Less to Say

Toothache

Letting go has been crucial for us in defining our sound and bonding as a band. 

It’s about how the decision to let go can be painful, because we hang on to people or situations. Although sometimes it’s inevitable to let go, in order to grow and to make space for something new.


Letting Go

A cute but sad song about being 182263kms away from someone you love on an airplane.

Need You Now

Creating Honestly was a labor of love, from the first words, to what you hear today. I’ve lived many lives since first writing this album four years ago. I wrote Honestly during a time in my life when I felt lost and directionless.
I was anxiously anticipating an uncertain future while desperately clinging to past sureties.
Now, I look back and see how much I’ve been able to grow, heal, and love through the creative process.
The more I listen to Honestly, the more I realize how intimately interconnected these songs are with each other.
It turns out, the music I wrote during that uncertain time helped me build deeper friendships, stronger relationships, and live in an wonderful reality where I get to pursue my dreams. I am grateful for every note written, every joke made, every tear cried, and every moment spent creating.
I will hold these memories close to my heart forever.

Funny how when I first wrote Honestly, I hadn’t met half the people who would help grow this project into what it is today.
This album would not be complete without the dedication of so many supportive people, both to making music and to helping me fulfill this dream.

I’m grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for listening.

Confesion

just a little more soap, and a little more lather 
if i wash away the dirt, maybe the bruises wont matter

you say "the waters gone cold, lets get out of the shower"
but i just can't face the day, if it means we can't do it together

so you have to excuse me, for procrastinating- what is there to say
can you let me enjoy the last seven years as they are circling the drain

such a shame, mmm

just a little bit longer, my teeth start to chatter
you lips have turned blue, from the bite of the water

and i pull you in closer, sharing our shivers
you say you are getting out first, and you reach for the towel

i'm screaming "don't leave me", would it really be so hard for you to stay?
i'm watching it helplessly, as everything we built is just circling the drain

what a shame, what a shame
what a shame, what a shame

what a shame, but i can't make you stay
if you don't want to stay, we're circling the drain

circling the drain

circling the drain

Tender and honest Fringe-Rock

Delicate, vibrant texture meets conflicting emotions and stomping simplicity. MERLAINE transforms human experiences of fusion and emancipation in an honest but dreamy way: Yet idealistic, sometimes raw and nostalgic, but intimate and expressive at the same time.
