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

stay with it
you don’t need to water it down
no one else has the same story

stay with it please
stay with it please
you can take all the time that you need

I know that you worry
what if nobody cares?
and you're sorry
you had a big enough head to

stay with it
stay with it please
stay with it
stay with it

something is broken
so fucked it’s not hard to feel hopeless
I see you sleeping while the sun’s out
anything to distract you from your doubts

bro

I’m not here to tell you to get up
I know you have had it rough
I don’t know anybody more tough

I’m here to remind you
of the image you drew of yourself when you believed nobody could stop you
he’s still there
But you choose to look away
I think you’re scared of your own greatness
can’t you see it?
can’t you see it?

I know that you worry
what if nobody cares?
and you're sorry
you had a big enough head to

stay with it
stay with it please
stay with it
stay with it

I know the pain of running a race in the wrong direction
I know the pain of a long and slow bitter break
I know how it feels to have nobody when you can’t stand up for yourself
I know how it feels to push your problems into a box 
and place it on a shelf
it’s time to realize that you have exactly what you need
its deep down inside behind the lies you tell yourself to get by
I’m only here to remind you
of who you actually are
