about

This is a first full band release for me and signifies a shift to a more upbeat approach while maintaining the indie folk and singer-songwriting sensibilities.

I recorded the track with Rod Jones (Idlewild) at Post Electric Studio.

lyrics

In the search for validation
Do you ever look within yourself
You search for scraps of pleasure
Distract from what you really felt
Some seek material possession
When all they're needing is a heart of gold
They could be rich within their means

You cast a spell on me
Now I just daydream

You can turn to make believing
you're living in your own imagined world
Soon you'll be craving for some meaning
distract from what you really felt
Why are you so misleading
Take your gut instincts as a matter of fact
And take control and reawake

You cast a spell on me
Now I just daydream
Know that i was pretending that i was fine
Always rearranging the thoughts inside my mind

It's like someone shone a flashlight
Into a foggy midnight
I was a shadow in the dark
Now I'm slowly drifting back
You know you must surrender
But don't resist the pressure
It's only then you'll find
Find your peace of mind
It's like someone shone a flashlight
Into a foggy midnight
I was a shadow in the dark
Now I'm drifting back

You cast a spell on me
Now I just daydream
Know that i was pretending that i was fine
Always rearranging the thoughts inside my mind
