Juke the Tiger - Dancetoon

Team Leader

After releasing three singles, the Canadian artist Layten Kramer finally reveals his EP ‘Eye to eye’. Nostalgic, playful and rock-oriented, this project will not leave anyone unmoved notably thanks to the use of numerous guitars, drums and a slightly reverberated voice that give an overall sentiment of psychedelia and nostalgia to whoever is listening to it. The eponymous track perfectly embodies that idea with playful, yet moving, lyrics incorporated into a whole ensemble of instruments.

Lyrics:

Doomscrolling on my phone
When I'm feeling all alone
Make it go away

Spinning in the twilight zone
Endless cycle on my own
Repeat every day

Doomscrolling on my phone
Picked it up, I should've known
There's no getaway

Doomscrolling on my phone
Feeling bad right to the bone
Seeping to my brain

So will you sit beside me as I melt into my phone?
Could it be the reason why I'm feeling so alone?

Lyrics:
Locking eyes with a foe in a floral blue dress
A grin, a name, a weight in the glance, a whirl of ideas
Civilised in person, raw in retreat
Upbahpbahpbahpbahp-biased to ever stop hinting a spark

Distressed sermon, free rogue vermin
Do you wonder? Leave distance?
Hope you feel the parting breath

I’m searching the depths of a faith long lost
All aboard the loco motive, fear not losing track

Any arrow in the heart, just to feel it
Shock of pain into a darkness, numbness

Arrow

Nobody Somebody

Ven a Besarme

This is an acoustic version of Your Solitude by Blindness & Light.

Your Solitude (acoustic)

eazy soft indie song for long distance runners

like a new guy 
in the town, 
walking down the street
[ bridge]
turning all things upside down
as you want to be


houses sailling on their chimneys
birds are fish 
and smoke's  like sea


[ instrumental intermezzo, guitar short melodic solo, two guitars, responses each other]

now is the right time
to take your 
dreams 
[ bridge]
seriously, 
[ drop]
and climbe, up to the top, 
that chery three 

houses sailling on their chimneys
birds are fish 
and smoke's  like sea

two more people smiles at you
right now
[ bridge]
on the sleepy empty street
gentle smile returns back
[ bridge]
and you feel 
right now 
[ bridge]
as happy as you wanna be

eternal love and endless joy
flying fish and swimming birds 
jumping from the window down
[ bridge]
on to empty sleepy street

[ bridge]
[ instrumental outro ]
