lyrics

Got lost on the way
Took a route I didn’t mean to follow down
And I was tempted, sure, but I have come home now

Remember the day
You picked me up, you had me screaming, showing off
With all those lighter tricks I once was so fond of

And who am I leave behind
We built this
And even when it falls apart it’s ours
But who could say that I’m to blame
For wandering
I never knew I’d find my way into the arms
Of men at bars

Got back in the ring
I took a spill, I spent a while just tumbling down
I found my head again and took to a new town

Remember the day
I picked you up, flicked on my torch and you hid it well
The humiliation tactics you’d become known for

Said who am I leave behind
We built this
And even when it breaks apart it’s ours
But who could say that I’m to blame
For wondering
I never knew I’d wind up here, to take up arms
At men at bars

Jubilee

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

Psychopomp

This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s. Combining bold, memorable melodies, varied and textured music, and emotionally breathtaking lyrics, Psychopomp will be remembered for many decades to come and has an unforgettable place in the heart of anybody who knows it.
