You have been my best friend since we were girls
Far removed from young men in our own weird world
And yeah we've had shit times
We’ve even come to fist fights
That's how I know you're lying
When you say it's alright
Don't tell me you are safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think of green lane smokes
And Bluenotes and our crazy families
And I’m back at school in your old room
Tracy Chapman on repeat
I know we've had shit times
Oh we’ve even come to fist fights
That's how I know you're lying
When you say it's alright
Don't tell me you are safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think you are faking how far you are from
Breaking down
I wish you’d let the walls down
Darling let yourself be found
Darling let the walls down
When all the lights are red
Darling let yourself down
Love you can confide in me
But instead you tell me you are
Safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think you are faking how far you are
from breaking down.
Don't tell me you are safe now
I know you too well not to work it out
I think you are faking how far you are from
Breaking Down

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
