Oh it hurts when it’s over
dust still on the ground
sure they all told you
”see where this train’s bound?”

You keep counting the bodies
like it matters now
how many have fallen
hey, we’re still around

Let it go
the stream is strong
it keeps dragging you along
oh, it’s all show
sounds like kids but looks like rock n roll
oh, honey I don't know
how to let it go

You throw gear out the window
something heavy that’ll make a sound
scare the birds and the trees now
let ’em know you’re around

Nothing about this is holy
it will crush you, pull you down
he seems nice but you hear it
something’s wrong with the sound

Let it go
the stream is strong
it keeps dragging you along
oh, it’s all show
sounds like kids but looks like rock n roll
oh, honey I don't know
how to let it go

The dirt is deep here
But i don’t mind it 
Cause soft and easy is overrated
I keep listening to hallelujah
I don’t know how to get through to you
If you’d die, I’d wish you were here
to hold my head and to dry off tears
honey I don’t know
how to let it go

Oh let me go
this stream is strong it keeps
dragging me along
oh, it’s all show
I’m a kid but it looks like rock n roll
honey I don’t know
honey I don’t know
honey I don't know
how to let it go

Little Stream is a Stockholm based indie rock group with their roots in Swedish mining towns north of the arctic circle. Drawing inspiration from a diverse spectrum of musical influences ranging from the introspective melodies of singer-songwriters like Phoebe Bridgers and Ray Lamontagne to the sonic landscapes of bands such as Big Thief and Bon Iver. Infused with a sprinkle of '90s nostalgia, the band creates romantic indie rock with hints of Americana. At the heart of Little Stream's music lies profound reflections on the past, tinged with a sense of longing. Their lyrics delve into the essence of nostalgia, reflecting on communities either entirely erased or drastically transformed by the expanding mines; the yearning for physical spaces to anchor childhood memories.

Little Stream was formed in Stockholm in a studio collective together by friends Anna, Jussi and Elin during the covid-19 pandemic. Soon after guitar player Johan joined the band. The first years of the band’s existence was spent writing and recording demos of a bunch of songs. In the fall of 2023 the band recorded their first album in their own studio, Studio Lur. The name Little Stream comes from the rivers and creeks that are the blood flow of the northern part of Sweden where the band has its roots.
