Heartbreaker

No Constraint

“'Doin’ Alright' feels like floating through a montage of moments from a past relationship from a 3rd person perspective. Some sweet and sentimental moments, others problematic in hindsight. The sounds, melodies, and harmonies feel like the space between the time of a heartbreak, and the present day having healed from it. The lyrics feel like the knowledge that you’ll never quite be the same, but probably in a good way."

Perfect Wonder

let go

The debut single from Night House + Reid is an 80’s tinged pop banger. 

Orchestral flourishes and analogue synthesisers are juxtaposed with angular vocals and captivating melodies. Put the past behind you and let’s drive!

What if I climbed back down off the table?
Stopped mouthing off to the kids around the neighborhood
Put it in park at the farm market parking lot
I eye em as they try to buy the fruits of their labor
White smoke pouring from a 4-door truck and the stereo’s stuck playing Smooth Operator
Reaching for your gun or your sticking out your tongue spitting sibilant scum I’m like “cool see you later”
But wow
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
Oh my wow!
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?
E-F-F-E-C-T pedal is it a signal chain maze or a short in the cable?
Alot of these songs might be long in the tooth like a phone booth dial tone smooth operator
Wow!
Who you gonna bark at now?
Where you gonna park that truck?
What’re you gonna drive around?
I know you like to back it in
But how you gonna back it out?
Oh you’re gonna fuck it up?
Or are you gonna pass the buck huh?

Grocer - Smooth Operator

Painting a vivid picture of teenage restlessness, Suburbia is an ode to growing up in a suburban reality filled with mundane routine and big dreams. It's a journey that unwinds with every second, leading to a freeing emotional breakthrough.

Suburbia

lyrics:
You ask how much I love you  
I'll tell you true   
Until the Twelfth of Never 
I'll still be loving you 

Hold me close 
Never let me go  
Hold me close
Melt my heart, like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells
Forget to bloom 
and baby I'll love you 'til the roses 
have lost their perfume 

And I’m gonna love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme 
Until the Twelfth of Never 
And that's a long, long time

twelfth of never (nina simone cover)
