lyrics
Verse 1:
An uncommon beauty graced this space
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
Her lips were moving but she said nothing to my face
Left to battle with this haste
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
The dreams I dreamt would count for something
Chorus:
Yeah
My shadow trails near you
All the time
I try to beseech you
In my mind
A star-glazed heaven
No earthbound whims could tear this down
Verse 2:
In uncharted regions of my brain
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
A face reflecting some new meaning
In this glare
Still I stumble yet again
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
Simple truths don't bear repeating
Chorus:
Yeah
My shadow trails near you
All the time
I try to beseech you
In my mind
A star-glazed heaven
Bridge:
All the time
Oh my, oh my
It's you I can't deny
Just try, just try
Believe this sincere lie
An uncommon beauty graced this space
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
Her lips were moving but she said nothing to my face
Left to battle with this haste
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
The dreams I dreamt would count for something
Chorus:
Yeah
My shadow trails near you
All the time
I try to beseech you
In my mind
A star-glazed heaven
No earthbound whims could tear this down
Verse 2:
In uncharted regions of my brain
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
A face reflecting some new meaning
In this glare
Still I stumble yet again
(O-o-oh O-o-oh)
Simple truths don't bear repeating
Chorus:
Yeah
My shadow trails near you
All the time
I try to beseech you
In my mind
A star-glazed heaven
Bridge:
All the time
Oh my, oh my
It's you I can't deny
Just try, just try
Believe this sincere lie

Yesterday is a Distant Dream
by OJ LawAn all-in-one-man-band in the most exemplary sense. Imagine the production chops of Dave Fridmann with the songwriting and vocal mettle of Prince-meets-Buddy Holly-meets-Brian Wilson.

Our favourite new act of the year. Superb song-writing. Exceedingly charming and lovely to a fault. Very excited to see where they go from here.

This time she has drums & bass, and all the better for it. Lo-fi bedroom pop with a couple of nice instrumentals.
