OUR MUSIC
โYou Can Flyโ is an uplifting yet intimate song written to encourage you to unlock your potential, pursue your passions, and have the courage to always try things you long to do. ย ๐ฆ
This is our first original release in 4 years, and draws on our experience building a business as musicians, artists & now entrepreneurs.ย We took heavy underlying emotional themes, like uncertainty and self-doubt, that we all face, and paired them with a light/airy/dreamy arrangement and lyrics to hopefully inspire those who feel they have untapped potential and overcome hurdles and create personal growth in their life.ย ๐๏ธ
So often we fear the road toward our aspirations is daunting, and our brains often self-sabotage, but having someone in your corner encouraging you, and taking small steps toward a big dream can be very rewarding and freeing.ย This is the mood we tried to capture in this song.ย We hope it can inspire at least one person to take action toward their goals. ๐ง
You Can Fly
Hello, i'm your neighbour
Hello, i'm your friend
Hello, i'm the little voice
Inside your head
Tellinโ you you're worth it
Tellinโ you you're gold
Tellinโ you your story
Is worth being told
You can fly
You can move mountains, if you try
If you can open your wings, youโll fly
Take just one step forward
Take one leap of faith
Take one problem at a time
Youโll be ok
Never think youโre hopeless
Never think youโre loud
Never think your dreams are just
Your head up in the clouds
You can fly
You can move mountains, if you try
If you can open your wings, youโll fly
You can fly
You can move mountains, if you try
If you can open your wings, youโll fly
โLost at Seaโ was ou very first EP (extended play) featuring 4 original songs inspired by, and written during, the time we performed on cruise ships.ย Ironically, we released it when the cruise industry was shut down in 2020 ๐.
๐จ A little about the cover art & album title:
We made the EP artwork together ๐๐: between watercolour paints, dollar store glass bottles, diy lighting, and a pile of glass stones, we photographed the "beachy" album cover scene to reflect the feeling we, as musicians,ย often have about releasing original music: that our song are like a tiny bottle in an ocean of digital media, just waiting to be heard by someone who may enjoy the message inside.ย Being full-time musicians also comes with a lot of uncertainty, and โLost at Seaโ is a tribute to that lost feeling so common among artists, that we are unsure of our skills, doubt our potential, constantly searching for answers, and looking to find ourselves through the things we create.ย ๐
Each song touches on a major theme/topic:
ย โA Beautiful Dayโ is a song about happiness, appreciating the beauty in a day, and practicing simple gratitude for the life you have in order to let go of hard times.
ย โTrain of Toughtโ is a love song with a driving train-like rhythm, about how lovely it is when your thoughts drift away to that special someone.
ย โStruggleโ was truly a struggle to write, and ended up being a song about just that; it speaks to artists battling with themselves mentally or in a rut. ย This mental health anthem is a cry to our own worst enemies and critics (ourselves) to stop self-doubt and fear in its tracks and letting yourself be creative.
ย โI Wonder (Who Am I)โ unsurprisingly is a song about self-discovery, looking within, and seeing ourselves through the eyes of other people, it was the very first song we ever wrote together.
A Beautiful Day
Feel the sunshine on my face
Nature's subtle warm embrace
Can you hear the laughter ringing through the trees
Carried by the autumn breeze
All my worries and my troubles go away
It's a beautiful day
Yes, all my worries and my troubles go away
It's a beautiful day
Breathe in sweet September air
Sigh a smile and then you're there
Happiness is simple if you take the time
So I sing a couple rhymes
And all my worries and my troubles go away
Can you see the subtle beauty in today
And if you can't, here's what you can say
It's a beautiful day
Sometimes the sky is darkened gloomy and grey
Caught up in all the little clouds that come our way
But if you smile and let some sunshine come through
Then you will see what I've been seeing too
Feel the sunshine on my face
Nature's subtle warm embrace
Hear the happy laughter ringing through the trees
Carried by the autumn breeze
Let all your worries and your troubles fall away
All of the little things that bothered yesterday
Watch them all disappear the moment that you say
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Train of Thought
Staring into space, thoughts will come and go
I close my eyes and let my mind flow
Stoppin' at stations, old destinations in faded memories
And findin' new places, wide open spaces for my day dreams
Suddenly there's only two
Suddenly it's me and you
And oh how I love my train of thought
Runnin' to you, oh
You see, every now and then there's a moment -
The colour of roses, where everything gently fades away
And I can't help but smile, 'cuz I could be here a while
I didn't even try but, here's what happened
Suddenly there's only two
Suddenly it's me and you
And oh how I love my train of thought
Runnin' to you
Runnin' to you
Runnin' to you (Runnin' n' runnin' n'
Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' to you)
My train of thought is (Runnin' n'
Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' to you)
(Runnin' to you)
(Ooo)
Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin'
Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin'
Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin'
Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin'
When I think of where we've been
And where where meant to be
I know you know, and you know I know
It's just us, you and me
Suddenly there's only two (Runnin' n' Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' to you)
Suddenly its me and you (Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin')
My train of thought is (Runnin' n' Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin' to you)
And oh how I love my train of thought (Runnin' n' runnin' n' runnin')
Runnin' to you
Struggle
It's tough everyday feeling like were fighting the same war
A battle inside of my brain
All of these earthly problems weigh on my mind
As we spin in confusion
And I hear your sentimental storm
Strike self pity on my woe
And my favourite thoughts are much too soft
Going away, going away
And I'm tired of all your hurting and your, your ups and downs
And I just want to say
I want you to work, not later on but here and now
Do it my way
And I want to say to my internal struggle
Let me do my thing
You've done all that you want
Well now it's my turn, and I just need a little space
Time to create in the cosmos
The careless clarity of wandering minds
And I shoot across the galaxy
Far away from gravity
Your black hole of negativity just
Going away, going away
And now all my star ideas are gonna go supernova (supernova)
And I just want to say
I want you to work, not later on but here and now
Do it my way
And I want to say to my internal struggle
Let me do my thing
Ooo
I want you to work, not later on but here and now
Do it my way (my way)
And I want to say to my internal struggle
Let me do my
I want you to work, not later on but here and now
Do it my way
And I want to say to my internal struggle
Let me do my thing
Let me do my thing oo-oh-yea
Let me do my thing
Oh, let me do my thing
I Wonder (Who Am I)
No matter where I go
Knowing where I'm going seems so hard
In a modern world
Seeing is believing now
In this crowded space
Things are out of focus 'til you know who you are
Oh, yeah
I wonder
I wonder who am I
I wonder
I wonder who am I
Oh who am I
I don't know why
I feel this way when I look ahead
But deep inside
Everything feels different now
And who am I to question choices I have made
But who am I to tell me where to go
I wonder
I wonder who am I
I wonder
I wonder who am I
What do I have to do
What do I need to do, baby
Ooo
You see me differently
You know me better than me
I look into your eyes
So full of wonder
And I wonder
I wonder who am I
I wonder
I wonder who am I
What do I have to do
What do I need to do, baby
Tell what I gotta do
To try to get to know me better
