adventures in shoegaze

Summertime was when we met all drunk at that party
She walked away with me that night
Since then we hung out daily
We held hands and had some fun, but it was ended shortly
When what's-his-name came into place
And you fell for him slowly

She pushed me away ever since that day with him
And I'm at home just sick of shit again

Because I need her
But she's already leaving me
Because I need her
But she's already leaving me
But then I need her, and I need her, and I need her bad
But she's already leaving me
But then I need her
But she's already leaving me
But oh well

Crazy how life goes on without me
Maybe one day I'll find the one to save me
But can't you be that person to answer me?
But it was all your fault, since you left me

She pushed me away ever since that day with him
And I'm at home just sick of the shit again

Because I need her
But she's already leaving me
Because I need her
But she's already leaving me
But then I need her, and I need her, and I need her bad
But she's already leaving me
And I need her
But she's already leaving me
Because I need her

I Want to Hide My Face & Die

Overthinking

Mute My Mind

cover

i’ve dreamt of your face
its engrained in a 
part of my brain

ain’t you tired of this place?
we can drive away
if that would be okay

i’d make u feel safe
just for a little bit
until i’ve made u sick

i think its time to let you go
but babe i’ll let you know
i’ll let you know…

i see no point in living if i can't be beautiful

Alone with the Sound the Mind Makes

Canals of Our City

maybe we can try
to stick together

cus everything besides you
doesn’t mean too much 

oh baby i don’t mind
that you barely try

oh baby i wont lie
you’re my favorite type

we don’t say much
yet i’m staring at your face
like i’m in love with you

the things i write about
make me wonder if i’ll
ever get to be with you

i’d play some duster
sitting next to her
and whisper in her ear
“i love you, dear”

i love you, dear

Michael Smyth is the sole contributor in Silk, responsible for the writing, performing and recording of all the music. On third single 'july' we find him at his most focused and realised to date. Previous singles were recorded as experiments which ultimately led to the birth of the project, but on 'july' we hear the first single recorded with the intention of being released as part of the project. Building upon and refining the sound presented on previous releases.

When it came time to mix and master the track, Michael turned to Allan McGreevy (New Pagans) to help bring the track to life. The result marries the wall of sound, and etheral textures of shoegaze with an 90's alternative rock punchiness.

i wish you told me the things that i did wrong
left unannounced
left me dead in bed
oh the things you said
what made you change your mind
when we were walking through the green all night it was the best time of my life
