You told me I'm the best
You're just like the rest
I don't want to put you through all the things I left in you
I'll wear it anyway, you know it's felt like a thousand years
The entire crescendo, it's all in my head
Now I'm dressed in all black
Sometimes I mouth the words 'I'm falling behind'
How do I make it right
Well it might be time to try
I can't undo this feeling of you
But aren't you just like the rest
The entire crescendo, it's all in my head

Good Intentions

Lyrics:

There wasn’t nothing I could say love
To make you change your mind
It seemed a touch too planned love
Those tears fell right on time
And was there something I could say?
That would have made me seem
Steps in front of you some way
Like you were never my dream

But we both know I’d be lying honey
I always chose you
Even all those times
I shouldn’t have wanted to

When you stopped smiling all together
You blamed it on the seasons
You asked me why I love you
Started running out of reasons
You smelled that on my breath
And ditched before I left
And it was two months baby
And sure there was some fire
Burning all around us
But then I got so tired
You were too
Yeah, you were too

And I know you were trying honey
But it go so hard to do
Couldn’t help but let it die
Sometimes things just do

Call It What You Want

"End of the World" is the perfect song for when life totally sucks and you need someone to open your eyes. Think everyone is against you? Maybe you're the problem. With lyrics that basically say ‘suck it up’ and a musical foundation that makes you wanna dance through the chaos, this song proves that every end is just a new beginning.

When you think the world has turned against you
Maybe you‘re the one that turned away
When you don’t know what you should hold on to
Maybe you should let go anyway
You said It must be the end of the world the end of our days
But maybe it is a start for something else
You said It must be the end of the world the end of our days
And if it is then we all are going to hell
Oh I can hardly wait
When you think that no one walks beside you
Maybe you’re the one that ran away
When you fear that one comes from behind you
Maybe you should look the other way
You said it must be the end of the world the end of our days
But maybe its a start for something else
You said it must be the end of the world the end of our days
And if it is then we all are going to hell
Oh I can hardly wait
Until it starts to rain
So we get washed into the drain
And can start all over again
You said that you‘re afraid cause its to late

END OF THE WORLD

Dont Go Alone

💘 indie/dreampop 💘

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is an American indie dreampop band from Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX. Making their mark with their acclaimed debut album (self-titled 2009) and Untogether (2012), they carved out a little corner of the dreampop world with their take on electronic shoegaze and indiepop jangle. After taking a hiatus which songwriter Mike Lee hails as their time to "become real adults," they came back to their familiar form with IV (2022). Gearing up for their next release, Reveries, we hear them push forward and further like never before, exploring new sounds and structure with a mature patience and confidence emblematic of "real adults." Now inspired by vastly different genres from drum 'n' bass to post-punk to K-pop, their version of dreampop has become larger and simultaneously very refined. Meticulously mixed by the amazing Melina Duterte (Jay Som), the new album Reveries yet again shows Lee wearing it all on his sleeve.

Touring U.S. in Spring 2025 and Asia in Summer 2025.
