Homesick 05:07
Chasing a train through my hometown Landscape passes by now The ticket heavy in my pocket with a new city to roam Destination unknown Don’t tell me I’m afraid of what’s to come Don’t remind me that I’m away from my love Though there’s a future waiting around the corner I’ve been stuck to you since the day I truly saw ya I have never known myself to not need someone to hold I'm growing old Snapped from a spinning carousel Used to spin, now not so well Silver trim, let me swim in golden inlay For one more day I've never known myself like I know you I’ve never really known what holds true I’m like an ambulance just chasing a commotion Do I ever let my heart just stop in slow motion? I have never been the type to see the light through the fog Homesick is prologue No hope about it I’ll always need you next to me No way to doubt it We will always sing our melody

Shroud 03:28
40 miles between me and my love Two days a week is not enough When the dawn brings the morning sun From behind the fog will come But it’s just a low cloud Just a low cloud Just a slow shroud And it’s below me now You’ve been my missing piece for all our lives It just took time to grow to size Eyelash bounce as you close your eyes A foggy future finally realised It’s in sight now Take a right now Just a slow shroud It’s before me now But it’s just a low cloud Just a low cloud Just a slow shroud And it’s below me now

Bloom 03:44
Dew on web and chestnut falls Leaves are left by student halls Fog in the distance, are you calling to me? You’re crawling to me Independence is a friend of loneliness Clocks spin slower when the time feels like a test Dew on web and fence rail steel No spider there and no trapped meal Drowned on an autumn morn At the taste of dawn Independence is a friend of loneliness Clocks spin slower when the time feels like a test A piece of paper is at the end of all this stress But at least the morning’s fresh Dew on web and life is true Left to fend for my own tunes Far away love, are you drawing me? Autumn morning, are you drowning me? Fog in the distance, are you calling to me? You’re crawling to me Midnight hue is purplish-blue I only smile when I’m with you My eyes are drooping, sleep is due A good winter starts to bloom

about

I recorded this EP in my bedroom at Uni. The idea behind it is that if you have too many layers of your life, everything just becomes fog. This is a new direction for my music, led by my recent love of Bon Iver, and basically I just really wanted to get back to my acoustic roots, that I've been feeling neglectful of lately.

But if you prefer my band-sounding stuff, never fear; I'm starting a new project very soon.

Enjoy The Fog!
