Stuff I found at work

Written by Danae and Phil Danyew

Closer than a secret 
Freer than the ocean 
I love the way 
I love the way
You hold me
Softer than a morning dove 
Tighter than a leather glove
I love the way 
I love the way 
You hold me

And, I never knew about love
I never knew till I found you 

I’ve got nothing
Got nothing left to prove
Couldn’t walk away if I wanted to 
Got something 
Got something left to say 
My fire for you won’t fade away 
Got nothing left to prove 
Got something when baby I’m with you
 
Racing through the stop signs 
Counting dotted white lines
I love the way 
I love the way 
We break all the rules 

And, I never felt lighting 
In my veins till I felt you

Written by Danae and Sarin Kuruvilla

Feet on the edge / Take a deep breath / Set for a free fall
The time is now / Take a first step / Off of the back wall
Running like a blind man to a lover’s call 
Come on let me see face fear head on 
Finally know / What it feels like / Starting to take off

You got / You got / A new direction
You got / You got / A new direction
Flying through space / Past stars and moons
Looking for place to bust through
You got / You got / Got new direction

Heads in the clouds / Take a good look / Don’t even try to run 
Soak up the heights / Open your eyes / Don’t miss the gold dawn 
Come on set your bright star on the skyline 
Open up your heart wider than wide
Finally know / What it feels like / Starting to take off

Hear your forever / Calling you closer

"Direction" was produced and mixed by Sarin in Nashville, TN.

I’m done living my life 
Just to get out 
Alive
Oh Oh
Yellow flickering light 
Got it in my 
Sights
Oh Oh 

PRECHOUS
Doesn’t really what it costs us  
Gonna carry this shovel till the sun comes up 
I’m gonna break up the dust and the earth   

CHORUS 
Cause there’s 
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt  
Dig a little deeper
Gold in the dirt 

VERSE  
Black, blue, blood runs though 
Every inch is 
Proof 
Oh Oh 
Shine, shine, deep the mind
Leave the past 
Behind 
Oh Oh

PRECHOUS 2 
Doesn’t really what the ending is 
I got one shot, I’m gonna take it 
I’m gonne shake up the dust and the earth

BRIDGE 
Doesn’t really what it costs us  
Gonna carry this shovel till the sun comes up  
Doesn’t really what the ending is 
I got one shot, I’m gonna take it  
I’m gonna break up the dust and the earth
I’m gonne shake up the dust and the earth


Gold in the Dirt

Written by DANAE and Phil Danyew  

One day in the wilderness I woke up  
Surrounded and covered by 
Buckets of new blooms of mended love 
Sweeter than honey  
Dance in technicolor 
Shot from Your projector  
Spin my whole world around 

I fly so high that I can see Your eyes   
I’m lost in love, never says good bye  
Closer than skin to each other  
Love couldn't get any deeper  
I feel Your heart beat now  
That we’re actualized  

Running in a forest that's evergreen 
Rivers are laughin 
Hoping for the moment we cut the seams    
And my blind heart snaps open  
And we dance in technicolor 
Shot from Your projector  
Spin my whole world around  

Dance in technicolor 
Shot from Your projector  
Spin Your whole world around  

Actualized

It seems as if in your early twenties, you go through various phases of comparing your life and goals to those of your peers, trying to find some kind of balance between what you're supposed to be doing while figuring out what you actually want to do. Overridden by this very-human and age appropriate anxiety in the constantly chaotic atmosphere which New York seems to provide, RÉN escaped to Santa Cruz, CA for a little R&R. While there, she drove past a sign at a bakery that said "Relax, you've got plenty of time". In that moment, a weight was lifted (and a cupcake was eaten) and instead of dwelling on all of the day's worries and jealousies, RÉN channeled that energy and the wise baker's advice into the foundation of her next pop feel-good, yet always introspective jam "Into the Unknown". Complementary in wisdom to her debut single "Time", the song is an escape and much-needed reminder to let go of those aspects of life you will never have control over. In a way it embodies the core concept of RÉN - to be true to yourself, stop comparing yourself to others, channel your stress into positive energy, and create changes you long for so that you can live fully, 'let go' of everything holding you back and go 'Into the Unknown'.

Lyrics:
Anxiety get the best of me
I'm falling back on my family
Another pill to get some sleep
I've found myself running to the sea

My momma says that it's not okay
To be so crazed at such an early age
My doctor said "you would be amazed,
I see this craze almost every day"

Relax my friend, you've got plenty of time
Sit back and let your mind unwind

Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know

Society, yeah I'm in too deep
I'm wanting more than I need
Never enough for you for me
Bleed on jealousy

Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know

Wasting time, I'm wasting time
I thought that I done lose my mind
Wasting time, I'm wasting time
I thought that I done lose my mind

Gotta go,
Gotta let go
Gotta go,
Gotta let go

Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
