Adrianne Lenker - S‫imulation Swarm [acoustic demo/audio enhanced]

modern art

Written and Produced by James Jackson

[VERSE 1]
I WENT OUT TONIGHT
I SHOULD’VE JUST STAYED IN BED
THERE’S NOTHING ANYMORE
THERE’S NOTHING ANYMORE FOR ME TO SAY

[VERSE 2]
I’M WALKING YOU BACK
OR IS IT YOU WALKING ME
I’M CLUTCHING TO YOUR ARM
I’M CLUTCHING TO WHATEVER I CAN BREATHE

[CHORUS]
BUT I KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE
THAT I’M A LIAR
AND I KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE
MY SCREWED UP DESIRES
I'M COUNTING THE STREET LIGHTS, CRAWLING HOME
AND I’M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I’LL TURN OUT ALONE
AND THIS IS HOW I END
THAT’S HOW I’LL END

[VERSE 3]
I LOOSENED MY HEART
BUT I JUST PANICKED INSTEAD
I COULD’VE SAID THE WORDS
I COULD’VE SAID THAT I’M FEELING OK

[VERSE 4]
BUT YOU WOULDN’T KNOW
AND I DON’T THINK YOU SEE
THE BROKEN IN MY EYES
THE BROKEN SHARDS OF GLASS BENEATH MY FEET

[CHORUS]

Over Myself (demo)

Words and music by the incredible Maia Rowan , produced by Ethan Calouro

Modern Art - Maia Rowan atrium demo

this song is a metaphor. please enjoy <3

lyrics:
it hurts more 
coming round again a second time
call it rebound or relapse
my spine's on its way out and I'm just trying to hold it back

getting caught in that net is so easy to do 
when there's nothing else there to hold onto
and you're drowning and splashing
eyes wide as you're crashing

I couldn't find a tether to this reality
but then I found it in a needle that you handed to me
and I couldn't help but take it when you gave me that smile
that convinced me that it was alright
it's alright

step outside
breathe me in and tell me lies
corrupt me with your mould
and then throw me to the wolves
as long as you hold me at the end of the night

getting lost in your eyes is too easy to do
when your silhouette usually causes me to
hide out in the shadows
but I'll still walk you home

I couldn't find a tether to this reality
but then I found it in a needle that you handed to me
and I couldn't help but take it when you gave me that smile
that convinced me that it was alright
it's alright

*guitar solo*

it's alright.

Heroin (Live from the Jacaranda)

I wrote this song by myself in my grandparents’ basement in July of 2018. I wrote it on a really old Casio keyboard using a tone called Fantasy that I love and that I haven’t found on any other keyboard before or since. It was called Fourth of July for AGES and I sometimes still call it that when I’m not paying attention. I actually didn’t like it when I wrote it, but it’s evidently grown on me because it’s here! 

Fireworks was recorded in Memphis, Tennessee in early January(I spent New Year’s Eve in Nashville which was amazing). We used a Fender Rhodes piano on this song which I’m really lucky to have been able to do. Recording this, and the other songs I recorded in Memphis was absolutely the funnest thing I’ve ever done ever and I never ever ever want to forget it.
My hope for this song is that people can relate to it and connect with it in some way. That’s my hope for all my music, really. I make music to understand myself and I love the feeling of being vulnerable and connected at the same time. It’s an electric feeling. Put concisely, I hope this song makes you feel something. 💥
