Indie Pop / Rock Playlist | BIRP! July 2025

The cherry blossom start
A summer with all the bugs
We stumble out for air
Like we've never seen the world
The tags inside our collars
Cut them out for good
And wash them till they're soft

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine

The skin we lost is settled
In corners we don't go
And growing like the guilt
Of never calling home

I can tell
You're gonna leave a mark on me
All as well
We're weaning off cetirizine
I can tell
You're in it till you can't be seen
For a while
And then we're trading allergies

Heartstrings

Jodi

You wanna speak your mind
It’s all just mighty fine
The time you take to compromise
I try to turn the tides

Nothing feels just right
Right there in my palms
To hold your words and see your eyes

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Your keeping up on time
Growing up and showing up to work
Loading up high
Practicing that smile

I translate all the time
My love for you
And so you do
I hope you realise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

I see blue skies
I see the light
I see blue skies
I see the light
It’s hard to release
It’s hard to memorise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memories
You wanna speak your mind
It’s all just mighty fine
The time you take to compromise
I try to turn the tides

Nothing feels just right
Right there in my palms
To hold your words and see your eyes

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Your keeping up on time
Growing up and showing up to work
Loading up high
Practicing that smile

I translate all the time
My love for you
And so you do
I hope you realise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise
It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

I see blue skies
I see the light
I see blue skies
I see the light
It’s hard to release
It’s hard to memorise

It’s hard to realise
It’s hard to memorise

Hard To Memorise

Cut Through

Broken People

hold me close becuase 
I ain't loved in a while 
and you're the reason I don't smile 
been alone for a while now 
could it be so simple 
couldn't ever be so simple yea 
girl your hearts a shattered window mines more like a torn up rubber band 
i wish things had ended different 
you don't know what you had till it's gone 
i wish things had ended different
sad thing is nothing would be different if I did it all again
keeping my head up cuz there's no other way 
running from love cuz there's no other way 
high up above smoking my lungs away
thinking of us the distance is miles away
push came to shove showed u my love today 
idgaf I wish that I could today 
it's been hella rough 
but im calling it bluff that don't think of us 2 
intuition keep telling me that u thinking bout me and what had we gone thru 
double up just to double down 
life's a gamble without u I'm running out 
if could I would best believe it 
loving u deeply by me leaving 
I've been hurt all fucking season 
I'm no good for u I mean it
I meant it 
when u die look for me in heaven 
I'll be there awaiting ur presence
maybe then we can start what was forever destined yea

If you're still listening (Prod. Dan Darmawan)

cigarettes after sex ~ apocalypse live [slowed + reverb]

We suffered a loss a few years ago that plunged us into depression and grief.  We kept seeing him and hearing him in the house for months after, but he was gone.  

This song was written in that time as a way to express that deep loss we felt and to always remember him.

The light shines in from the moon
Clair de Lune plays in a room
You’re in my arms saying good-bye
Holding you just makes me cry
Your shadow keeps following me
I look around, there’s nothing to see
I hear a sound from down the hall
And silently, I fall

Silently We Fall
