 The Vancouver-based musician Echo Frame takes inspiration from all corners of the music world and swirls them into a bottomless pot of indie, soul, surf-rock, disco and more. With “Belladonna”, the songwriter invokes a blissful, genreless euphoria as he unlaces his narrative of romantic infatuation. The way Echo Frame partners funky guitar lines with dreamy vocals and a strolling rhythm section makes us particularly impatient for the release of his upcoming EP...

Lyrics:
Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Is it just because I say i want it all
Is it just me 'cause, no that's not me at all
I know I say stuff that I don't mean at all
I've been thinking 'bout it and it just don't make no sense at all

Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Girl you're feeling lonely
Don't you know that that's how I've been feeling mostly?
Yeah I'm lost but you can show me now

It's not just because, it's not how I wanted
And nothing can change that now

Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
Why your mom want me to turn it down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Pieces Of Summer

Clay Pigeon

This is a punk rock song written in the wake of the glorious train-wreck that was 2020. The song's steady driving beat and ever intensifying bite expresses a sense of hope and resolve to help fight the good fight, whatever that may be. Like many, we found ourselves knocked down and humbled last year, but we have hope the world will come out of it a better place. Much love

so tell me this is who you are
they tell me ive got something more
and oh you could be loved
but i dont want the lights to find me when im dark and lost
but never on my own

cos i just wanna swing like sinatra
singing like i cant stop
cos i could never rock like a rolling stone
i just wanna live like the ones before
and maybe i could play guitar like hendrix
or save the world or end it
and then maybe youll remember me when im gone
thats all i could ever want
thats all i want

so i got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
whoever wants to hear
and i got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat till im burnt out and disappear
but i owe you nothing
and i own my luck
oh they said youll never be alone again
but i dont think you understand me or what i fear
but you could be loved
but i dont want to lie to tell myself
im more than all the mistakes ive out run

cos im only here for a minute
and i dont care what you say cos i know
youre only here cos im winning
but i can be my own kind of rock and roll like
i dont really care if you say you dont fuck with me
and i can say what the fuck i want cos its down to me
and i got love for you even if you are doubting me
like oh my god i just cant stop

cos i just wanna sing like sinatra
with ethanol my soundtrack
cos i could never rock like a rolling stone
i wonder how it feels to burn out young
cos i just wanna die before my heart fails
from heartbreak or cocktails and
then maybe youll cry once you know im gone
thats all i could ever want
oh thats all i want

cos i aint scared of living
i aint scared of living
no i aint scared of living
cos its all weve got
what are we breathing for if we aint living
and i dont want your love
i just want to feel like im still living
and if there is no god
ill know the day i die i lived through heaven
and that i gave it hell
and if it hurt oh well at least thats living

thats all i want

sex drugs and rock and roll thats all i want
whats under the words you know thats all i want
something more than superficial is all i want
sex drugs and rock and roll thats all i want

/i aint scared of living.

i think you think too much of me

rock + roll

i met the devil in the hills last night
i was driving by myself, alone
he said boy what you running from?
i said i dont know

i dont know if it was a better time
but girl we were giants then
endless nights we were infinite
summers end would mean the death of us

but summer past
and we grew up
and all of our paths
they split up
and i havent seen your face or heard your voice in so long
so so long
we had a good run
its over now

lying on the grass talk is so old
living under orion we grew so bold
lying on our days we were outlaws
our loss but
catch me if you can
never wiped out
trying to catch a wave
trying to break out
i guess i didnt know

and now im gone
but it dont hurt me anymore
thats just the way it goes
yeah i shouldve known
but i heard you talking through the walls late last night
there are no ends just grays and half-lives
half time
its alright

that summer past
and we grew up
and all of our plans
they split us up
and i havent seen your face or heard your voice in so long
so so long
we had a good run
its over now

so please dont fade me out
so please dont lose me now

i heard the words that you never said
smoke screen from a cigarette
exhale we can never be whats in our heads
elevation doesnt matter now its straight ahead
sending shivers down my spine, life pirouettes
its cool, were used to losing real friends
only ever feeling it in retrospect
and we were really breathing not silhouettes
maybe in another dream this would never end

cos everything is not alright
and we are falling
but thats just life without some lows there is no highs
and everything will be ok
though we are all hurting
cos time flies fast and you know no pain is forever

ever

It's about indulging in nostalgia and missing long nights with friends. It's about giving yourself what you want, even if just for the night.
