So Blue (For You)


I say yes
I do understand 
You deserve it
And I don’t 
Catch those bowls 
That are yours 
And present them
It’s a show 
Don’t you know
Oh come on
You do want it
As I do 
Yes it’s true
It’s true
They are blue
Incredibly blue
For you

And I hope you’re happy
So happy for everything 
Can’t you see
I made it for you 
It’s for you
For you 

I say yes
I do understand 
You deserve it
And I don’t 
It’s an alternative kiss
The way we meet
Every time that I dream
With my open eyes 
Staring In your open eyes
Until you smile it away 
Oh come on
You do want it
As I do 
Yes it’s true
It’s true
They are all blue
Incredibly blue
For you

And I hope you’re happy
So happy for everything 
Can’t you see
I made it for you 
It’s for you
For you 

But you’re never happy 
And I feel blue
So blue
For you

You’re never happy 
And my life is blue
So blue 
Because of you

And in the end I know 
That I 
I feel blue
So blue 
For you
For you

You’re never happy 
And my life is blue
So blue 
Because of you

And in the end I know 
That I 
I’m not happy at all

So Blue (For You)

Till Death Do Us Part

a part of my morning routine is making a coffee, and a recent mishap resulted in the smashing of my sugar bowl lid, the bowl itself was already cracked but i was fine with that, so lately i'd make the coffee and think to look up sugar bowls as locally the selection has been crap/nonexistent... by the time i'm settled in for the rest of my morning i've completely forgotten about it... so this is an audio reminder to get a sugar bowl finally.

Each track is a milestone on a path of discovery, drawing you into a realm where emotion and adventure collide.

Return to the Mountains opens with whispers of wind and nature’s call, its spoken-word mantras and orchestral surges crafting a ritualistic dance under starlit skies. Fracture unleashes jagged, chaotic percussion with defiant chants, celebrating the thrill of breaking free. Fracture (Up Is Down Remix) reimagines the chaos with a bold, inverted twist that flips expectations and amplifies the tension. Emerge rises from dark piano chords and heavy 808s with haunting female vocals, its downtempo trip-hop beat and reverb-drenched synths unveiling secrets from the storm—lyrics of shadows dancing and roots running deep, emerging stronger from the mire. Headlights cuts through the night with driving beats and lyrics of freedom on winding roads, while Horizon pushes forward with an uplifting pulse, urging you toward new frontiers. Lost on the Ridges weaves a mysterious, immersive vibe, and Rise from Fire rises with fiery energy, symbolizing rebirth.

Lyrics:
lonely eyes and a save me smile I know I could die tonight
junior high and I’m getting by
I don’t wanna try

I wanna take you home boy
come with me out in the light
living as(for) somebody else boy
open your eyes
you gotta try boy
open your eyes
squeezing the palm of my hand
in these bodies, we are alone

what could I have changed your mind
tell me
what good when we’re out of time
won’t say that I never tried
will you
set me free by the river side

and let it
take my body

let it take me
back to the river

lonely eyes and a save me smile standing halfway in the night
'cross the room in this neon tomb 
let it be the satellite  

I wanna take you home boy 
come with me out in the light 
living as(for) somebody else boy 
open your eyes 
you gotta try boy 
open your eyes 
who doesn’t need another friend 
in these bodies, we are alone 

what could I have changed your mind
tell me
what good when we’re out of time
won’t say that I never tried
will you
set me free by the river side

and let it
take my body

let it take me
back to the river

Open Your Eyes

Sparked by a color or song that recalls the most joyful and tragic moments in your life, a sense memory vaults you into the distant past. These subtle triggers remind us that memory isn’t confined to the mind; it lives in the body, too. Phantogram’s fifth album, Memory of a Day, captures that disorienting sense of time travel. “We put these songs together as a capsule, thinking about how a certain sound or melody can bring you back instantly to a memory of a day,” Phantogram says. 

