Psalms of Yellow House

Lyrics: 

It all started to unravel in the spring of ‘94
Looking back now, it seems the writing was on the wall
You’ve never seen a kid with a heart so sore
If I could take back all I did 
If I could take back all I saw

Saviour Complex

Are you sorry that you met me? 
Are you scared of who I am?
Gonna move in with your sister? 
Gonna get out while you can?
They say I won’t recover, I’m too far gone
I’m living undercover 
I’m a ticking time bomb

Saviour Complex
Saviour Complex
Saviour Complex

I feel so sorry for my mother, burdened by my ills
It’s for her that I got sober, why I’m staying on my pills
I heard her praying for me in hope the heavens let me in
May God show me mercy as I explain where I’ve been

Bootleg Series - 1

Trouble Always Finds Me (Folk Version)

Leave The City (Folk Version)

* All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Yellow House.
* Mastered by Fin Mastering.

Lyrics:

Washed out with the rain
But I’d do it again
Trade in your blues
For a better view
I know it’s a dismal game we play
I know you’re testing me

Sleep off the pain
And try again
Blackout your eyes
With a better high
I know about the twisted rites you hide behind
I know you’re testing me

Rip off the veil
Of this hellish tale
Slip through the back streets
And cover up your trail
I know it’s the vague and dark you’re drawn too
I know you’re testing me

A Carnival of Fears

Better Views

Lyrics:

I didn’t know where we would stand,
My head in my hands,
But I never wanna see your face again

Didn’t know where we would be,
We’re nothing to see,
But I know that I never wanna do it again

You just stand outside my window
And watch me bleed out
You’re running again,
Running scared
You’re at it again,
Running scared

In my head,
You’re always in my head
I should’ve kept my own part clean
In my head,
You’re always in my head
I couldn’t stay astray
Stray

I don’t know where we went wrong
Was it dead all along?
I just know that I never wanna feel that again

I don’t know what I could say
To take it away
But I know that I never wanna hurt you again

You just stand outside my window
And hear me scream out
You’re running again,
Running scared 
You’re at it again,
Running scared

In my head,
You’re always in my head
I should’ve kept my own part clean
In my head,
You’re always in my head
I couldn’t stay astray
Stray

Stray

Lyrics:

I don’t understand it, 
Tell me, does it show?
Feel overwhelmed by
A lack of control
Kick back and leave me in the cold
It’s fine, I’ve never needed anything to hold onto
Now you say you want another lover at your door?
No, I don’t wanna play the same game anymore
You wanna leave tonight
Leave before the light
Can offer us a bit of life

I never found out that peace of mind
Was an illusion bound and tied
Behind thick walls of blues and greys,
The haze we’d dreamt up to disguise the pain
Hold on now, the feeling that it brings
Is just a temporary pain
And I’m never gonna bring it back ‘round here again
I’m gonna leave tonight,
Leave before the light
Can offer us a bit of life
Sever the chord that ties
These tiring eyes
To the dark in wait behind

Lyrics:

(People have only two choices: to suffer, or to fight)

Oh, grueling undertow
Spit me out any place you know
I'm too tired to swim home
Another staggering knockabout
Hammering the thought home
Like a nail through the window
Who are you to tell me who to know
And what to know?
Can't you leave this poor fool alone?
You're far too scared of the unknown
It feels the same everyday

This flawless paradigm
Can't talk me into blinding my eyes
With the bright lights of these white lies
Souls forgot underneath
The weight of something we could reach
If it weren't easier just to leave ya
Who are you to turn your face away
From the darker days?
Taking cover from another
Maybe it's too late for you
It feels the same everyday

It Feels The Same Everyday

Lyrics:

Heaven knows I’ve been dreaming.
Cut the cord,
Leave me here 
Suspended on a whim

Or maybe I’ll get another drink in,
Lose all sense of rhyme
And reason
And slow down my thinking

Blacken out the sun
With a new point of view
Ideologies stumble out of 
This smoky room
How can I be so young
But feel so used?
Breaking out of the mould
I feel brand new
How about you?

Stepping out of mind,
Been in here for a minute
Tainted youth,
Devilish schemes,
Left me black and blue
Forge another identity
To live by
God, I’d do just about anything
To get through to you

Blacken out the sun
With a new point of view
Ideologies stumble out of 
This smoky room
How can I be so young
But feel so used?
Breaking out of the mould
I feel brand new
How about you?

