Lyrics: 
maybe life’s a joke
i feel like my soul is stuck
maybe u should float
cuz i been on the road enough
i been feeling low
like i’m barely holding up
x2 

i talk in ways u like
i walk in the way u like
lost sight of my own life
life
life

too cool for wintertime
my friends don’t go outside
only when it feels right 

lost in the clouds
i’m lost in the clouds 
i’m not coming down
i’m on my way up
cumulonimbus it got me stuck 
in a few weeks i’ll be 21
2020 my vision til 20 sumn
i been working like i’m scared of growing up

i’m scared of growing up, 
if u like me don’t tell me cuz ima run wit it
life is a game i’m just having fun wit it
shootin my shot i’m just like a gun wit it
(i’m just like a gun)
if i don’t pick up just know the blunt did it
following trends i ain’t having none of it
(i ain’t having none of it)

maybe life’s a joke
i feel like my soul is stuck
maybe u should float
cuz i been on the road enough
i been feeling low
like i’m barely holding up

Maybe

BBC Introducing East Midlands Track of the Week - 25/05/20

Michael wrote Dead and Buried after being laid off work on a Friday morning. Half-remembered drunken mishaps filtering through a hazy hangover, he lay on his bed with his unplugged Stratocaster. Enthusiasm was low. But sometimes, you've just got to write. Cracks were beginning to form in a long-term relationship, fuelling the lyrics and pumping the track full of rage. Dead and Buried is about self-destruction. The term is used to describe the need to move on from all of the nonsense that was causing such frustration. An hour and a half later, the song was finished.

This Is What You Did

From Corey Flood's debut album Hanging Garden out September 4th on Fire Talk.

Pre Order: https://ffm.to/coreyfloodphl 

There’s a vague sense of unease that permeates Corey Flood’s debut full-length, Hanging Garden, out September 5th via Fire Talk. From the surface, the record appears to break through the dark fog of the band’s 2018 EP, Wish You Hadn’t, but just below lay themes of ambivalence, uncertainty, and anxiety, layered elegantly in fuzz. Recorded in Philadelphia by Jackie Milestone, mixed by Natasha Jacobs, and mastered by Sarah Register, Hanging Garden  pushes through feelings of discomfort and repressed emotions to discover what truly lies beneath. 

Born in Philly circa 2017, Corey Flood began as the post-grad bedroom project of bassist Ivy Gray-Klein (formerly of Littler) and drummer Juliette Rando. A month after their first show with guitarist Em Boltz, the band signed with New York’s Fire Talk Records and turned four planned demos into a full-fledged, delightfully menacing debut EP. Now, after two years of intense growth and collaboration, the trio continues their “whirlwind trajectory” with the long-awaited, nine-track LP, Hanging Garden. 

Inspired by Throwing Muses, Helium, Pale Saints, and Brix Smith-Start’s work with the Fall, Gray-Klein calls Hanging Garden  “a reckoning with internal discord.” Through soft melodies, lush guitars and churning rhythms, the dual vocals of Gray-Klein and Boltz recall relatable experiences with gaslighting, imposter syndrome, and repetitive thoughts. Hanging Garden  feels intimate and familiar but is strewn with playful surprises, like 70s krautrock guitar work and samba-influenced drum parts. Hanging Garden is a mature stride forward, and a bewitching amble towards the unknown.
