lyrics:
Feel me out
Safe and sound
I can’t sleep
Make believe

I feel like i’m passing by
Waking, working overtime
A glimmer it lights a smile
and then i sigh
It feels like i’m passing time away
It’s a bright new day
Listen to the sound of the strings I play

And if you’re wasting time with me
We’ll never make it right past three
A single picture worth more than that
Oh my god, do I have to ask?

And if you’re wasting time with me
History is a part of we
I think I like it like that
Feeling real on track

We take all day
We make all the rules
I feel something sweet inside my soul

-

Driving up and down the coast, and I see the floor
(time is never free)
It’s a beautiful day, nothing I ever wanted more
(babe, why can’t you see?)
Kiss you thru the phone, just trying to see what’s right
(love we don’t believe)
Promise I’ll think about you all the time
(5am, can’t sleep)

5am and I Can't Sleep

I Can't Sleep

lyrics:
Maybe one day, I’ll be playing my songs
Everyone will be happy, just singing along
I’m just doing my best, feeling depressed
Maybe one day, I can give it a rest
Maybe one day, I’ll be singing my songs

Maybe one day, I’ll be dancing around
Finally free, finally happy, feeling safe n sound
I’m just doing my best, feeling depressed
Maybe one day, I can give it a rest
Maybe one day, I’ll be singing my songs

Help me take cover
Don’t be my lover

Maybe one day, I’ll be walking around
Everyone is thinking that they know me now
I’m just doing my best, playing pretend
Maybe one day, they can see what I meant
Maybe one day, I’ll be singing my songs

Maybe one day, I’ll be laughing around
Finally free, finally happy, do you miss me now
I’m just doing my best, no second chance
Maybe one day, they’ll be sorry again
Maybe one day, they’ll be singing my songs

Lover

"Florida" by Lost Horizons is out now on Bella Union: https://ffm.to/lh-florida

Lost Horizons - Florida (featuring KookieLou)

LYRICS:

Let’s be hippies oohh
let’s just lay in the fields
and roll down the hills
jump into a river of love
let it flow
continuously grow
so we can float

Let’s be hippies oohh
and never leave the feeling again
make everyone understand
that all this sorrow
could finally meet an end
with the drop of false pretence

Who wouldn’t wanna be a hippie oohh
see that would be a pity
cause if you took a look outside
you’d see the weather is pretty and why
it’s needless to deny
such an easy kind of high
when you’re a hippie

Let’s be hippies oohh
we’ll sleep in our tipis
and wake up with a step outside
to watch the day grow so pretty and bright
to a supernatural sight
feels good to be alive

When you’re a hippie oohh
you take nothing more than you need
cause our world’s remedy ironically
has always come for free and always been
a love that lives within
each and everybody’s skin

Let´s Be Hippies

"Dark Places marks the beginning of a new perspective on how I view the world alongside music. Feelings of nostalgia have overcome many of us, including me in the past two years and I wanted to explore that realm through this song. After hearing the initial vocal demo, I immediately knew that I wanted to draw inspiration from brooding, moody and dark influences and Kwesi's haunting voice and lyrics offer a glimpse of hope that I molded the instrumental production around." - Manila Killa

"We have choices to make every day and sometimes, the mind can go to dark and strange places that are often unhealthy and destructive," said Kwesi.  "At one point or another, we find ourselves scared and confused about the past and what it means for the future.  This song is about finding our way out of that darkness and working to be better for ourselves and those around us every day." -  Kwesi

Stream 'Asking For A Friend' here: https://listen.niceguysrecords.com/asking-for-a-friend

Hector Gachan is back to the Nice Guys family with his sophomore album Care 2 Share. The first introduction to this exciting release is ’Asking For A Friend’. The Bosnian singer now living in Edinburgh mentions the struggles of loneliness and homesickness under the cover of pop-like synths, and a catchy rhythm that turns sorrow in a sweet and sour dream. This song will be your happy place, and bonus, the song comes with a colourful clip that will transport you directly into the artist’s world.

Hector Gachan - Asking For A Friend

i feel it in the air
i think it's everywhere today
this moment we're alone

i hope you find your home tonight
you say you're wrong, but I'm not right
i see him in the sky, it's bright
look up now, open your eyes
it's cupid in the light

the light
in the light
it's cupid
cupid
it's cupid in the light

monastery!
where are you?
who am I these days?
will you please forgive me?
i constantly look at other things
and it's not healthy
for my mind
or my brain
or my heart
it's wealthy
just leave me here
just leave me here to rot and die

to rot and die
to rot and die
i'd rather fly away to another life

"animal pack."

all by me, inside and out.

Hatred Is a Passion Of Theirs

Naarm/Melbourne 4-piece screensaver is back with a double A-side 7-inch single just 6-months after delivering their 10-track debut album Expressions of Interest on Upset the Rhythm to positive international response. See praise for the record on Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll, KEXP, and Post Trash. The album has also been a regular feature on Henry Rollin’s KCRW Santa Monica radio show.

The band return with two distinctly different tracks that extend upon the blend of post-punk, new wave and synth-punk on their debut. Side A, Clean Current is a burst of high-energy: nervy guitars and groovy base underpinned with krautrock drums and cosmic synth noise, overlayed with delay heavy vocals. Repeats is the flipside of the coin, a moody post-punk stomper, led by gritty saw tooth synth, chorus-soaked guitar, textural percussion and soaring vocals. Lyrically Clean Current spits out retorts aimed at the engulfing nature of anxiety whilst Repeats critiques the repetition of modern life, languishing human existence.
Clean Current nods it’s head to likes of Snapper and 80s Flying Nun bands whilst Repeats owes it origins more to the progenitors of goth-rock.
