I saw it clear as I'd hoped
After all these years
You'd say photographs
Leave nothing to talk about
Why stay holding on
If it's all been kept?

Oh, I remember it
So much better now
That I've got nothing to prove
I was there
I was there

You always could
Pull faces right out of the rocks
You'd fill up your phone
With ordinary empty coast
Never needed to show
That you were there

How you'd erase yourself
And I remember it better now
'Cause we had nothing to prove
We were there

I Was There

Trapped in a way
Perusing it all
I could just scroll
Around the universe alone
It's not like I care
'Til sometimes I do
Notice the leak that's
Slowly filling up the room

Day's last breath is spent
Drenched in your silence

The sun is angled low
Animates the shore
Shadows running out to sea
Into the swell

Took a trip
Deep in the week
Had to get out
Because the walls began to peel
The ginkgo and oak
Showered the street
The mid-morning ghost
You know that I can sometimes be

And I don't mind
Water burns our eyes
Throws us from all sides
A chance to surface right

As sun is angled low
Animates the shore
Shadows running out to sea
Into the swell
All your breath is spent
Falling through the sand
Drenched in the silence

Drenched In Silence

In a thousand years
You wonder how it'd be
To walk the ancient yards
Of all the places left
Abandoned or eclipsed
Would you notice still
The ones we'd once called home?
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how

This heart aches on and on for you
Forever, all the days we'd lose
Wishing that something
Beautiful would stay
Better keep moving on and on
And on and on and on and on
Better keep moving

You start turning back
Wondering how it's fared
Your love, all overgrown
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how
The garden's spilled over
I want to show you how
This heart aches on and on
This heart aches on and on

Spilled Over

“the place i use to hide” was born from an instrumental written by Melting Resonance in New York City and extrapolated on and sung by Yum Yuck in Cape Town. The song’s eerie and wistful production and lyrical themes speak of mixed feelings of isolation, frustration and rebirth. No longer running from your troubles or lovers but attempting to face them dead on. The intimate vocals and spaced-out synthesisers and guitars ebb and flow over a groovy drum and bass interplay that grounds the song.

Lyrics the place i use to hide (Pascal Righini)

It’s been quite a day
I cast a line out from the sandbank and hope for the best
Take me away 
From all the faces and places and the things I detest 

I wanna show you something new 
When I can’t seem to find the place I use to hide 
I wanna be brand new 
But every time I try I remember that I still want you 

It’s been quite a year 
I took a train out from the sand bank into to the Wild West
I faced my fears 
I took your bullets, took your best shot right to the chest
Right to the chest

I wanna show you something new 
But I can’t seem to find the place I use to hide 
I wanna be brand new 
But every time I try I remember that I still want you

Finding Myself in You

“Brut, sans filtre, sans retour.”

Quand tout s’arrête du jour au lendemain.
Tu me détruis comme ça plonge dans la rupture sans explication — la douleur nue, la colère rentrée, le vide après l’impact.
Un cri contenu sur des basses sombres et des accords qui tremblent, entre rock, pop et désillusion.
