Mess of Things

"DANG" by Leggy
Released by MANIC STATIC January 8 2016
Recorded and produced by Sam Cowan

I thought you said it was okay to kiss? 
I never tried to treat you badly :( 
I know I did it fervently and maddeningly 
but please don’t say you wish you never met me 
I thought you said it was okay I came and left. 
I never tried to treat ya badly 
I know I did it fervently and maddeningly 
but please don’t say you wish you never met me. 

‘Cause I’m done kissing boys who can’t even hold my attention 
and I’m done thinking things perpetually making me sadder 
like the concept of a Dear John letter 
or a heart as tried & true as leather 
& Even Lana found a man who fit her better than her favorite sweater. 

I know I said that I was fine with this 
and so I don’t know why I’m so unhappy 
I know I left you fervently and maddeningly 
but please don’t say you wish you could forget me 
I thought you said it was okay I came and left 
I never tried to treat you badly 
I know I did it fervently and maddeningly 
but please don’t say ya guess you never had me 
‘cause you had me you had me 

And I’m done kissing boys who can’t even hold my attention 
and I’m done thinking things perpetually making me sadder 
like the concept of a Dear John letter 
or a heart as tried & true as leather 
& Even Lana found a man who fit her better than her favorite sweater.

Changing Days - Lyrics

There's no knowing how much the old things fade

Stop where you are don't get any closer
I can see you fine from here
I used to be the one who knew you the most
I used to wipe away your tears

But these days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

And here's how it went on the night that you called
After everything went down
I felt something break in the space of a breath
Like a dead bird hits the ground

But these days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

But I don't think the sky's ever looked so pure
I know something's died but I'm not so sure
If it's dark or it's light through the open door
These days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

Watch where you step in the dead of the night
When you think you're on your own
The echo you heard like the cry of a bird
Is the half you won't take home

But these days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

But I don't think the sky's ever looked so pure
I know something's died but I'm not so sure
If it's dark or it's light through the open door
These days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

So don't go pushing all you have away
No one's going, but don't leave it to late
Cause there's no knowing how much the old things fade
So I'm just saying these days are changing days

And I don't think the sky's ever looked so pure
I know something's died but I'm not so sure
If it's dark or it's light through the open door
These days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

And I don't think the sky's ever looked so pure
I know something's died but I'm not so sure
If it's dark or it's light through the open door
These days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

Stop where you are don't get any closer
I can see you fine from here
I used to be the one who knew you the most
I used to wipe away your tears

But these days they are changing days, changing days
These days they are changing it all

Orange Trees

This Not That, Or That

A story of love, lost love, addiction and confusion straight out of the Prohibition... Probably our favorite song to play live, as being a basically alt-country band, we don't often get the opportunity to scream!

Runaway

Oh My

“I want to go anywhere and dream away” singer Karolien Van Ransbeeck whispers in ‘Summer Sun’, Few Bits’ luscious new single, taken from their sophomore album ‘Big Sparks’.  A pitch-perfect mix of  shimmering guitars, hazy vocals and loose but galloping grooves. Imagine Real Estate tackling Mazzy Star’s ‘Fade Into You’ at 45rpm instead of 33 1/3rpm and you get the picture. But there’s a lot more to this Antwerp based band. 

Debuting in 2013 with a self-titled debut album ‘Few Bits’ they immediately stole hearts of music lovers in Belgium and beyond. The band got invited to support the likes of Vampire Weekend and The War On Drugs and went on a UK tour with The Lemonheads. Gaining confidence on stage night after night is clearly reflected in the dynamic and full dreampop sound of ‘Summer Sun’ and the themes explored on the new album. 

Karolien’s songs about the shadow side of love, about longing for something that ultimately always remains just out of reach, and about finally having the courage to relinquish control come from a deeply personal place. “I always write autobiographically", she explains, "I'm not really interested in writing from someone else's perspective. A song doesn't just have to sound good, it also has to express exactly what I feel. Otherwise I'd rather throw it away. I don't come up with fiction. Every word, every comma, has to fit my head and my heart." 
Fresh from making their US debut at this year’s SXSW Festival, and just in time for the Canadian Music Week and The Great Escape, Few Bits is ready to win over hearts and ears all over the world with their new single ‘Summer Sun’

Join us on their trip and dream away.

My Take on the the Kanye song "Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1"

Rose Betts is a Singer/Songwriter based London, England. She has played in many prestigious venues around London. Rose's piano playing talent is matched only by her ability to write truly beautiful and touching lyrics. Watch this space!

"Rose Betts is a London songstress boasting a voice as delicate and ethereal as it is strong, demonstrating an angelic, pitch perfect range on this track [Dreamland]. The voice takes centre stage here, and rightly so, whilst the simple backing keyboards, reminiscent of early Keane, complement her voice perfectly. It’s just the right combination as it would have been a major mistake to drown out the best instrument at play here. This is a great pick-me-up track for these icy cold winter mornings we’re having and I’m sure Rose’s haunting vocal will be haunting you for some time to come, in the best sense of the word of course" - Howard Gorman, Fresh On The Net
