Some of us can always seem to find the time To live within our minds I could never ever really write these valentines Come what may, so they say Auf Wiedersehen I'll be alone when I go home Auf Wiedersehen For what it's worth I was in love A little bit of mystery, too much for me A little touch of misery, will set you free Somewhere in this town when trouble gets me down I will not wear a frown If passion was in session then I'd turn this ship around Come what may, so they say Auf Wiedersehen I'll be alone when I go home Auf Wiedersehen For what it's worth I was in love A little bit of mystery for me A little touch of misery for free I'll thank the heavens and the stars for shining bright My dreams of you will sail through endless open skies For all the lonely nights and distant dreary days I'll dream of you and all your lovely ways Auf Wiedersehen I'll be alone when I go home Auf Wiedersehen For what it's worth I was in love Auf Wiedersehen I'll be alone when I go home I'll be the same

Ms. Aligned 04:00
Life on a holiday Is all I ever ask for What's it mean anyway Such a chore Soon there'll come a day When my feelings run me over Hope that you can tell me why I just need to clarify When you smile I want to die Long vacations thrill my mind How did I get misaligned? Threw myself into the fray Think I'm surely done for I'll mess this up anyway But that's okay Soon there'll come a day When my feelings run me over Hope that you can tell me Why my heart's astray Then goes supernova Hope that you can tell me why I just need to clarify When you smile I want to die Annotations fill my lines How did I get misaligned? When you spin me up inside I comply To my doom I must apply Again

Sky stretched out into horizons oh-so blue And I'm feeling like my best days lie ahead with you Sun, sand, sea and so forth what a lovely view And I'm thinking there's no place I'd rather be with you Why aren't you excited? Drifting off into the kiddy pool Aren't you excited? Paid good money for the pleasure... Cruise Fleeting moments on a pleasure... Cruise Makin' memories on a pleasure cruise There's nobody here to tell us what to do And it's like a paradise we somehow fell into Swim on further till you somehow make it through And you come out feeling like you were just born anew Why aren't you excited? Drifting off into the kiddy pool Aren't you excited? Paid good money for the pleasure... Cruise Fleeting moments on a pleasure... Cruise Makin' memories on this pleasure... Cruisin' on into the sunset of our last calamity Don't you say those cruel words to me Cruisin' on into the sunset of our fraying sanity This holiday's not over I decree Cruise (Paid good money for this pleasure cruise) Cruise (Paid good money for this pleasure cruise) Paid good money for this pleasure... Paid good money for this pleasure cruise

In Seconds 04:10
In a heartbeat if you can Imagine time has gone nowhere (Just) so you know I've got a plan To commandeer this love affair In seconds, an impossibility Minutes, as we fill our time with Hours, turning into days and wasted lifetimes Just to leave it all behind As we fell to circumstance Immeasurable our life's romance A funny feeling says it all I'll dive headfirst into that wall In seconds, an impossibility Minutes, as we fill our time with Hours, turning into days and wasted lifetimes Just to leave it all behind

about

Navalgazing is Ferns' long-overdue third release in almost a decade.

The EP is informed by the sometimes futile desire to find fulfilment in life through the escapism of travel. Think of it as a "passport to heartbreak and holiday fatigue" - an idealised place in our minds where chiming guitars, dreamy synths and boy-girl harmonies evoke the buoyant highs and forlorn lows that accompany vacation endeavours.

Recorded before the global Covid-19 pandemic brought cross-border travel to a screeching halt, the record also now benefits from an unintentional sense of poignancy in view of a lost privilege some may have taken for granted.

We hope you find our new set of music to be equal parts beautiful, funny and sad.

Our first single, "Auf Wiedersehen" is also out now on YouTube and Spotify.
