Indie/Rock/Alt Compilation - May 2021 (alexrainbirdMusic)

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: https://ditto.fm/thousand-stars

‘Thousand Stars' is the first collaborative single from the two Swedish indie artists Francis Moon and The Hollow Men. The labelmates and friends had long wanted to join forces together on a song, and a lack of creativity from both during the pandemic led to the duo experimenting with ideas over video calls. This motivated both artists to find joy in creating again and the result is a fresh, upbeat, melancholic tune that emphasizes the strongest sides of their individual sounds.

"The song has really pushed us both as artists, to improve creatively as songwriters and to dare to try new things such as structure, instruments, and other small details. It is easy to create the same thing repeatedly, but that is not really pushing yourself as a songwriter” Francis says. 

It is a song that takes you back to a time before the pandemic; where the spring season was a time full of light and hope… but most of all, it speaks to a desire to have certainty in a time of doubt. ‘Thousand Stars’ is the perfect soundtrack to a spring like no other.

Pull It From My Teeth

I’m drifting away
And my mind is in a daze
Oh my dreams are all awake
I feel fine again
And I’m fallin’ alone
Where my heart’s my only home
Oh I’ll drift out on my own
I’m alright again

I wish you only told me once
Kid you gotta hide your teeth
You gotta hold your tongue 
You gotta wait for the mornin’ sun
And think on the younger days
I know you only held my hand
‘Til I was three
And when I turned 18 you cut my leash
Told me I’d be fine when I get older

I’m drifting away
And my mind is in a daze
Oh my dreams are all awake
I feel fine again
And I’m fallin’ alone
Where my heart’s my only home
Oh I’ll drift out on my own
I’m alright again

Oh I gotta hold my post
Before I slip into the violent road 
And throws me in
To the wild I hope 
I find the light again
Now you gotta let me off
You know you let the meter run
Oh stop and let me crawl
Before you pick me up
I’m learnin’ the right-away 

I’m drifting away
And my mind is in a daze
Oh my dreams are all awake
I feel fine again
And I’m fallin’ alone
Where my heart’s my only home
Oh I’ll drift out on my own
I’m alright again

I’m drifting away
Oh my life is in a haze
But my dreams are now awake
I feel fine again
And I’m fallin’ alone
Where my heart’s my only home
Oh I’ll drift out on my own
I’m alright again
I’m alright again
I’m alright again
I’m alright again
