

I translate all the time
My love for you
And so you do
I hope you realise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

I see blue skies
I see the light
I see blue skies
I see the light
It’s hard to release
It’s hard to memorise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memories
You wanna speak your mind
It’s all just mighty fine
The time you take to compromise
I try to turn the tides

Nothing feels just right
Right there in my palms
To hold your words and see your eyes

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Your keeping up on time
Growing up and showing up to work
Loading up high
Practicing that smile

I translate all the time
My love for you
And so you do
I hope you realise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

I see blue skies
I see the light
I see blue skies
I see the light
It’s hard to release
It’s hard to memorise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

But I'm Lost

You said forever
But the clock never listens
I see your ghost in the walls
Of this house that we built

And I try to remember
What it's like to be alone
But you said forever
And I'm starting to believe you

I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love

We kept the love but lost the reason
I still wear your voice like perfume

And I try to remember
What it's like to be alone
But you said forever
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I just (I'm lost)
I'm not in love
I'm in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I just (I'm lost)
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I just (I'm lost)
I'm lost
I just (I'm lost)
I'm lost
I just (I'm lost)
I'm lost
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm lost
I'm lost

But I'm Lost
