Gordi - Way I Go

Hamptons City Cowboy

'Little Tooth' is a warm, contemplative song about witnessing my partner age with a certain grace, and feeling stuck / left behind due to my resistance to the natural 'wither and bloom’ that comes with change. It's realizing that what we try to hold onto, like a baby tooth clinging to the gums, might be what we need to let go of to 'make a space for something new.' Produced by Eric Hillman (Foreign Fields), mixed by Zach Hanson (Bon Iver, The Staves, Gordi), and mastered by Taylor Dupree.

This one might be a surprise? Dedicated to a new-born baby. Close friends of ours. My way of welcoming a new human being to our world. This triggers a lot of memories of the time when we were young (first) parents. Our kids change our whole life, but in a very good and satisfying way. In their first years, they totally depend on us and then they slowly start to walk on their own path. We still might have to assist them here and there, but one day, they will be grown up. They will always feel like our children. This will only end, when we finally pass. That was my heaviest emotion, when my father passed five years after my mother. I was nobody's child anymore. Enough with those heavy thoughts!!! Welcome Magalie! Please enjoy, this one is for you.

In My Life (Beatles Cover)

Tourism EP available now on Color Study: ffm.to/tourism



I was trying to find someone to love me
and then I did and she was dancing
across the room with the lights on her half-closed eyes

So then I took another drink and stumbled
across to her and said something ridiculous
like a man who’d refuse to shine

See I was looking for a still life
now it is stillborn
in the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm

I was trying to write a song so articulate
it could right my wrongs but I wrote it wrong
this is not it, it’s just a field day for a therapist
“and what did you dream?”
that I wrote a song
“and what did it mean?”
that I got it wrong, I don’t know
I don’t know

See I was looking for a still life
now it is stillborn
in the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm

Did I know it then? Did I cry out then?
by the blooming tree in Switzerland?
No I never really know
No I never really know
what I can do about it
If I lie down on the dirty ground
would the angels sing?

still life
now it is stillborn
in the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm

Careless

Songs for nights spent in the warmth of home, while outside a storm rages, wild and beautiful and loud. Also, there's a mad synth knocking on the door.
