Waiting

Waiting Tonight

Oh was it lost summer out of reach
Over the dunes down that empty beach
And i could've cut those ties back then
I stand at the crossroads knowing I’d do it again
We took the truth was headstrong in our youth

We were losing hope, left it on a 4 track
So far out of key and overdubbed for 2

No use waiting tonight
Knowing all things must pass don’t mean you were right
Called a truce but ready to fight
We were just caught up in that scene
Now it's lost in a dream

That spirit broken chased it in the streets
Was it for glory was it always obsolete
Used illusions that hurt was all we captured
I still can’t believe whatever gets you through

No use waiting tonight
Knowing all things must pass don’t mean you were right
Called a truce but ready to fight
We were just caught up in that scene
Now it's lost in a dream

Can’t you feel it coming, believe in something more
We were just caught up in that scene
Now it's lost in a dream

Holding back i should've known better
Down that dusty road and now its gone too soon

No use waiting tonight
Knowing all things must pass don’t mean you were right
Called a truce but ready to fight
We were just caught up in that scene
Now it's lost in a dream
We were lost in a dream
We were lost in a dream
Can’t you believe it
We were lost in a dream
We were lost in a dream

Waiting Tonight

Hailing from Stockholm, couple Linnea and Joel Edin, aka The Forest & The Trees are a striking addition to the canon of quintessential bittersweet indie-pop to emerge from Sweden in recent years. Creating delicately crafted songs, their work showcases a talent for combining playful melodies with the perfectly balanced harmonies of their vocals.
 
Having originally played together in Joel’s band Tupelo Honeys, they formed in 2008, before releasing their self-titled debut in 2010. After playing throughout Europe they released their “What We Lost” EP in 2011, featuring remixes from the likes of NIVA and Houses.
 
In the years that followed the ennui of daily life kicked in, and when Linnea lost her job and Joel found himself bored of his studies, inspiration to write new songs proved hard to find. The couple decided to “take action and leave the Swedish darkness”, and moved to Valencia for four months, a city they’d first visited and fallen in love with when they'd played there several years earlier.
 
The influence of their time in the city is palpable, lending their new album a sun-drenched optimism, despite having only written one song (lead track “You’re In My Skin”) during the duration of their stay. It’s a noticeable shift in mood, and one that the duo acknowledges: “Whereas our first album evolved around escaping and fear of growing up, the new songs are mostly about facing that fear and dealing with stuff instead of running away. We decided to name the album Missions, from one of the songs on the album, because it sums it up, it’s more positive. These songs are more about facing problems and doing something about them, rather than escaping.”
 
Drawing on the music they listened to as teenagers, bands like Popsicle, The Cardigans and The Cocteau Twins, has driven their sound to develop precision, while retaining a balance of the carefree and complex. Such a middle ground was hard to find, so despite early plans to produce the record themselves, they eventually decided to bring in Johannes Berglund, who'd previously worked with The Radio Dept. Shout Out Louds and The Knife, seeking some necessary objectivity. “We’ve been acquainted with Johannes for a few years and we totally love the work he’s been doing. So we asked if he wanted to mix our single “Putting Down the Gun” which he did and we were so pleased with the result,” they explain. “It felt like he really understood what we wanted and could help us with that final push. He really works with his gut and puts so much feeling into his mixes - we’ve been very lucky to get to work with him.”

HIGH BEAM

I could show you kindness 
but I'm kind of wishing 
that you'll wind up feeling bad

I'll only take your finest
If I find you catching in the cold
I won't forget

mm

are you tryna make me nervous
'cause I heard you never think long
when you wanna think twice

and if jealousys a furnace
you could burn this image in my mind
with one near lie

but I'm a high beam, honey
showing the way it's gonna be, oh
'cause you're a lightweight, honey
never enough for all of me

there's a big light
tryna spill out of me
but you're a long night
and somehow I don't believe in me
when I'm trying to find ya
when I'm trying to find your light
so I'm gonna look out for mine

I said,
why are you like this?
I wanna hold your hand 
but I cannot handle it
when you're sitting in a silence
and I'm crying out for more than that

'cause I'm a high beam, honey
showing the way it's gonna be, oh
but you're a lightweight, honey
never enough for all of me

there's a big light
tryna spill out of me
but you're a long night
and somehow I don't believe in me
when I'm trying to find ya
when I'm trying to find your light
so I'm gonna look out for mine

say something if you don't want nothing from me
say something if you
say something if you don't want nothing from me
say something if you

there's a big light
tryna spill out of me
but you're a long night
and somehow I don't believe

there's a big light
tryna spill out of me
but you're a long night
and somehow I don't believe in me
when I'm trying to find ya
when I'm trying to find your light
so I'm gonna look out for mine

say something if you don't want nothing from me
say something if you
say something if you don't want nothing from me
say something if you

A track about loopholes

Lyrics:

One day of summer will not make me bloom
Or at least that's not for me
I've got ease and lighter like an air balloon
To each gleam that I've already seen

Don't take offense there's no place where I belong
The curse, on my end, is in the promises that I've been told

They say the time will not Rewind
Then you call me and I become so light
It's not about time that I can tell you more
I may not predict the future but I'm so sure
In your arms I lived more than once this life

But you will hold me down
Like I'll never lie to you
Like I'll never fail if you don't want me to

Don't take offense there's no place where I belong
So then why should I stick around
The curse, on my end, is in the promises that I've been told
Using loud words that make no sound

When they say the time will not Rewind
Then you call me and I become so light
It's not about time that I can tell you more
I may not predict the future but I'm so sure
In your arms I lived many times this life
