Stream 'Belladonna' : https://echoframe.fanlink.to/belladonna

 The Vancouver-based musician Echo Frame takes inspiration from all corners of the music world and swirls them into a bottomless pot of indie, soul, surf-rock, disco and more. With “Belladonna”, the songwriter invokes a blissful, genreless euphoria as he unlaces his narrative of romantic infatuation. The way Echo Frame partners funky guitar lines with dreamy vocals and a strolling rhythm section makes us particularly impatient for the release of his upcoming EP...

Echo Frame - Belladonna

Imaginary People

Swirl

This track is about the "..." when someone was going to send a message, but didn't, leaving a lot unsaid.

It's about distance, time, and about the failure to connect, even despite the best of intentions.

Lyrics:
Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Is it just because I say i want it all
Is it just me 'cause, no that's not me at all
I know I say stuff that I don't mean at all
I've been thinking 'bout it and it just don't make no sense at all

Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Girl you're feeling lonely
Don't you know that that's how I've been feeling mostly?
Yeah I'm lost but you can show me now

It's not just because, it's not how I wanted
And nothing can change that now

Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
Why your mom want me to turn it down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Produced by Steven Ansell
Mastered by Robin Schmidt


Lyrics:

Tell me that I will
Never be alone again
Promise me that I will
Never feel so sad again

Baby I know it’s beyond you
These things come and go with time
There may be a darkness growing in me
When sunlight’s running out of time

I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, hard to be
I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, here

I hope that someday I will
Find stillness within these times
That somehow I could shine a light
When it’s moonless in the dead of night

I’m so crippled by memories
Often stuck in this tendency
trying not to feel much anymore

I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, hard to be
I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, here

Never Alone Again

In between, reaching for something sound
Wanting more before a sign is found 
Thoughts in circles, sewed in
The feedback wearing it thin
Am I someplace I’d rather be
Off in times different than these?

I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth 
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth
Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew it

Burn all ties
Foundation lines
For another time
Or a lonely lie
Costing, sinking, all in
Best to flip or to spin
If something real
Isn’t real?

Can’t get out of this myself

Can’t get out of this myself
I wish I knew what it’s worth

Folding at the top of your life
Weekends she never your type
How you gonna stop yourself?
Folding at the top of your life
Weak kids were never so kind
Strong ones shut their mouths
And weaken beneath the quiet

Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for

I don’t care if this is what you’re in it for
I don’t care
I sit around (I don’t care) 
I sit around (If this is what you’re in it for)
I sit around (I don’t care) 
Asking what you’re in it for

Folding at the top of your life
Fall back you’re one of a kind
But trip to catch twenty-two
Everyone’s talking about something 
(Something)
I don’t think I fully can understand 
(Understand)
Or I don’t have the patience to indulge it
Shaking all the upper hands

Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for us
Don’t need much for

I sit around (I don’t care) 
I sit around (If this is what you’re in it for)
I sit around (I don’t care)
Asking what you’re in it for
I sit around
I sit around

I sit around

This time seems
There's no getting out 
Of the headspace that 
You made yourself

You don't have it bad, 
But you're mad, and 
You mean to feel significant

Staring down the harm, 
You take it to the sun
To preach at all the pawns;
You don't fool me

Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was 
To be a part
To be someone

The kid guards its toy
Like the thing is the last remaining
Sign of home

The freedom to say 
What you want like you can 
When you're among your own

It must be tiresome
To play a victim,
It must feel so absurd;
You don't fool me 
   
Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was 
To be a part
To be someone

Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was 
To be a part
To be someone
