‘Love's Not Enough’ gets straight to the point, as a rapid trance of recurrent electric guitar riffs and an addictively relentless beat dominates the senses. Davis’ vocals emerge from a time decades past, resonating with an echoing intensity that peaks in the chorus alongside synthesised specks of nostalgic indie-pop in the form of flying synths and running percussion.

A new inquisitive guitar layer joins the mix, moving towards a grungy bridge featuring head moving beats and metallic riffs, before gravelly desperation sneaks into Davis’ voice, a final glance in the rearview mirror before leaving the past behind.

Reflecting on an ended relationship, Davis brings his distinctive lyrical maturity to ‘Love's Not Enough', reaching insightful conclusions that can hopefully provide some closure, as he states:

"As the title suggests, the song is about the fact that sometimes even the forces of love aren’t strong enough to hold two together."

Unsurprisingly, the band’s previous releases have seen support from US College Radio, National broadcaster IndieXL (Netherlands), Triple J, Double J, Triple J Unearthed, Scenestr, LA On Lock, Backseat Mafia, theMusic, Pilerats, XPress Magazine, Junction Records, RTRFM, FBi Radio, 4ZZZ, 3RRR and more, as well as being nominated for the WAM Rock Song of the Year in 2020. The group have also played coveted support and festival slots including RTRFM flagship event In The Pines, WAMFest and the inaugural WAY WAY WEST Festival.

Lyrics:

If you think you know yourself
Well you don’t
You don’t
 
You’re too afraid to lose control
To let go
And just float
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me
 
If you try to find yourself
On your own
Well you won’t
 
But if you learn to love yourself
When you’re low
Well maybe there’s hope  
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me
 
Deep underwater
Your emotions
Call to you
“Go where the wind blows
All of this time spent hesitating”
 
Down by the water
Cross the ocean
I should go
Go where the tides pull
All of our lives to rearrange them
 
With you I feel I find myself
I let go
And we float
 
All of these dreams
Within you
Within me
Somehow
I feel
Part of you
Is part of me

Within You, Within Me

This is a dreamy and surfy song about feeling uncertain of the future but having to keep moving forward.  I tried to combine dream pop and surf rock in this song and created this! Hope you enjoy.
