Oh it seems
You've never been big enough for dreams or magazines
But the way you speak 
And the way you think makes fools of kings and queens
Even you silence
Holds it's own kind of quality
Place your fingers on my eyelids
Maybe then I'll begin to see
Maybe then I'll begin to see

Oh and hold me closer
And never mind the things they say
And when I burn the coast clear
We'll pack our things and run away

And on a bed
Of fire and heat, we'll place the things we've seen
And then forget
Because where we're headed it better than where we've been
Where we're headed is better than where we've been

Oh and hold me closer
And never mind the things they say
And when I burn the coast clear
On rebel's wings we'll fly away

Love Grew Legs

“Black Velvet Spell” is a hauntingly sensual and melancholic ambient pop/shoegaze song written for a delicate female voice, reminiscent of the vocal style of Lana Del Rey and Rihanna. The song explores the psychological and emotional entanglement between the narrator and a mysterious, dangerously alluring lover cloaked in metaphorical (and perhaps literal) black velvet. The tone is both romantic and dark, with a dreamlike, hypnotic atmosphere that blurs the line between passion and destruction.

The narrative arc follows the singer’s encounter with this enigmatic figure who seduces her not through words, but through silent intensity and magnetic presence. The imagery is rich with sensual textures—black velvet, silk, candlelight, perfume in the rain—enhancing the mystical and almost spell-like nature of their connection.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship is emotionally consuming and possibly toxic. The singer willingly descends into this emotional underworld, mesmerized by a love that feels divine but is ultimately laced with danger. There is a recurring motif of being “undone,” “haunted,” and “burned,” all suggesting a passionate surrender that leaves a permanent mark on her identity.

The chorus anchors the theme: the "black velvet spell" is a symbol of seductive darkness, a love that feels both luxurious and suffocating. It's a bond that continues to haunt her even after the lover is gone—more than a memory, it’s a spell that reshapes her inner world.

The bridge intensifies the emotional depth, revealing the lover as both savior and destroyer, and the relationship as a beautifully wrapped form of emotional possession. The lyrics in this section are whispered, adding intimacy and a sense of confession, while reinforcing the duality of beauty and pain.

Musically, the song is supported by ethereal synths, ambient guitars with reverb, and slow-building textures that simulate emotional waves—rising and falling with the storyline. Instrumental interludes offer breathing space while deepening the mood, and the outro leaves the listener in a soft, ghostly afterglow.

Autumn

The first song from Book on Tape Worm's new EP "Songbirds of North America"


Even the brightest stars in the sky burn out sometimes
but the light they leave behind still reaches our eyes
quietly guiding us home

No matter how dark the night gets, I will try to be the brightest for you.

If your constellation starts to come apart
and you find yourself among the falling stars
I will catch you in my spiral arms

If the light-years give way to heavy ones
and the weight of all the world obscures your son/sun
I won't dim or make you wonder what I am

No matter how dark the night gets, I will try to be the brightest for you.

The First Snow in Years

Hollow Home Rd

Making do, 
It was only ever you. 
Thought this through, 
There was only ever you. 

Casting your redundant dreams aside, 
Wings have been clipped, 
Skin is raw, 
From all the ties. 

Making do, 
It was only ever you. 
Thought this through, 
There was only ever you. 

Distanced by wishes, 
That can never come to true. 
If anyone could change this, 
It would be… 

Losing touch, 
Resigned to love, 
To lead a life, 
Or to be led. 
Enough because it has to be, 
A string of tuneless melodies, 
Set to play, 
Play on out the minutes, 
Of each day.

Distanced by wishes, 
That can never come to true. 
If anyone could change this, 
It would be you. 

Making do, 
It was only ever you. 
Thought this through, 
There was only ever you.

The First Snow in Years
