this is a vibe for when youre just ready to let life happen

fantastic- great job on this one Rollo!! :D

This reminds me of an 80's ballad! Yes, I love this song. The vibe is so smooth but the words are powerful too. You're very talented sir. :)

This is so effing good + it just started!

真夏の夜空を見上げたら
心が吸い込まれていくようで
赤く輝くさそり座が
今年も変わらず私を見てる

惨めに生きていたくはない
たぶん死にたいわけじゃない
ちゃんといい子にしてるから
明日も愛してくれますか

いつも心は不安ばかりで
恥ずかしい事ばかり思い出されて
なぜか今だけはそうでもなくて
心が夜空に吸い込まれてく

おうちに帰ればいつもの通り
お風呂とご飯との支度をしなきゃ
家事も仕事もこなすから
明日も生きてていいですか

何十億光年の星の光が
心と身体を貫いて
宇宙の広さが途方もなくて
ちっぽけな私は気が遠くなる

いつもと変わらぬ帰り道
私はふたたび歩き出す
赤く輝くさそり座と
目配せ交わして歩き出す

真夏の夜空を見上げてる

真夏の夜空を見上げたら

Try to breath

lyrics:
i think that you could be the type to cut me down to size
but i'm aware you've probably heard it before
and i don't remember if i ever saw you close your eyes
it's a quarter to three, but you don't sleep anymore

so tell me why it's gotta be this way
cuz i don't wanna drive your heart away
do you think that i can't tell you been crying?
but you're too good to come back over today

don't take your time
make me believe i can count on you
to be there whenever i'm low
show me a sign
that things will be different this time
before you let go

all that you say is inconsistent with the things i see
can't you decide if you don't want me to stay
and i don't know what i'd even ask if you would let me speak
so i step to the side and just stay out of your way

tell me if you want somebody new
cuz no one can make me feel the way you do
do you think that i can't tell when you're lying
you know that you can't keep running away

Peplo is a Glasgow based four-piece that cuts classic pop songcraft with an alternative edge; the band begin '22 with the release of their new single 'Goodnight Maria' on January 28th, and will be performing on the UK's summer festival circuit – with a slot at ButeFest already confirmed.

'Goodnight Maria' is the band’s fourth single. The eponymous Maria is a typical millennial heroine – a displaced and exploited twentysomething, who relies on pretension and pride to remain wilfully oblivious to being the poster girl for a lost generation. The song takes this to be both endearing and pitiable, lending 'Goodnight Maria' an acerbic tone that’s new to Peplo’s palate (this more rock-adjacent track comes hot on the heels of dream-pop jangler, ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’, as well as the balladesque ‘Tall’ and ‘Just to Get to You’).

"...a big pop tune with loads of ambition, cloaked in a shy and soft overcoat" - SNACK Magazine

"Vocalist Cit Lennox can hit sky-high notes with ease" - Shereen Cutkelvin, BBC Radio Scotland

"...charming, classic jangle pop" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music (of previous single 'Katarina's Got My Tongue')

Highlights from Peplo’s career to date include performing at Last Night From Glasgow’s label showcase at Celtic Connections; being shortlisted for Fresh On The Net’s Listening Post (where the band’s second single, ‘Katarina’s Got My Tongue’, was championed by Tom Robinson - who subsequently played the track on his BBC Radio 6 Music show, ‘BBC Introducing Mixtape’); and playing the forthcoming ButeFest - sharing a bill with Scouting for Girls and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Shadow

Run over fruit

Overtime at the dog track
Chasing hares for fun
Stadium lights are dimming now
Failing, one by one

He started out a fireman
In his younger days
His mind wandered from the job
It really was a blaze

He filled in holes for half the year
It surely paid the bills
But nothing he liked more, than the end of the road 
And taking to the hills

Oh the odds are long on the trap I'm in
I wouldn't bet my life on an easy win

He drove a truck, thick with dirt
He hauled from town to tip
With every run, the grime was steadily
Weakening his grip

Nights, he worked a car park job
Among concrete and grey steel
The echoes in the early hours
Made his own voice sound surreal

Oh the odds are long on the trap I'm in
I wouldn't bet my life on an easy win

Overtime at the dog track
Chasing hares for fun
Whistle up a chorus, girl
And to the hills we'll run

Oh the odds are long on the trap I'm in
I wouldn't bet my life on an easy win

Oh...the trap I'm in

Chasing Hares

I could work on my vocals ... pitchy oops. This song is about how I thought (for whatever reason) that someone I wanted to reach out to me would reach out to me on my birthday, but didn't, and how I saw a band we both really enjoyed alone at a festival at midnight and it hurt but I still had fun. 

Lyrics: 
Trying to make myself hate you
but still can't find a reason why
and you're still the first thought on my mind at sunrise

i don't know why I got so upset
when you didn't reach out to me 
on my birthday
on my birthday 

Paul turned 80 on the same day
remember how we used to talk about that
I saw our favorite band all alone
at a festival full of people who weren't you

and I don't know why I got so upset 
when you didn't reach out to me 
on my birthday
on my birthday

on my birthday (repeated)

and I don't know why I got so upset 
on my birthday