While they were recording, the duo fixated on life calendars, a gridded sheet in which each unit represents a single week of a person’s life on the planet. As you fill in the grid, you witness the progression of your life in stark terms. The older you get, the darker the grid becomes, reminding you of how much time you have lived, and how little you may have left. “It’s this exploded view,” Phantogram says. “Like an image of Earth from a distance.” The life calendar is both morbid and nostalgic, a physical representation of our ephemeral time on Earth. 

“Days are only numbers,” Sarah Barthel sings on the chorus of “Come Alive.” That lyric became a north star for the duo as they set forth to make Memory of a Day. At once heavy and ebullient, “Come Alive” distills the lasting impact Phantogram has made on popular culture. Since their 2010 debut, Eyelid Movies, Phantogram has been comparable to no one, futurists who still manage to stay ahead of the curve more than a decade into their career. Their genre-bending approach to pop has led them to work with everyone, from Big Boi, with whom they founded Big Grams, to Subtronics, Future Islands, Deftones, the Flaming Lips, Tom Morello, and Miley Cyrus, to name just a few. A festival staple across the globe, Phantogram has also toured with Queens of the Stone Age, Arcade Fire, the XX, and many more. “We’ve always been proud of that: not being afraid of the experimental.”

Though their music has always been future-facing, to make Memory of a Day, Phantogram looked back. “Recording this album, it felt like how it did when we first started making music together,” Phantogram says. Alongside special collaborators like Mikky Ekko and Dan Wilson, Phantogram was joined in the studio by producer John Hill, who helmed Phantogram’s second album, Voices. The duo experimented in the studio and indulged in the music that brought them together in the beginning, artists such as J Dilla, Prince, Slowdive, and so much more. They reference new wave acts like the Talking Heads, ESG, and Liquid Liquid as influences on the percussive punk track “Feedback Invisible,” which is followed by the wistful burst of color “Attaway.” It’s a shoegaze song so sumptuous “you can almost see the grain in the guitar sounds.” 

Phantogram think in images when they write, drawing on scenes from films that linger with them years on. “Ever since Eyelid Movies, our work has been visually driven,” Phantogram says. In the video for the fuzzed-out waltz “All a Mystery,” snippets of human lives coalesce into a montage of experience. “Erase all the tapes in my mind/ Throw them all away,” Barthel sings, accompanied by a bittersweet swell of synths. “Turn back the tables of time/ Let all those memories die.” A swirl of memories, both triumphant and tragic, surface on Memory of a Day. “Come Alive” was written after Barthel experienced a transformative live show on her own, while the title track recounts the moment Josh Carter had to put his dog down. “It’s what you wanted, but couldn’t say,” he sings. “I’m not afraid of dying or what it feels like”

The album’s penultimate track, “Happy Again,” is a thrumming, bass-heavy rock song with a chorus that sounds like a wave crashing against the sand. “Another empty summer sunset/ Feeling homesick,” Barthel sings ahead of the bridge, her voice catching on the breezy, luminous production. “Can you believe this is your life?” It’s a moment of realization Phantogram compares to the dour scene in Forrest Gump, where Lieutenant Dan, “mega depressed and drunk,” throws a bummer New Year’s Eve party. Still, the song ends with an enlivening mantra. “I can be happy again,” Barthel repeats as guitars careen and crash. If days are only numbers, then how else can a person measure a life? On “Ashes,” the answer seems to be in moments of resilience. Based on the adage “you came into this world alone and you’ll leave it alone,” the throbbing production infused with elements of trip hop, shoegaze and indie accompanies Barthel as she reminds the listener: “Ashes rise, ashes rise.”

When they penned the lyrics, Phantogram thought of the mythical phoenix spreading its wings after catastrophe to take flight. The vulnerable, even despairing moments on Memory of a Day are stark, but they’re buoyed by a relentless optimism that has driven this project from the outset. In the Los Angeles studio where they recorded Memory of a Day, Phantogram often marveled at the distance they’ve come, both physically and spiritually, since they first started making music together in a barn in Upstate New York. “Tomorrow never knows,” Barthel nods to the Beatles on “Come Alive.” The accumulation of days together tell a story bigger than any finite lifetime, and Phantogram’s life calendar is only a fraction full.
