lyrics

Through the evening's low lights
We try to imitate the clouds
Drop flowers out the window
Cast down by breezes to the crowds

And then the sky explodes

We've covered our heads with their towels
Spread glasses round the floor
Call the rain to come into our room
We'll decide tomorrow

And then the sky explodes

We're always being robbed
Of history by seconds
Something so small
Can drag us down
Drag us along

The neon glows in showers
We scorn our lights and steal away
The silent troops cry outside
Tonight we're safe
Why do we write this

Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021

Wonderfully clear and smooth - very well done. Only my favourite by a slim margin, though :P Okami Shiranui
