Heart to Heart - Mac DeMarco (Slowed + Reverb)

Djo - End Of Beginning (ayokay Remix)

I saw it clear as I'd hoped
After all these years
You'd say photographs
Leave nothing to talk about
Why stay holding on
If it's all been kept?

Oh, I remember it
So much better now
That I've got nothing to prove
I was there
I was there

You always could
Pull faces right out of the rocks
You'd fill up your phone
With ordinary empty coast
Never needed to show
That you were there

How you'd erase yourself
And I remember it better now
'Cause we had nothing to prove
We were there

I Was There

Trapped in a way
Perusing it all
I could just scroll
Around the universe alone
It's not like I care
'Til sometimes I do
Notice the leak that's
Slowly filling up the room

Day's last breath is spent
Drenched in your silence

The sun is angled low
Animates the shore
Shadows running out to sea
Into the swell

Took a trip
Deep in the week
Had to get out
Because the walls began to peel
The ginkgo and oak
Showered the street
The mid-morning ghost
You know that I can sometimes be

And I don't mind
Water burns our eyes
Throws us from all sides
A chance to surface right

As sun is angled low
Animates the shore
Shadows running out to sea
Into the swell
All your breath is spent
Falling through the sand
Drenched in the silence

Drenched In Silence

In a thousand years
You wonder how it'd be
To walk the ancient yards
Of all the places left
Abandoned or eclipsed
Would you notice still
The ones we'd once called home?
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how

This heart aches on and on for you
Forever, all the days we'd lose
Wishing that something
Beautiful would stay
Better keep moving on and on
And on and on and on and on
Better keep moving

You start turning back
Wondering how it's fared
Your love, all overgrown
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how
The garden's spilled over
I want to show you how
This heart aches on and on
This heart aches on and on

Lyrics

And you run away, with your hands in the air and another mark of hate on your face 
Today
You’ve been throwing your darts 
But someone always gets in the way
The times are changing for your own sake 
There’s only so much pride you can fake 
Then you play “dumb” and wonder what the law has to say 

Cause nobody told him 
If it’s alright, if it’s ok 
And everyone showed him that it’s his right 
Don’t get in the way 

And you run away, with your gun in your hand and another DDC to your name  
Again 
You were doomed from the start 
Now someones tryna put you away 
Suppose you better find who to blame
Another broken heart on the way 
And you play dumb today 
Why’d you have to be so rough 
And why’d you have to be so tough 
And you play dumb and wonder what the law has to say 

And all you want to be is someone that can speak with their arms 
It’s never gonna be enough
It’s never gonna be enough 

And all you wanna hear is everyone to say you were right 
Why’d you have to be so rough
Why’d you have to be so tough

Cause nobody told him 
If it’s alright, if it’s ok 
And everyone showed him 
That it’s his right
Don’t get in the way 

Cause nobody told him 
If it’s alright, if it’s ok 
And everyone showed him 
That it’s his right
Don’t get in the way 

Take you away 
Take you away 
Take you away 
Take you away

All At Once

PRESS RELEASE
++++++++++++

‘Dreams About’ is the third single from London / Leeds based Cloud Studies, and the first release with new member Kirstin Isolde Lavender on vocals.

For Fans of: Dummy, Deerhunter, Alvvays, Beachwood Sparks, The Cure, Pulp, shoegaze and dreampop.

With an instrumental introduction lasting over a minute, Cloud Studies are not a band to be rushed, nor are they willing to pander to streaming algorithms on their latest single ‘Dreams About.’ 

Although until now the band have described themselves as ‘gothgaze’, this new track leans towards the brightest, breeziest end of the genre. ‘Dreams About’ is Cloud Studies at their most uplifting; shimmering guitars with melodic arpeggios that throw-back to classic periods of indiepop, layers of lush reverb and bright harmonies, propelled by an insistent driving beat.

The band’s darker aspects are found in Adam Cresswell’s lyrics.  ‘Dreams About’ is a song about escaping the drudgery and loneliness of the daily grind by dreaming of unrequited lovers, while dropping prescription drugs to numb the pain.

Cloud Studies formed in 2024, as a means for Adam Cresswell and Martin J Langthorne to explore the sonic possibilities offered by the large arsenal of effects pedals that they had acquired.  Their debut ‘Ghosts’ was released to acclaim for Halloween 2024. It immediately won the band devoted fans and received rave reviews. ‘Ghosts’ also resonated on social media, not least on TikTok and Instagram where it quickly hit a million views on release. Their follow-up single ‘Cloud Cartography’ won them new fans, with a Spotlight feature from leading industry service The Unsigned Guide who described the track as a “deliciously dark shoegaze affair”. 


Cloud Studies are: Adam Cresswell, Vocals, Bass; Martin J Langthorne, Guitars; Kirstin Isolde Lavender, Vocals; Adrian Taylor, Guitars.

Recorded at Old Chapel (Leeds), Nan’s House Studio (Liverpool), Bellasonic Sounds (London). Drums by Nat Guest. Written and produced by Adam Cresswell. Mastered by Toby Campen Mastering. Design by Martin J Langthorne
