You told me I'm the best
You're just like the rest
I don't want to put you through all the things I left in you
I'll wear it anyway, you know it's felt like a thousand years
The entire crescendo, it's all in my head
Now I'm dressed in all black
Sometimes I mouth the words, I'm falling behind
How do I make it right, well it might be time to try
I can't undo this feeling of you but aren't you just like the rest
The entire crescendo, it's all in my head

Wherever you go, I’ll take the hit for you
Wherever you go, I know you’ll take it too
Wherever you’d go
Watch me turn and self-annihilate
I have to have my house in order to be happy here
I want to be yours, and every time, well that’s of course
I know you don’t care, you tell me that it’s not fair
You round me out now but will you use the sharp edge on my head
There’s something inside, self-sabotage
I have to keep my house in order to be happy here
I want to be yours, and every time, well that’s of course
I know you don’t care, you tell me I don’t compare

Did you put up a concrete wall cause you finally found someone
I try to run across but the meaning is lost
I want to be so close to you and catch you standing there
If you fall I’ll catch you sideways spinning in the air
Will you ever go away
Do you always have to play it safe
Unturned but she’s the world and she follows you down
I want to be so close to you and catch you standing there
I just want to be there breathing your air
Did you vanish in love
Did you manage to run
It’s all a mistake, it’s all a compounding error

New Ground

Are you afraid
Will you meet me halfway
I'm on to you, but will you see it through
Now you’re on to me and who I try to be
I’m so scared of new ground, did I let you down
Your eyes swell in mid-day
I know you want to rue and slip away
Will you meet me halfway
I know you want to be the first but I’d never let you go
You're so scared of new ground, did I let you down

I don't mind if I bruise my knees to ask your hand
But you always lift me up so I can see every part of me
Will you be my gemini with me all the time
I love that you're always the first to dance
I love that you're always the one around to say it's okay
I hope you know even my friends feel the same about you
I can't believe it's been eight years
You used to leave and disappear
You used to even have red hair
Will you be my gemini with me all the time
It was always your love

She Spins

Can't you see the ice beneath
starts to bend when you condescend the way I try
She turns everything upside down
With you I feel like I'm skating on thin ice
Will it bother you if I don't want to hide
Can't you see the ice beneath me
starts to bend when you defend the way he tries
Will you use the same words to hurt me again
She says she only spins for you
Do you remember all the words you used to hurt me
Are you giving me a test to make me a mess
I'm ready to hear what you whispered in his ear
I'll hold my breath until the conversation's clear
I'm falling again, I'm falling upside down again
She spins even when I'm in the room
She spins like she's waiting for my doom
I feel like I'm skating on thin ice with you

Tumble

Do you ever break character
Deep down I know, I'm fragile and slow
Do you ever think of me
I'm melting this time
Do you feel better
I've been feeling so slow, I don't think I can last
I've been feeling so old, can we stay in the past
Dear diary, are you on to me
Dear diary, can we stay in the past
Do you ever think of me when you tumbledown

Do me a favor and look away
You trace the lines right on my face
Do you want to see me clutching my chest again
Look away, I think it's a picture of me
I'm only pretty when I'm breaking everything
I know I'm so easy to predict, it's just like me
Do me a favor and look away
You trace the lines right on my face
Do you want to see me clutching my chest again
You can't see me crumble
It's so hard to pretend
I should face the consequence
I'll take a stab at it or maybe I'll wait until retirement
I was almost fool enough to think that wasn't me

everything is alive
by Slowdive
supported by 85 fans who also own “IV”
Shoegaze royalty. Often aped, but never beaten, this might be their strongest release yet. Mesmerising.

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way).

Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too

A beautiful and heartfelt collection of shoegaze/dream pop excellence. I return to it time and time again.
