Come For Me

Hey, I don’t wanna be somebody else’s
I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours
Wait, did I come off different than I meant
I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours
Oh

Why wait
I’m tethered why would I go back to
Those days but I’m worried
I might repeat the same
I might repeat the same, same, same

Babe, did you mean it all at all
Are you losing patience, I wanna be yours
Wait didn’t mean to argue with you again
I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours
Oh

Why wait
I’m tethered why would I go back to
Those days but I’m worried
I might repeat the same
Same, same
The same, same, same mistakes

Should we try to make it up
I don’t wanna listen
Yeah we did the same thing once
Is it any different

Should we make up
I’m just in love
It all hurts too much
I’m just in love

Yours

Grazer - These Days (Pass Me By)

STILL IN LOVE

Dilettante

Monster

The song “Beverly Hills” both embraces the opulence of the Rodeo Drive lifestyle while simultaneously pointing out the ultimate absurdity of it all. Growing up in Altadena, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, I always loved hearing stories of the lavish lifestyle occurring just over the hill. These stories were always embellished, which, on top of the extravagance of reality, made them almost absurd.

Diamond studded supermodels ordering champagne service to the pool, oiled up to their ears in search of that nonexistent tan line. Spoiled tweens buying thousand-dollar cupcakes on limitless credit cards. Newborn babies wearing 24K gold Rolexes, riding around in limited edition Louis Vuitton strollers. All of it seemingly impossible, yet a quick internet search would reveal every story completely plausible.

It’s a life of augmented reality in the truest sense of the word, where airbrushed and photoshopped images have leapt from the page and onto the faces and bodies of otherwise natural beauties. Beauties who have been sucked into the allure of envy: glitter, glam, altered faces, frames, and bank accounts, many immersed in a lifestyle beyond their means, hoping to one day rub shoulders with the right person and hit the lottery of high society.

In the end it’s hard to fault anyone. We’re in a time where success means pleasing a cold, unfeeling algorithm that rewards likes and comments over genuine artistry. Where posting a photo drinking cold brew in negligee would outperform the cure for cancer. And like an Olympics of steroid-crazed athletes, it’s difficult to compete without cheating.

In the song, I indulge in the Wonka-esque pageantry and it is me waltzing the sunny streets with my iced wrist and honey bronze tan. I am the supermodel, the spoiled tween, the newborn baby. And it ends with my orchestral dream escape from suburban normality, as I dance the night away with Bill Murray, drunk on careless irresponsibility, lost in the slow motion of future reminiscence.

Lyrics:

When my heart hurts
My mind hurts
But when my lips move
Nobody cares
In my alcoholic dreams it makes
So much more sense

And my pain feeds
My neuroses
When my pen writes
My heart burns
When I read your words
My mouth stretches unusually
But I can’t feel hope
More than my insecurities

I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
I just want you to be like any other girl
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
But I know that I ‘ll kiss you by the cinema

I don’t want to impress you, I can’t
I just want to undress you with my hands
And make you not care about anything
So that I don’t care about anything

I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
I just want you to be like any other girl
I don’t want to go out with you Veronica
But I know that I ‘ll kiss you by the cinema

Is it enough?
Is it too much?
Is it enough?
This modern love and such

I Don't Want To Go Out With You, Veronica

Sound of You

London-based band, Idle Youth release their next single Disconnect, an energetic yet chilled synth pop song that spans new wave, post punk and all things 80’s, whilst remaining present day. Mastered By legendary engineer Noel Summerville, Disconnect lyrically discusses our over-reliance on technology and it’s inevitable knock on effects to our relationships with the world. 

Inspired by Fyodor Dostoyevski’s ‘The Brothers Karamazov’, questions of reality and free will are questioned. A dream pop feel runs ever present through the song, musically and lyrically.
