Held me when my arms were numb
Said the things I could not say
Smiled at me when I played dumb
And shared your secrets anyway
Unlike me you knew about my true self
And unlike me you truly loved me whole
Looked out for me when I was blind
Never asked to even up
Though I knew you’re someone hard to find
I kept on waiting for more luck
You fed me with your thoughts and I still
Swallow every word while I
Pretend to have a better life without you
Pretend to have a better life
I knew where I belonged
The moment you were gone
And now I’m hanging on
To the shadows of your light
In silence now I realize
How much you broke so I could rise
But leaving me to let me go
Is worth a shit if I won’t grow
From ashes that are left behind
Ashes that are left behind
So I’ll try to have a better life without you

The eighth and final in a series of solo releases by Mariusz Duda (on all instruments and vocals), bringing the cycle full circle. He examines complex toxic relationships, rejects them, and finds peace, while retaining what good there was, through introspection and, ultimately forgiveness. There is plenty of forcefulness, but, as one might expect, the delicacy (and harp sounds) of Good Memories Don’t Want to Die, is my favourite track. Nickie Harte Kelly
Aussie cosmonauts teleport their art rock to the dancefloor, expanding their spaced-out sound with elements of disco and synthpop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 17, 2022
Bouncy, urgent, raucous indie rock, anthemic yet unpredictable; this Oxford, U.K. trio sounds defiantly full of life. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2020
Pretty avant-pop with simple instrumentation and gentle bite from New York's Garcon No.1 cleverly subverts the torch song. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2020
Discoverd this band back in 2009 with their initial release Identity. Been a fan ever since. They have been compared to Pink Floyd which is high praise but there is more to Airbag than that. An excellent release and a top release for the year 2024 lloydd
