Sirens is a song about the best kinds of friendship. Being able to be there for someone else is sometimes exactly what you need when you're feeling lost or alone.

Sirens

Sit at the window
Watch nothing go by
Hear your voice so far away on the other end of the line
Counting all the times you said to me
We’ll be alright
I could write them down and pin them up
At my bedside

Spinning around like sirens
The people
But all that I hear is silence
You pull me through and talk to me

How did you know that I 
Needed someone to be
There how you know that I 
Need someone to be there for 

Sit at the window
Flashing our lights
Maybe we’re still far away but we know we’re safe in the night 
Wide awake and dreaming of the day
We’ll be alright

How did you know that I 
Needed someone to be
There how you know that I 
Need someone to be there for 

Spinning round this crowd full of sirens
But I’m alone and hearing nothing but silence 
So won’t you fill the walls with the thoughts in your mind
I need someone here to talk to about all this time
That we're spending

Sirens

River run deep, river run wild
Something I feel that I can’t define
I’m either at peace or in denial
It’s getting clearer and clearer now
Somehow

I’m holding on to what you taught me 
But it gets harder every day
I was a snowflake, but you caught me
This time nobody’s paving the way
Through the haze

River run deep, river run wild
After some time every river runs dry
Some of us stay and hope for the tides
Others just say it’s a waste of time
But I’m 

Still holding on to what you taught me 
I cling to the words you no longer say
I was a snowflake, but you lost me
This time nobody’s paving the way 
Through the haze
Well I’m sorry 
But now I know

So bring out the horns and
Play them louder
Cause I think savior is headed our way
I’m almost certain that it’s out there
We’ve just been looking in the wrong place
Through the haze

River run deep, river run wild
Maybe we’ve just fallen out of line
But that’s alright, that’s alright
Maybe it has to hurt sometimes
Life is hard
But it’s not hard right now

It’s not hard right now
It’s not hard right now

River Run Wild

Through the Pines - Live

Do you hope for uncontitional love?
Do you search for uncontitional love?
Do you strive for unconditional, uncontitional love?
...
What d'you think of freely feeling love?
Do you dream of unconditional love?
Do you search for unconditional, unconditional love?
Do you strive for unconditional, unconditional love?

LYRICS:

Love I think it's time we settle down
Ignore the thoughts, the rushes through your mind
Somewhere on the floors of oceans wide
the things we had
But lost

You say you don't want us to live our lives
In places where the sun forgets to shine
Somewhere up above the clouds it hides
The things we had but lost

Cause you're a mountain I can't climb
But I can see now
That I'm safe within your valleys, oh
And whatever's on your mind
Just let it be now
And the future's out of our control

And I can see it's eating you alive
You don't know how it feels when it feels right
Stuck between your love and doubt am I
'tween what you should
or now

But you're a mountain I can't climb
But I can see now
That I'm safe within your valleys, oh
Whatever lies upon your mind
Just let it be now
Cause the future's out of our control

Within Your Valleys

This is track 9 of the 10-track release series "Signs of Life"
The song focus is that in times of acute stress one coping mechanism looking back on past experiences - it’s why people contact lost loves etc; as a way to validate the choices made? So if it were all to end, there’s a sense that we did OK, or at least the bad decisions didn’t have lasting ramifications. Sometimes to say what we really wanted to at the time but didn’t have the courage to, and we’re now spurred on by an existential force. Hopefully, I hope I was a good friend.

Lyrics:

Analogue summers, when the sun never seemed to go down. 
Futures so abundant, they weren’t something talked about. 
But then your voice on that call made an arresting sound. 
Oh, the words stopped me dead then but it’s the feeling that halts me now. Please don’t say you’re going to let me down. 

Suspended sentences: silence speaks. 
So loud. 
If everything made sense, there’d be nothing to think about. 
That is not one crumb of comfort to me now. 
Old-man-wisdom rarely falls from a young man’s mouth. 
I know that I am going to let you down  

The broken hearted policed the gathering crowds. 
There’s no rhyme or reason here, to why I made it out. 
So, we promised to never forget, 
A tie to what was left, we bound. 
A hopeful flower planted in barren ground.

I was always going to let you down. 
I was always going, I was always going,
Always gone.

Please Don't Say You're Going (To Let Me Down)

Cotton (English translation)

We wear a comfortable shirt
We drink coffee in a comfortable room
We don’t want to know about
Their tears and anger they weaved into cotton
What do we compete for?
The whole world already noticed that

We wear a comfortable shirt
We drink coffee in a comfortable room
We don’t want to know about
Their pain contained in the aroma and bitterness
What is the whole world losing?
We already noticed that

コットン

着心地のいいシャツを着ている
心地いい部屋でコーヒーを飲む
木綿の生地に紡がれている
涙や怒りを知りたくもない
僕らは何を競っている
世界はすでに気づいている

着心地のいいシャツを着ている
心地いい部屋でコーヒーを飲む
香りの奥に、苦みの中に
詰まった痛みを知りたくもない
世界は何を失くしている
僕らはすでに気づいている

Hodges - Cotton (コットン)

a song about climate change

------------------------------------------------------------

staring at the sunset
walking in the rain
how did we all get here
costumed in our blame

and the fires burning from the sun
as we shelter from the storm
and the water telling us to run
before it swallows up our love

how are we supposed to stay afloat
the waves are flowing out of control
would you keep it or let go
how are we supposed to stay afloat
the waves are flowing out of control
we're sinking and nobody's made a boat

bathed in clouds of empty rain
blinded by the grey
sun on the horizon
soaking all signs of yesterday

and the fires burning from the sun
as we shelter from the storm
and the water telling us to run
before it swallows up our love

how are we supposed to stay afloat
the waves are flowing out of control
would you keep it or let go
how are we supposed to stay afloat
the waves are flowing out of control
we're sinking and nobody's made a boat

we're sinking and nobody's made a boat
we're sinking and nobody's made a boat
we're sinking and nobody's made a boat
we're sinking and nobody's made a boat

in a world of lies and misinformation
in a world of deceit and no conformation
of joy and hope and all things bright
we're left here together for one big fight

the fight for a lifetime, the fight for a generation
the fight for every person to stand in reclamation
and give back what belongs to her.

she told you to run but you didn't listen
she told you to help, but you didn't care
now that she's gone, you're shifting position
wishing a boat was there.

in reality, which we are in
there's not much time to begin
when you start late, and start last
therefore we must act fast

differences aside, without our hate
we must stand together and work with haste
to make the world a better place
and maybe we won't even need to build a boat...
