Ivo Jansen Beautiful record with shades of air and fountains of Wayne. Elegant and sweet, yet intricate. Favorite track: Fragile People.

Jazzdub57 It's a great record. I love it. No doubt it's one of the year's best. The songs, arrangements and production are all superb. I could have chosen a number of favourite tracks but "Traces of You" really moved me. Favorite track: Traces of You.

theUtmost Thanks heaps for the listening party, that was a real treat being able to share it with the other fans in real time ❤️ Much HYPE! 🤗
Can't wait to overplay this as soon as the whole album is available 🥳😂
I don't think I can be drawn on a fave track. Go well 🫶

Iris Andrade The track listing is superbly arranged and the music? Ppure gorgeousness and as Ivy as Ivy can get… Say You Will is my release favorite and the Midnight Hour intro is my new favorite with Fragile People giving me comfort when I’m feeling fragile… my first listen was not the listening party as I had planned but it became a walk with before sunset rainbows and the moon… what a loveletter to Adam and gift to the Tendrils/Ivy Viners and new listeners to the band.

Gregor Buchkremer What a wonderful return. The whole album feels so light, melancholic and strong at the same time. Indie Pop Perfection. Thank you, Ivy. Favorite track: The Great Unknown.

it’s a fact we’re made of glass to err is human it’s what we keep on doing it gets so dark when you need a light on the wind is blowing it keeps me going not long ago i was invincible life was for the taking but now i’m breaking we know we’re all fragile people tear like paper can’t fight our nature try to be strong try to hold on we know we’re all fragile people always did it for the thrill be whatever way we will the more i go the more i’m still searching for a way to feel always did it for the thrill walking up a distant hill swallowing the toughest pill why do good things always kill? i drink too much i think too much it’s all in my head asleep in your bed now i begin to save my skin if we live forever would we be together? not long ago i was invincible at least i thought so be gone tomorrow we know we’re all fragile people tear like paper can’t fight our nature try to be strong try to hold on we know we’re all fragile people always did it for the thrill be whatever way we will the more i go the more i’m still searching for a way to feel always did it for the thrill walking up a distant hill swallowing the toughest pill why do good things always kill? since i was born since i could crawl since i could walk since i could run i’d do it for the thrill i’d do it for the thrill i know i always will i do it for the thrill i do it for i do it for i do it for the thrill….

Mystery Girl 03:27
well she spends her days in a dreamworld waiting for someone just to knock on her door and she’s always been such a sweet girl doesn’t know now what she’s looking for she’s so naive only hears what she wants to believe there’s so much you don’t know guess she’s just a mystery girl da da da da da da da da… well she always gets with the wrong guys now she’s with someone only cares for themself and she waits at home in the parlor looks out the window for something else she’s so naive twenty years but she’s still just a teen there’s so much you don’t know guess she’s just a mystery girl da da da da da da da da…

from the moment i rise to the moment i sleep it feels strange to be here without you i wish i could go back to the way that it was but it’s not in the cards for us two from the day that we met to the day that you left it felt right to be here next to you i wish i could forget just how good that it was cause the memories break me in two i’m falling i’m falling feels like gravity’s calling i loved you i loved you you’re gone no traces of you all the innocent days when we all used to play it feels strange when they all start to fade i wish i could have known it would all go away still i wouldn’t know what to say now we’re taking a ride and i’ve left it behind it feels wrong to be here without you i wish i could forget just how good that it was every thought of you breaks me in two i’m falling i’m falling feels like gravity’s calling i loved you i loved you you’re gone no traces of you

sometimes i just embrace the unknown sometimes i feel the weight of the world sometimes i find myself at your door sometimes i find my face on your floor some days i just forget what i know lose my way and i can’t get home some days are bright and some days are black find my way here to stay in the great unknown, the great unknown don’t look back now find a way out… (the dark seas rise) sometimes i get caught up in the noise all is wrong i can’t get no joy sometimes i’m up and sometimes i’m down on my way here to stay in the great unknown, the great unknown don’t look back now find a way out… (the dark seas rise) i feel the time is over now i know i’m never gonna see you again

Say You Will 03:19
watch you fade away now i’m right here on my own dance with the unknown it’s a shame what we become til we’re nothing yeah what i’m feeling i don’t know but it’s turning me to stone in the shade of your ego i was nothing yeah guess i better start again say you will say you won’t guess i better try again say you will or say you won’t watch you drift away now i’m out here on my own flirt with the unknown feel the shame of being something and nothing at all what is real well i don’t know but it chills me to the bone it’s the same as years ago i was nothing yeah guess i better start again say you will say you won’t guess i better try again say you will say you won’t and i watch you watch you fade away i’m still nothing just like yesterday

Heartbreak 03:34
heartbreak yeah that’s how it goes i don’t believe in love mistakes you think by now i’d know i’ve got to let you go heartbreak no such thing as fate i’d rather be alone don’t say you haven’t met the one i don’t believe in love no me and you it’s no use we break in two that’s what we do love is just a fiction we made up something just to label fading lust love is an affliction we made up something just to name for all our fading lust heartbreak again and again it’s a song that never ends mistakes you’d think by now we know you’re gonna let me down heartbreak it’s all just really fake i’m better on my own you say i haven’t met the one i don’t believe in love no me and you it’s no use we break in two that’s what we do no me and you it’s no use we break in two that’s what we do love is just a fiction we made up something just to label fading lust love is an affliction we made up something just to name for all our fading lust

Lose It All 04:48
say what you want don’t let go you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone say what you feel every day you might not get the chance later on cause i really don’t know anymore and i really don’t know it all life is all around you but you feel so numb say what you want come and go you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone standing in my leather jacket the party’s going on yeah watch it now backing up into a corner feeling like a ghost that’s hanging round take me to another feeling head is spinning leaves me reeling on and on guess i’ll never kick the habit cause you know i got to have it til i lose it all… say what you want yes or no you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone take what you need give it back you might not get the chance later on cause i really don’t see a better way and i really don’t know why life is all around you but you feel so numb say what you want yes or no you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone standing in my leather jacket the party’s going on yeah watch it now backing up into a corner feeling like a ghost that’s hanging round take me to another feeling head is spinning leaves me reeling on and on guess i’ll never kick the habit cause you know i got to have it til i lose it all…

we don’t know where the years go can’t get back on with the show all I know is i’m all alone can’t look back there’s no going home long ago we were flying down the road feels like dying even though i keep trying wasting time we can’t fight it you and i are a waste of time the life we made had to say goodbye don’t be sad when you hit the light give it up we’re just wasting time i don’t know where the years go disappear through my window all i know is we’re all alone one way there’s no going home long ago we were high and every road was just winding even though i keep trying test of time we can’t fight it you and i are a waste of time the life we made had to say goodbye don’t be sad when you hit the light give it up we’re just wasting time we’ve been walking through the weeds for way too long can’t get what I need and we’ve been out of harmony for way too long it brought me to my knees duotone….. duotone…..

here’s to the days long gone from that summer you are still here in the halls of my mind leaves blow away off the roof left to wander i’ll still be here all alone til the end of time, the end of time so now we can talk say the truth now there’s nothing to lose i hate, hate that it’s true there’s no goodbye when i still love you it rains the more that we try and drowns our world but i still love you how long’s it take til we mend what’s the point of it? cry for the years all the years we shared memories fade and i sit here wondering will you know how much, how much i cared, how much i cared? so now we can talk say the truth now there’s nothing to lose i hate, hate that it’s true there’s no goodbye when i still love you it rains the more that we try and drowns our world but i still love you
