I don’t think I’ll ever get to know her
But we spent some time one summer back
It was a beautiful summer where nobody’s watched over
By the fallen angels climbing their way back
And nothing comes to mind
If I think of any kind words we had
Or good times from bad
Who can tell?
Listen now, I mean it when I tell you
The girl, she had a mind all her own
Like when she asked me once “Are you good at keeping secrets?
Cause if you tell you’ll live a thousand years alone.”
Well, nothing comes to mind
If I hear any mention of her name
It hits me just the same
If I don’t
The sun was like a giant, sick and kneeling
The river was all mixed up with his sweat
The grass was sweet and calming in the open air
Cause the autumn wind hadn’t got there yet
But nothing comes to mind
No, it’s no good
It makes me sad
Like I knew it would

Neo-Nostalgia, out on 27 August 2021, is the first alluring glimpse of Private Agenda’s forthcoming sophomore album: A Mannequin. A Mannequin will be released on Lo Recordings on 22 October 2021 via digital platforms and limited-edition LP. 

Neo-Nostalgia is time-travelling in musical form. A warm electronic pop exposition in the vein of Toro y Moi and Bullion, it’s a throwback to the future. 

A compelling first glimpse of their latest body of work entitled A Mannequin, lead single Neo-Nostalgia blends the forward-thinking electronica of Jessy Lanza and Yves Tumor, along with the soft, soulful pop of Babeheaven and Erika de Casier.

Intersection IV

Below Zero

Below Zero - LoveTheMachine feat. FOKKER

The searching for something 'other', the knowing that there must be more to it all than meets the modern-day eye is at the heart of why I put pen to paper and write songs but 'Nothing Sacred' is the first time I've spoken so explicitly about it. 

When you talk to people, you soon find that most are searching for something though they're not sure what or how to find it. This song is an attempt to explore that human need to pursue the feeling that there must be something greater than ourselves.

Inbetween lyrics 

We don’t mean what we say 
But we like the way it sounds
Only smiling for the pictures
But you really couldn’t tell 

We’re just caught in the in between 
Real and imaginary
Won’t someone pull me through
Any side will do 

(3x)
We don’t make love
We make art
We don’t make love
We break hearts 

It's all just a contest 
To see who can care less
And no one wants to come in last
But do you really wanna win?

We’re just caught in the in between 
Real and imaginary
Won’t someone pull me through
Any side will do 

The world is full of kings and queens
Silver and gold, shiny things 
They blind your eyes
And steal your dreams 

Caught in the in between 
Of who we are 
And who we want to be
Won’t someone pull me through
Any side will do

We’re just caught in the in between 
Real and imaginary
Won’t someone pull me through
Any side will do

(3x)
We don’t make love
We make art
We don’t make love
We break hearts
