For Cutting The Grass

Carrying on the long tradition of sentimental jangle pop songwriters, Lightheaded distill decades of lovelorn tunes into sounds for modern softies. They have the sunshine sparkle of The Left Banke and Margo Guryan, the C86 charm of Dolly Mixture and Would-Be-Goods, and the cinematic swell of Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura.

"Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming!" is their most collaborative and earnest release to date, and marks their first collaborative release with Slumberland and the UK's Skep Wax label. From Laurel Canyon folky jangle to elegant chamber pop to lovesick girl-group ballads, Lightheaded's tunes nod to the ‘60s without feeling antiquated and this new EP is their most perfectly bittersweet and fully-realized recording yet.

Lyrics: 
suddenly, what’s left of me
a skeleton of what could be 
you gave me a lesson
there’s no need to keep pressing
your presence on to everyone 
they’ll hardly notice that you’re gone 
keep up your fences
shut of your senses 

let go, stay close 
what else could you need?
what else could you need?
let go, stay close 
let go, stay close 
what else could you need?
what else could you need?

see it all now that you’re gone
most of the time I was wrong
used to think I was so strong
most of the time, I was wrong

i’ve run out of sympathy 
for everyone but you and me 
they all seem so scripted 
can they tell I have drifted? 
my spine I’ve left somewhere behind
it’s done me good to kick it out
it’s weird when you care less
people think you are fearless

let go, stay close 
what else could you need?
what else could you need?
let go, stay close 
let go, stay close 
what else could you need?
what else could you need?

see it all now that you’re gone
most of the time I was wrong
used to think I was so strong
like with everything else, I was wrong
see it all now that you’re gone
most of the time I was wrong
used to think I was so strong
like with everything else, I was wrong
