Ben Van Bonn Saturated with an atmosphere of seaside misremembering. Favorite track: One More Last Kiss.

Diego Farías This is the best album by Ivy. Because they started a experimental sound and they did it brilliant. Many artists failed traying to experiment but Ivy didn't fail. It's the album I fell in love with the band. It represents a watershed in my life. Runing Ivy Fan Page for almost 19 years and counting. Favorite track: I Think Of You.

theUtmost I thought I was covered for Ivy (hah! 😋) with Apartment Life. I was wrong.
It only took a single listen through this to realise I needed more Ivy in the ears. Jangly pop FTW! While I've got a feeling is still my fave Ivy track I felt it wasn't fair to pick that one when I already did that for Apartment Life. I seem to have chosen probably the least jangly, most poppy track on this compilation, and I'm not sure why but it IS catchy and it does make me smile a lot. Those harmonies 🤗 Favorite track: Edge Of The Ocean.

Undertow 04:21
standing by yourself high on the hills above the ocean this is where you'd come to walk with your friends strange how it leaves you with no emotion you can't fight the undertow not when you're all alone you can't fight the undertow how long 'til you let go? taking one step back trying to pull yourself together no matter what you say nothing you do can hold back the forces on you forever you can't fight the undertow not when you're all alone you can't fight the undertow how long 'til you let go?

Disappointed 04:24
baby for the first time i’m falling, falling for the last time half dead on the inside feels like nothing's left at all half smile on the outside then its gone i could never be what you want me to be i’m just gonna leave you disappointed i could never be what you want me to be i’m just gonna leave you disappointed could it be that this time we're just longing, longing for the first time it's been such a long ride now we're slipping back again no matter how we try to pretend i could never be what you want me to be i’m just gonna leave you disappointed i could never be what you want me to be i’m just gonna leave you disappointed i could never see what you wanted from me all you're gonna be is disappointed i could never be what you want me to be i’m just gonna leave you disappointed

there's a place i dream about where the sun never goes out and the sky is deep and blue won't you take me there with you ooh, we can begin again shed our skin let the sun shine in at the edge of the ocean we can start over again there's a world i’ve always known somewhere far away from home when i close my eyes i see all the space and mystery ooh, we can begin again shed our skin let the sun shine in at the edge of the ocean we can start over again

i saw you walk into the store just as i was leaving i don't know why it should matter it's history repeating i heard my name ring out through the air i jumped onto the last bus i’m looking back you're fixing your hair there's nothing left between us blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself through the streets and down the hill i stared out the window underneath i started to feel something had finally let go round the corner and to the end i put my feet on the pavement and for a moment I'm back again remembering what you once meant blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself i wonder how it's gonna feel to mean nothing more to anyone round the corner and to the end i put my feet on the pavement and for a moment I'm back again remembering what you once meant blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself blame it on, blame it on yourself

while we're in love we'll bleed each other dry we'll hold each other close we'll make each other cry while we're in love we'll get what we deserve until we loose our faith until we loose our nerve we know it won't last forever cause we're not meant to be together make the best of a bad situation face the fear and the desperation while we're in love while we're in love while we're in love we'll drag ourselves around we'll hold each other up we'll tear each other down we know it won't last forever cause we're not meant to be together make the best of a bad situation face the fear and the desperation while we're in love while we're in love

nothing's ever going to make her happy she doesn’t mind cause she’s used to it that way time, time, time, marches on forever she’s still trying to get it together lucy doesn't love you not like you want her to some dreams don't come true lucy doesn't love you no, she doesn't love you four in the morning you're still wide awake just can't shake, shake, shake the headache up all night up all day again don't want to talk to any of your friends lucy doesn't love you not like you want her to some dreams don't come true lucy doesn't love you no, she doesn't love you i know it’s hard for you to take everybody makes a few mistakes sometimes nothing's ever going to make you happy you don’t mind you’re getting used to it that way lucy doesn't love you not like you want her to some dreams don't come true lucy doesn't love you no, she doesn't love you

bye bye baby don't be long i’ll worry about you while you're gone bye bye baby don't be long i’ll worry about you while you're gone i’ll think of you in my dreams you'll never know just what you mean to me, to me bye bye baby don't be long i’ll worry about you while you're gone bye bye baby don't be long i’ll worry about you while you're gone i’ll think of you night and day i’ll never know just what you meant to say, to say

thunder and lightning isn't it frightening rainy day morning feels like a warning let's stay inside like the sun we will hide til it's safe again let's stay inside til the city has dried all its tears again under the weather feels like forever can't see the skyline daytime is nighttime let's stay inside til the grey in the sky turns to blue again let's stay inside disappear for a while til its clear again cause I know it won't last we've got to let it pass take it slow laying low until the time is right thunder and lightning isn't it frightening rainy day morning feels like a warning let's stay inside like the sun we will hide til it's safe again let's stay inside til the city has dried all its tears again

Midnight Sun 05:28
floating over the airwaves what a feeling I don't believe it distant voices from deep space are you receiving or can't you hear it? you're still the only one who sets me free just like a midnight sun shining on me drifting over the freeways it seems so easy i know you're near me rising up through the staircase your eyes are open i know you hear me you're still the only one who sets me free just like a midnight sun shining on me riding out on the airwaves what a feeling I don't believe it lift me out of this strange place give me something - you know I need it you're still the only one who sets me free just like a midnight sun shining on me you're still the only one who sets me free just like a midnight sun shining on me
10.
i think of you whenever i’m alone whenever i get lonely i think of you wherever you may go i know that you are only one dream away so don't give up baby don't give in if we try we can begin again i know what we've been through but i still think of you i think of you whenever i get down whenever i get weary i think of you when you're not around i wonder if you hear me call out your name so don't give up baby don't give in if we try we can begin again i know what we've been through but i still think of you
11.
Hideaway 04:09
all gone, the sun is off to bed the day's done so rest your head we'll fly to a place across the bay outside where it's dark and grey we'll hide away under silver waves we'll lie awake under a silver sky we'll hide away so long, the night is closing in everyone is alone again we're going on a midnight ride under stars and satellites a thousand miles from where we've been we'll hide away under silver waves we'll lie awake under a silver sky we'll hide away
12.
i’m not afraid to start over it's just a feeling that we shared they can't take that away i’m not afraid to be lonely it's just a question of how long, how long I have to wait so one more last kiss like two prisoners one more last kiss to hold on to one more last kiss just to remember you before we fade away before we fade away i’m not here making excuses but no apologies could change the way this all will end we're only just what we're made of i’m only sorry that we can't have this chance again so one more last kiss like two prisoners one more last kiss to hold on to one more last kiss just to remember you before we fade away before we fade away
13.
i just got your message baby so sad to see you fade away what in the world is this feeling catch a breath and leave me reeling it'll get you in the end it's god's revenge oh i know i should come clean but i prefer to deceive everyday i walk alone and pray that god won't see me i know it's wrong i know it's wrong tell me why is it i’m digging your scene i know i’ll die baby they put you in a home to fill in but I wouldn't call that living i’m like a boy among men i’d like a permanent friend i’d like to think that i was just myself again oh tell me why is it i’m digging your scene i know i’ll die baby i just got your message baby so sad to see you fade away i’m like a boy among men i’d like a permanent friend i’d like to think that i was just myself again oh tell me why is it i’m digging your scene i know i’ll die baby oh tell me why is it i’m digging your scene i know i’ll die baby c’mon baby c’mon baby
