New Hope

disclaimer i do not like jordan peterson
lyrics:
it still might be regarded as unacceptable
to the woke authoritarian moralists
who now insist for example:
that we celebrate pride month
not hour
or day
or week
but month

Messy "fix" of Little Brother, so it's not as flat and somewhat centered. I know that the song is *supposed* to have the low cut but tbh it sounded wrong so yeah.

New Hope, Chapter I - The Great Divide

I ran home cuz I thought I was fired
And man all these joints are tired
And I said “wait” I was waiting for a serenade
Tell me everything about your damn day
Lay me out front if you threw a grenade
So why?
Do I seem distracted to you?
It’s beautiful to lay awake in my eyes

So watch it all be enough for you to take in
Watch it all be enough for you to let in
I tried to face the great divide
It only tired me out

written by graham jonson & elliot cleverdon
produced and performed (a bit out of tune) by me

Ever since I can
Remember, I've been afraid of it forever
It takes a vessel to cross it
Just wanna see
And you've lost it
Could it be why I'm distant
Could it be why I'm like this
I should dive off it
Feel the water on it

But nobody ever taught me how to swim
I never learned how to swim
Do you expect me to just jump in? jump in
I think I know how this is gonna end
Well, nobody ever taught me how to swim
I never learned how to swim
What do you expect me to do?
Just jump in, jump in
I think I know how this is gonna end

i never learned how to swim

i never learned how to swim (cover)

Made this for my gf lol

who if I
double tap
will be sat next to me by the wifi 
it’s a sci-fi funeral
and you say we act as a hive mind 
it’s horrific 
the way i’m addicted to acting on my time
how’d you strip that back 
shits that bad
but i don’t think that you could make me mad 
even if you tried 
i think that’s a lie 
but it’s better to test 
then watching it wreck 
is that for the best 
stuck to my bed 
indulgent  
inconsequent sex

New Hope, Chapter VII - honest
Recorded 2.1.24

oh, don't let em take my breath away again
oh, I'll live forever if I could, if I could
death only matters anyway 
if you have someone to share it with
promise I won't put you on a pedestal
I'll only love you forever
and the sun's getting hotter, oh
but my hope's getting bright
one day we'll have a baby, my love 
one day we'll have a baby
in each other's arms, I love you still
oh, I could look at those brown eyes forever, and see you still

only I know how to love forever
if I could love you still
and only my friends could catch a glipse of the spark
only from the start
read your funny books
and tell me everything inside them
read your funny books
and tell me fuckin' everything

i know the music ain't perfect yet anyway
what the fuck does that even mean?
i'm recording into a focusrite
to tell you i'll love forever

baby I had a dream that you and I were in a library

New Hope, Chapter II - Red Spell

spells, we were talking bout spells
oh well, we were talking bout spells
hell, don't talk about hell
oh well, we were talking bout hell

now I see the difference don't you need me to rest
I swear my intuition tells me nothin' but the best
oh I need a good c---
so take your intuition, get your fuckin' inhibition out your mind
I don't need nobody here to see me whine
I'm crying, don't you see that I was only so depressed cause the best of the people that I had in my mind
oh why?

I'm swimmin' no regrets and babe I only see the sky

woah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah standin' in the way

New Hope, Chapter III - Blue Spell

this isn't what it seems baby
I'm in a dream, and I'm doing fine
still running from the love that keeps me afraid
still loving how your hair looks when it's in a braid
fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"
still waiting for the day to come when you say no
yeah

~

New Hope, Chapter IV - Green Spell

don't you believe?
don't you believe?
don't you we'll be fine, love

this isn't what it seems baby
I'm in a dream, and I'm doing fine
still running from the love that keeps me afraid
still loving how your hair looks when it's in a braid
fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"

fell for you when the moon hit the ground and I said "oh"
I'm still waiting for the day that you say you can let me go
I don't wait for the ways that you say "you can let me know"

don't you believe?
don't you believe?
don't you we'll be fine, love

subliminal the way that you would let me go
and the radio is running the show
I care for you I do, I do
but I only have so much for you
and I can't use all my spells
