Your favorite song in the background  I only wanted to give you something  Something you could watch grow Blending in with the dying winds   The shuffling, the dragging of feet  Something I could hear coming I felt the light embrace me  Divorcing the weight upon Your favorite song in the background  I only wanted to give you something  Something you could watch grow A flutter from her distilled heart  I am the quiver in her fears   Truths always hurt the most I felt the light embrace me  Divorcing the weight upon
2.	Idyll 03:10	lyrics	buy track
Make a body out of anger   I disappear inside of you  A projection, wishful thinking  Had a blue flame life  And I unravel with grit   Don’t you wish you could, too? Heartbreak comes in waves...   Make a body out of anger  I disappear inside of you  A connection, dreadful eyes  And a desire for life   And unrest with gifts  Don’t you wish you could, too? Heartbreak comes in waves...

Seasons withdrew to their homes  Beautifully falling asleep to the hum Here come the waterworks Fantastic light  Drowse, repose “Death is close to everyone”   And now you find yourself afraid of every clock on a wall They’re just soft reminders Collective suns drawn on page   Uncut versions of daily life on a screen   Here come the waterworks  Cyanide awakening  Palimpsest mind “Death is close to everyone”  And now you find yourself afraid of every clock on a  wall They’re just soft reminders Fantastic light  Drowse, repose  “Death is close to everyone”  And now you find yourself afraid of every clock on a wall They’re just soft reminders

Alongside a picture, a dove  Relenting to monoliths above  Your face didn’t feel like a face (anymore) I guided you to Sigma  It could be anything for you now It’s only an enigma  If you could just show us how Alongside a picture, a dove  Relenting to monoliths above Your heart was gone without a trace I guided you to Sigma  It could be anything for you now It’s only an enigma  If you could just show us how If you could just show us how
7.	The Crux Of It 06:53	lyrics	buy track
Don’t you stray from the path ... New death is new life  A light destroys us   And I, I barely live  And I, I barely die I hope you never realize ... you’re my only weakness  The week ends  And I, I barely live  And I, I barely die Birches soaking in holy rain  The scepter’s in your hands  Quiescent endings  Birches soaking in holy rain  The scepter’s in your hands  Quiescent endings for the broken hearted The futility of love...  has never been so clear  Yet I long for futile things  And I, I barely live  And I, I barely die It’s a beautiful world...  that we’re unable to enjoy  And I, I barely live  And I, I barely die Birches soaking in holy rain  The scepter’s in your hands  Quiescent endings  Birches soaking in holy rain  The scepter’s in your hands  Quiescent endings for the broken hearted
8.	Glaikit 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Words fail to reach  And letters escape my grasp  I need no reminders  If only I could let go  I wanted you to want me  But what if there aren’t words? I wanted you to hold me  Nothing quite sharp enough to sever a bond A moment is penned down  A gesture, if not a sigh  I hold no grudges  A different kind of hell I wanted you to take me  But what if there aren’t words?  I wanted you to hold me  Nothing quite sharp enough to sever a bond

about

Heartlands was born out of necessity. It embodies a songwriting process that I had never been through before.
In late 2018, I took a songwriting course, without a musical approach, but more about unlocking the part of you that creates. I had only been able to write songs without a structure, stuff like ambient and noise.
After the course ended, I was somehow able to let the music flow much faster, and a journey of creation began, taking many shapes and forms.

First, I thought of releasing an acoustic EP called Fawnings, with 5 songs dedicated to people I've only met online, and who mean a lot to me.
As time passed, more songs were written and the EP turned into Heartlands. Initially conceived as an EP, it is now an 8 song album.

As the songs improved and morphed, the cohesive threads drifted.
After months and months of self-introspection, frustration, and unrelenting passion...I was left with 8 tracks about a long distance relationship, and about how loving the wrong person can feel so right.

I'd like to add that none of the songs have been properly mixed/mastered. One day in the future I will re-release this!
