The Effens - Eventually

"You’ll hear a straightforward rocker that opens with a sonic and vocal
Dinosaur Jr drive but turns quickly into a more melancholic and poppy
modus when the chorus comes up, but still rolling as glowy guitars take
over and provide an electrical finale. Nordic Europe delivers again."

Lyrics:
Still don’t know who I wanna be
Every single person that I see I think
I wanna be you
I wanna be you

When I look in the mirror feel so empty inside
When I’m all alone it’s almost like I’ve died
And I think
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

But I still don’t know who I wanna be
Every single person that I see I think
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

Feel so empty when I look inside 
When I’m all alone it’s almost like I’ve died and I think

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I wanna be you 
I wanna be you
I wanna be you 
I wanna be you

I Wanna Be You

Plate Up (Radio Edit)

"Dreams" explores the melancholy found post-death of a loved one or pet (or both). The moments when you see someone and think it may be the one you have lost, and the unshakeable continuous grief that provides with every re-realisation of that not being the truth.

Musically, it comebines sombre tones with an upbeat melody as the conflicting emotions of strong love are both happy and grief ridden. Lyrically, it is written to pull in the unshakeable weight of the loss. 

East London was in mind, particularly EC3 (Bank) late morning on a busy Thursday, as this is where the most memorable version of this personal experience was felt. So many people, so alone, just walking.
