"if only winter"
Written February, 2019.
Recorded July-August, 2021.

"you lied to me"
phone demo written & recorded July 31, 2021.

lyrics:
I'm losing this fight
Missing things I can't make up for
Making further mistakes

Almost got away with it
I want to feel hurt
Its better self inflicted

I've lost everything
I do my best to seek help
Stripped naked, hapless and burdened

Feeling small is my joy
What else is there to live for?
Everyone's better off without me

I can't sit so I stand
But there's nothing to prove
Fingers frozen in ice

Never have I surfed
I hate staying inside
Yet I've lost all my pride

If only winter would leave,
If only you.

//

You lied to me
Every time we ever spoke
If you ever truly loved me
Then you never would have left me
The only lie I ever told you
Was that I'd never find better love
You lied to me
And I'll never let you lie to me again

if only winter / you lied to me

if only winter / you lied to me (demo)

Written August - September, 2019. Recorded July, 2021.

lyrics:
You’re in a robe with slippers on your feet
And I’m outside dancing on your street
I need you to fall for me
I fear that won’t come to be

You make me feel like a creep
It’s true I can’t get any sleep
From afar I can see
You’re a little into me

I heard about you kissing some guy
Oh how I wish that was a lie
I still want you to be mine
And for our brains to intertwine

You make me feel like a creep
It’s true I can’t get any sleep
From afar I can see
You’re a little into me x2

You gave a hug but ran away
And the way you glanced at my face
Later you came back to say
That you were down for a date
So are you into me?

Now everyone thinks I’m a creep
They make sure I don’t get any sleep
From afar I can see
That you’re not really into me.

are you into me?

you never forget that feeling...but things will be ok, and in time things will be even better than they were and it will all make sense.
- my friend, Peter

Keith (they/em) was born in New Zealand but now resides in Washington. Inspired by many artists including the likes of Snow Patrol, Jeff Pianki, Bon Iver & The Paper Kites, Keith's music is an introspection on memories and a cathartic process. Typically just solo with vocals and an acoustic guitar, their songs center in the folk-pop realm.

Whilst 17 and graduating high school, they recorded their first full length LP, 'Falling Up' and released in June, 2020. After some time and rediscovery, sophomore record 'cards' came out in in August, 2021.

2022 saw the release of four new records & some songs here and there. In April, 'glimpses' & in August with album 'face and' created with Eli Utter.
And in November, co-produced with Eli Utter & Talis Auseth titled, 'For Nazomi, On the Windowsill' released. The album featured many talents including 10 vocalists, musician friends Luka Simpson, Daniel Marcotte, Eli Utter, cellist August Posch & guitarist Chivan Lim of WINEHOUSE.
Following, 'curveball!' was made & released in December; being a sister-record of sorts to earlier venture, 'face and'.

More recently, they have been performing primarily in their current hometown, Olympia, WA or Seattle/Portland. + being part of jonny's boy band, Jack Jay, Continuum & Fern Spores + assisiting with projects by dear friend Eli Utter.

On December 31, 2023, their band Continuum released their first self-titled album; And its such a bubble of fun to em.
