Drown Me 03:52
I call and you will answer copied transmissions to relay recalling patterns of sound mirroring every word I say do you understand me? echoes repeating so softly growing louder with every breath drown me out in your reflections delayed replaying every step do you understand me? you call and I will answer imitation of sound in waves reverberations of you reflecting every word you say do I understand you? reverberations of you mirroring every word I say do you understand me? do I understand you?
2.
what’s in your head? I want to know so let me climb inside I’d love to see what the world looks like through your eyes the only thing I know for sure is 'nothing' I might be the only thing that’s real inside your head can I hear all your thoughts about me? and through your eyes will I see that you still love me? is this real? I think it might be all in my head the only thing I know for sure is nothing I might be the only thing that’s real if I could live inside your head for one day I would know exactly how you feel what is real? I think it might be all in your head
3.
In Between 04:18
“come back down” you said to me head in the clouds, paint a picture draw me in without a trace into focus, it’s all a blur I’m in heaven look for small signs for some proof of life I was here, with you if you’re dropping hints would I know for sure that I’ve left you? I’m in heaven we’re in heaven mixed signals separate living proof from a dying wish evidence without a clue truth be told, you won’t admit it I’m in heaven I’m in heaven we’re in heaven
4.
Time 03:38
down to the second first time around faults of perception will lock you down up-to-the minute measures of life just the illusion of passing time still waiting for an idle moment never to seize the day the past, the present and the future already underway the living hours will pass you by their hands tick away while your hands are tied caught the reflections of your changing life caught up in the reflection still days fixed, in time you can’t break free just an illusion of memory caught the reflections of your changing life caught up in the reflection
5.
Small Hours 03:46
early morning, waking hours hear you breathing, slow and steady I can tell you’re still asleep won’t come back until you’re ready the light of day dawning on you the sky opens up to me as birds sing your melody such a lovely face at rest eyes closed in a peaceful slumber apparitions, far away partly close, but still mostly gone as birds sing your melody the light of day dawning on you these small hours come into view morning sheds some light upon you just a story nothing was true waking up with heavy eyes bathed in the first light of your sunrise the sky opens up to me as birds sing your melody
6.
Tether 03:59
such a small thread holds you in place (don’t let it go) with the slightest pull you float away (so don’t let go) spools unravel wires mismatch keep it together this tiny cord (don't let it go) keeps you with me (so don’t let go) keep it together spools unravel wires mismatch path less travelled no strings attached you're at the end of your tether don't let go keep it together keep it together such a small thread (keep it together) holds you in place (keep it together)
7.
Observer 03:59
one outcome will display two possibilities your thought experiment tests my reality you don’t know what you’ve been missing unobserved dead and alive in a box of unresolved states off and on at the same time open up and show me my insecurity collapse me through decay and tell me what you see
8.
Wide Awake 03:41
still wide-awake and still daydreaming of the great stillness of the night fully aware, in new surroundings keep the time with a watchful eye (no signs of life) in your silent hours contemplating life a rhyme without a reason you won’t sleep tonight there is a slow, dull, roaring silence from somewhere deep inside your mind (no signs of life) In the dark you should travel light (no signs of life) no signs of life no signs of life still wide awake and still daydreaming keep timing a watchful eye (no signs of life)
9.
Holding 04:26
always connected somewhere oceans away swimming in the same waters we’ll separate under a parallel sun you’ve been detected out there always connected somewhere won’t let you go it’s better late than never same differences still holding us together this is the day you’ve been detected out there crossing your path the trail leads to familiar fields never a match under a separate covering fire under a different falling sky always connected somewhere
10.
Big Picture 03:57
I am a lonely fraction falling in a whole been driven to distraction well-kept, under control I’m just a small abstraction art imitating life adding up the subtractions divisions multiply there is a difference looking from afar it’s all a sum that’s larger than its parts the big picture is everything and you are a part of the canvas I am a deviation on your well-travelled road turn doubt to hesitation free-will with self-control The big picture is everything and you are a part of the canvas
11.
Mirrors 03:25
silver linings focused deep in your eyes through the mirror you reflect every light so far, so good close to perfect draw a line and you will blur it all barely skin-deep a precious metal under glass so far, so good close to perfect draw a line and you will blur it dots connecting hidden in view you’ll become me I’ll become you undivided you’re still the better half you’ll become me I’ll become you
12.
Last Light 04:16
shadows grow tall from shortening daylight slowly the sun will drop out of sight shades of you light my way as the horizon fades from blue to black of night I’m caught in the middle in the fiery glow of the last light shades of you light my way radiant colours, washing away replaced by the grayscale at the end of the day lost in the shadows, you found a way shades of you light my way as night falls you’re rising
13.
Ritual 05:03
there’s a pattern when leaves dance in the wind communicating a ritual of light swaying back and forth order pre-ordained feel the breath of life carry you away a grand design an aimless structuring interactions in an endless chain symmetry in fractal pattern abstract beauty formed at random autumn breath whispers in your ear (autumn breath whispers in your ear) there’s a signal a harmony in noise oscillating under the surface swaying back and forth order pre-ordained hear the breath of life carry you away a grand design an aimless structuring interactions of an endless chain autumn breath whispers in your ear (autumn breath whispers in your ear) “you are a part of everything” (you are a part of everything) short sequences that you can’t hear (short sequences that you can’t hear) connections forming everywhere (connecting forming everywhere)

about

Here are some little songs I wrote.
You might not want to sing them note for note.

Do not fret, be content.

Some nice things people have said about this album:

"full of vibrant life, coasting in hazy, fuzzy clouds woven by forlorn guitar riffs awash with thick swelling reverb and glinting high tones, stirred by stumbling drum beats, to sway through a deep sense of disconnection and feelings of abandonment" - White Light/White Heat shorturl.at/wK5zb
---
"Slowly demonstrate a mastery of atmosphere and mood, crafting an album that resonates long after it ends. North Shore is a testament to shoegaze and post-rock’s power to transform noise into beauty, and silence into something profoundly moving." - ThusBlog
