LYRICS:

I feel you breathing my air
Is this as close as we’ll ever be

Ahh
I’d wait some time
Wait some time
Ahh 
I’d wait some time
I'd wait some time

Told about you to my dreams 
Threads rippling at the seams

Coming closer than we think
Pulling you closer
Low tide it seems

Ahh 
I’d wait some time 
Wait some time
Ahh 
I’d wait some time 
Wait some time
Ahh 

So short lived 
Time we spent
Swimming oceans to repent

Tidal movement 
Sentiment
How they go
The moments

Coming closer than we think
Pulling you closer
Low tide it seems

Ahh 
I’d wait some time 
I'd wait some time
Ahh 
I’d wait some time 
I'd wait some time
Ahh

Someone So Dear

"I don't like me"
These first four words capture the essence of our song, "I Wish (To No)". The theme for that week's song was an enemy. Sarah and I could only think of one enemy in our lives - ourselves. Recorded over Zoom and mixed a few days after, we knew this song would be something. Here is our song, "I Wish (To No)".

You Only Live Once (cover)

Opening with two panned acoustic guitars, this track takes you back to the 1950s and 1960s with the simplicity and rock of four chords. Sebastian wrote this song while abroad in Colombia in the summer of 2019. Fans frequently cite it as their favorite song of his and they never fail to sing along. In the studio, Sebastian was able to expand upon his singular acoustic guitar by adding Beatle-like harmonies, jangly sleigh-bells, and five time overdubbed claps in his bedroom. 

Sebastian hopes that the happy, upbeat nature of this song will bring a smile to all that hear it and to take them back to a remembrance of happy days passed.
