Nansea - Hounds

A song of quiet revelation and introspection, "At The Source" is a delicate, soul-stirring piece from Alison James that lingers like a whispered truth. Anchored by gentle piano melodies and a tender vocal delivery, the song unfolds with poetic lyricism, exploring hope, renewal, and the search for deeper meaning.

Originally released in 2015, "At The Source" found its perfect home in the closing credits of the 2018 major motion picture An Interview With God, where its meditative beauty resonated alongside the film’s profound themes. The song’s depth is further enriched by RichGBK’s stunning string and digital arrangement, showcasing his classical training and ability to craft emotionally immersive soundscapes. With its hushed elegance and reflective depth, this track invites listeners to pause, breathe, and embrace the quiet wisdom found in stillness.

At The Source

Lyrics

[Intro]
I give you all of my attention
But somehow, you don't seem
To care about that darling
Why don't you seem
To think

[Verse]
That we're not more than temporary
That's fucked up to tell me
Don't you think

[Pre-Chorus]
What happened between us, darling
I don't seem to see
My heart breaking down
As I write this song
I don't seem to think
You see

[Chorus]
My heart as your safeguard
Oh darling, why don't you believe
You take advantage of my attention
But darling, that's not fair to me
Heart breaking
You did that
To me, oh damnit
Don't pretend that
You're perfect
And this is worthless
You didn't fall in love
Oh darling, that's
So fucked up
I hate how
You act a stranger
When I was all
You wanted
Back then
Now you won't even reply to me no
So fucked up
I hate how
You act a stranger
That's so wild
Don't tell me
We're too different to make this work
Oh darling, don't

[Bridge]
I give you all of my attention
But somehow, you don't seem

[Hook]
To care about that darling
Why don't you seem
To think

[Outro]
That we're not more than temporary
That's fucked up to tell me
Don't you think

Story of Eyes

In the story of eyes I met Soul, 
In a dream where I met all. 
Iris of place I did not know, 
Lost my all control.
In your eyes I met scene, 
beautiful like a dream.
In your eyes I met scene, 
beautiful like a dream.
Lines of life in your hand,
in a scene like a sand.
Where wind blows in your mind, 
I met Soul in your eyes.
In your eyes I met scene, 
beautiful like a dream.
In your eyes I met scene, 
beautiful like a dream.
Life of dreams in your hand, 
Like a blackhole where I stand. 
Between stars of your Soul, 
where I lost my soil.
In your eyes I met scene, 
beautiful like a dream.
In your eyes I met scene, 
beautiful like a dream.

🔻 Song Insight
“Why Do I Do This to Myself?” is a soft-spoken confession wrapped in retro colors and emotional vulnerability. It tells the story of forbidden longing—those moments when friendship blurs with desire, and you're left staring at someone you can't have, heart full, hands still. The lyrics unfold like pages from a teenage diary, capturing a fleeting night where silence says everything, and dreams feel more real than daylight.

The song lives in the quiet between words: a brush of a foot, a shared laugh, a whispered maybe. It’s not just about heartbreak—it’s about almost love. The kind that hurts not because it ended, but because it never truly began.

Framed in lo-fi folk textures and subtle storytelling, “Why Do I Do This to Myself?” resonates with anyone who’s ever wanted more than someone could give... and held onto the hope that maybe, just maybe, they felt it too.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
Laying across from me... just friends
Seeing you move in your sleep
Your foot brushed my leg
Caught in your stare
Blushed... looked away
I know, I know you're not gay
Stop barking up the tree in '93

[Verse 1]
You smirked and smiled
Rolled over
Closed your eyes
Why do I do this to myself
Fall in love
With the one I can't love

[Verse 2]
Looking at you asleep
So perfect
So kind
So sweet
Your eyes
Your ears
Your perfect nose
Even your feet...
Those socks

[Bridge]
I got caught again
You leaned in close
Put your face near mine
And said the best thing I ever heard you say
"I'm not what I used to be
I don't bite
Unless you want me to"
You tilted your head
Pressed your lips to mine
I thought I had died
This sweet perfection... was mine

[Verse 3]
We stayed up talking
Till our eyes gave in
Falling asleep on my chest
Feeling you breathe with me
The best dream I had

[Verse 4]
I sang you a song
One I had written
Long ago
The first time I saw you
The moment I fell
In love

[Chorus]
Oh boy, it's a boy
Got trapped inside
Don’t wanna hide
Come say hi
He's a keeper
A friend for life
He’ll never know
It’s true... it’s love
I feel
Through and through

[Verse 5]
I wished he could see
This love that's in me
It's all I have to be
This light
So bright
Keeps me up all night

[Outro]
I awoke
Thought you were gone
Then realized
It was all a dream
A dream
That can never be

🔻 Personal Reflection
This one hit harder than most.
It’s not about a breakup or a fight. It’s about what never got the chance to exist.
“Why Do I Do This to Myself?” came from a real night—back in high school, back when everything felt so massive and quiet at the same time. I remember laying there, next to him, every nerve aware, every breath like a question mark.

The striped socks were real. So was the tension. So was the moment when he said something—playful maybe, maybe more—and for a second I thought, this might actually happen.
It didn’t. But I remember every detail like it did.

This song is for anyone who’s ever read too deeply into a smile… who dared to hope even when they knew better. It's for the quiet crushes, the never-said-anythings, the dreams that leave a mark even if they don’t leave a trace.

Writing it was like opening a sealed letter from myself… and realizing the ink never faded.
