The Old Style Raiders

“Honeymoon” is the first single to be released off of their upcoming EP, which narrates a journey of womanhood. The story starts with “Honeymoon”, taking a fond look back on the sweetness of childhood rebellion and the sense of freedom and indestructibility you feel as a teen. Withers lyrically recounts stories from her formative years as her now adult self, sharing “It’s nice to have an uplifting sense of appreciation for my own personal experiences which have moulded me even if they didn't seem so poignant or great at the time, how we know not what we have until it’s gone. With that being said there is nothing melancholy about this narrative, I have such a tenderness and affection for my teen self, an enjoyment to revisit her and a continuation of personal growth and one day looking back at myself now with a similar fondness.” Singing, “It was a honeymoon, a cocoon, feeling like someone new”, the music is driving yet ethereal with pop elements that will have you singing the hook all day long.

Lester -

I only worry that I’m crazy
Cause if it’s at all true
Then it’s all true
You know i hate lying
Cause I hate wasting time
You said soon we’ll be leaving this place
And the life it defined
And you were lookin hella phased
I was still making up my mind
I put them words in the open and they oxidized

Falling, golden and heavy, in the middle of the room
You were pouring over them, I was pouring over you
Snagged by the glinting of your open, glossy eyes
Tryna decide if it’s clarity, or a reflection
Is it careful tension, or an embarrassing infection?

We can’t get any closer without touching, I said
And I can’t put my hand there
Without going through it
Without us both going through it
And they say the day you die is when you meet your match
So you’re probably hoping that I cut you some slack

And that wouldn’t be so bad
If I didn’t have to eat
But if I catch sleep in the shower
I can maybe get an hour

Cause now I know the difference
Now I know the difference
Between a prayer and a preference
Between desire and a deference

Cause I always leave with love
A new pouch in my pocket
It’s a sweet, slow drip, but in my vice grip
It’s all gone by the morning
Ya know ya man always want more in the morning

You’re the heroine
Good god yeah you feel so smooth
When you come through, I see you 
On the next page in the wreckage of the towers in flames
Handing out blankets to the families praying
Baby I’m a young lover down on my luck
Undercover as a stick in the mud
Yeah I’m a fixer-upper
And if you’re a nip-tucker
Then I can be your partner man
I can be your partner like Chan and Chris Tucker

Without touching, though, no I can’t do without touching
If that’s asking too much we can just close the book
But don’t ya wanna know if you’re supposed to look
I wanna know if ya know my name
Should a ghost, should a ghost say hey?
Should a ghost say hey?

"Smart, personal, and true, “R.O.B.Y.N” feels like the sort of old fashioned songwriting that you’d stumble across during the folk scene at Greenwich Village, the product of what feels like a bygone era." - We All Want Someone To Shout For bit.ly/WAWSTSF