Sermon on Desire

Heaven Knows

- All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango
- Mastered by Fin. Mastering

I can’t believe it
The state of my heart
Makes for unappealing reading
The livid demons await
By my bedside in the morning
Calling for me to tell you
That I want you, bad.
Though I’d die for the story,
I’m one heartbreak away
From never coming back

Stand and deliver a sermon 
Upon the mount of sinners
The devil slithers
In and out of my mind
Thoughts of you kick back
Like a heart attack
But I can’t take you back
The hot taste of your loving
Is too sweet for my liking

I couldn’t keep myself together
Now you’re leaving with another
I guess that’s what I get
For dreaming
So much of my life
Spent thinking about somebody
Or another.

Sermon On Desire

All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango.

Strung out
On the taste of the weekend
Bitter sweet,
Burning on my tongue
Your lips drip sweet memories
Of passion,
And despair.

I’m weak with fear
That I could never
Get you out of here
Slow down,
Come over here
The nights were made
For inhibitions to disappear.

Oozing and heaving,
Lustful and deceiving
Oh, the taste of this world
Leaves me reeling
I misplaced my faith in
Circles of excess
I’m trying so hard
But none of this makes sense
Dreaming too much
Too much drinking,
Too much sex
I don’t know how
We’ll ever make it through this

Strung Out

All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango.

Dreaming about her
Dripping pendulum curls 
That pull at your world
As your minds swim together
The dark of your night cannot douse out the light
That shines on the Heather

I melt at the sight that bleeds crude,
And divine,
And spits life on the ashes
I’ll take what I can before I wake up,
Then I’ll leave forever.
It’s a routine delay that I always replay
And place on display.
It’s my calling card when I’m falling apart.

Moonlight trickles through the shutters.
Subtle, dim lit appeal
Flickers hints over contours
And leaves me in tatters
“I’ll bare all the scars”, the final remarks
Of a man at his limits.
The sugared scent of desire, leaks fuel in the fire
And fogs up perceptions,

Cue the hazy hum that grips at your lungs
Like it’s begging you for something
To cave, 
Or to remain the pristine young slave
To the draw of lightning
It gets harder to shake
With no moves left to make.

Ain't Gonna Call

- All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango
- Mastered by Fin. Mastering

Lyrics:

I don't want your money
You can't afford love
I'm feeling it all collapse
Right under my nose again
And kick out with the wind

I don't want your hours
I don't have the time
You corner me when I'm down
Down and out again
The only time you ever call me

I'm ready for love
Are you?

Blinding Sights (Left Me Cold In The Night)

- All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango
- Mastered by Fin. Mastering

Lyrics:

Grabbing hold of my hand
Evil moves like silver
Dripping out all over you
Dash through the orchids naked
Breaking daylight stabs
Through the middle
Of our opulent high

I wanna play your
Wicked game.

Wicked Game

- All music and lyrics written, performed and produced by Emile van Dango
- Mastered by Fin. Mastering

Lyrics:

It's all in my mind
These visions of you
Burn straight through the night
No matter how high I try and get
Your demon won't allow me to forget
He's got me set on you
Drives a stake straight through my heart
Every time I drift past

Interlude

- All music and lyrics written, recorded and produced by Emile van Dango
- Mastered by Fin. Mastering

Lyrics:

Maybe I'd be better off in Berlin
Or as an artist’s muse in London
Drifting from hand to hand
Maybe I was born to be a sailor,
Drop my anchors in Antigua
As a travelling fisherman

But I am home wherever you are near
There's no life in anything
When you're not here

What could take my love away?

Maybe I was destined for philosophy
Leading leftist ideologies
At the Paris-Sorbonne
Dreaming up the splendid demise
Of the societies we despise
At Cafe de Flore

But these things lose all their meaning
And allure
If you're not there to
Witness the grandeur

What could take my love away?

Maybe we'll be missionaries in the Congo
Revolutionaries in Cuba
Perhaps we'll build a home
In the shadows of the forest
Along the east coast, or the west coast
I forget where we decided

As long as I'm with you when we do it
I could trade the views in
For any pallet

Nothing can take my love away
Nothing can take my love away

Love In The Time of Socialism

Love In The Time Of Socialism

A sound shaped by years of living between bustling cities and serene isolation, the music of Yellow House is a unique blend of stark reality and escapism.

As Van Gogh’s painting of the Yellow House contrasts bright shades of yellow with deep blue, so too does Yellow House’s work encapsulate the same moods of light and dark. These elements exist in parallel, yet always in harmony. Sombre, yet hopeful.

Yellow House juxtaposes the folk ideologies of reflective poetry with the ethereal nature of Dream Pop. Grounded by a rhythm section inspired by RnB and Hip Hop, these elements combine to create a distinct sonic spectrum.

The upcoming album, "Psalms of Yellow House," promises to build upon this ethos. More than a collection of songs, it is a culmination of a journey that is both artistic and deeply personal. The album stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of meaning and beauty. It is an invitation to the listener to step inside the Yellow House and find solidarity in the shared human condition.
