I like to talk way to much about myself about my problems You’re always there listening But I don’t know anything about you So can I take A look inside your pretty mind, see whats behind I want to get I want to see I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to know everything about you These not so secure securities Start to breathe Shen your around me Come a little closer Don’t you leave You pull me in I’m addicted to your mystery I didn’t feel these bruises Even my bluest Hid them from everyone until you I want to get I want to see I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to know everything about you These things of you I never knew Like all the things you like to do It’s everything about you I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to get I want to see I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to know everything about you Everything about you Everything about you I want to know everything about you These things of you I never knew Like all the things you like to do It’s everything about you I want to know everything about you Tell me your favourite colour Tell me about your brother Tell me about your first lover Tell me everything about you

You're the Worst Thing to Happen to Me Since 1993 03:10

We don’t work when we’re in public You think all my friends are rubbish I miss spending nights in with you Your friends they all laugh at me too We don’t speak without awkward pauses My friends you think are lost causes (yeah) I miss spending nights in with you My friends they were laughing with you What’s the worst thing that could happen We could fall out of love Worst things have happened to the both of us Each time we think that this might end We fall back to bed by the weekend If you’re stuck out on an island would you SOS me Why are all your messages reading like essays Lets put this conversation on ice in the esky I’m sick of you thinking that all my clothes look riskay Don’t speak when we’re in public I think all your friends are rubbish I miss the things we use to do Tell me you’re missing them too What’s the worst thing that could happen We could fall out of love Worst things have happened to the both of us Each time we think that this might end We fall back to bed by the weekend Worst things have happened to us So why don’t we fall out of love Worst things have happened to us So why don’t we fall out of love Hurts that we’ve both had enough How did we fall out of love Hurts that we’ve both had enough How did we fall out of love Would it be so bad If we fell out of contact Would it be so bad If we never went back

Don’t forget me from your memory I know 10,000 miles makes it blurry As much as we tried to be you couldn’t find yourself here Not next to me Please don’t say I miss you baby You know that this distance drains me I jump up at your number Sitting waiting for my wake up call My wake up call For my wake up call My wake up call As I go to sleep you’re making coffee To start your day new in NDG I feel as though it’s sinking in It’s snowing where you are but it’s cold next to me Please don’t say I miss you baby You know that this distance drains me I jump up at your number Sitting waiting for my wake up call Call call My wake up call Call call For my wake up call My wake up call My wake up call Please don’t say I miss you baby You know that this distance drains me I jump up at your number Sitting waiting for my wake up call Wake up call For my wake up call My wake up call My wake up call I’ll be sitting by the phone Waiting for my wake up call Call call My wake up call Call call For my wake up call My wake up call My wake up call

Wanted to tell you But couldn’t get it off my chest Lately I don’t feel like myself Feeling worse at best Been a blue Summer Colours washed away 9 - 5 feels like a lifetime Living Groundhog Day My mind is miles away But my heart will always stay In the driveway Tried to put my foot down But I crash into you I’m always driving myself to the edge But I haven’t event left Know what I’ve got to lose Know what I’ve got to leave behind Too hard to choose Feel I’m always losing time I’m 10 and 2 Stuck on the rear view My mind is miles away But my heart will always stay In the driveway My mind is miles away But my heart will always stay In the driveway My mind is miles away But my heart will always stay In the driveway My mind is miles away But my heart will always stay In the driveway In the driveway In the driveway

Early rise I do try sleeping but I’m itching Moving fast skid off crash Try not to slip slide I know the things I Things that I want Keep them all in this head Spawned from this bed Buzzing breeze Orange leaves won’t catch me here complaining You chime in Summer grin You make me feel like wow Don’t wanna call it, call it too soon But this years on a zoom heading over the moon Hey what’s up with you Can I sit and talk some shit with you Swolsen’s house Sunken couch, nobody here save me I’m away one last time my trippy holiday Smoke with strobes on Flashing lights Hit the floor face down but I’m high as a kite MTL what the Hell Never thought I’d be missing St Viateur bagel smells that shit's tres good like wow Bittersweet ending but I’ll see you soon Got a piece of me there That I don’t want to loose Hey what’s up with you Can I sit talk some shit with you Hey what’s up with you Can I sit talk some shit with you Won’t you tell me the things I already know Talking just to talk and not be solo Won’t you tell me the things I already know, yeah Talking just to talk and not be solo Talking just to talk and not be solo Talking just to talk Talking just to talk and not be solo Don’t want to be by myself Talking just to talk

about

Swolsen’s is one of the earliest songs we wrote for Mel Blue, but it deals with themes that are ongoing for Oscar and I. Lyrically, the track looks at the difficulty of being alone with your thoughts when there is unresolved tension in your life. Especially when the tension is pressing, seems unresolvable, or at least requires an action you don’t yet have the courage to take. Although at some point you’re going to have to make a call, for the time being you need people around you. Even if that’s just to fill the air with a conversation about nothing.

“Swolsen” is a nickname Oscar gave to our drummer, Jacob Siles, and the lyrics run like a stream of consciousness around a night at “Swolsen’s House”. Oscar had returned from overseas where he was with his girlfriend, and was now dealing with the fallout of being in a long distance situation once again. For better or worse, this party offered Oscar a chance to escape. A chance to talk “just to talk and not be solo”.

We spent many years rehearsing in Jacob’s room, so it is all the more special that recordings that were made in his house have made it onto the production of this song. Jack Janis, our keyboard player, recorded the Rhodes part during a rehearsal in Jacob’s bedroom. There’s also the main sample, which is heard in the intro, chorus, and bridge of the song. This is a voice memo of a bunch of our friends singing during a house party at Jacob’s.

Capturing a sense of time and place is such a foundational part of our music making, and the way this is so explicit in Swolsen’s helped us to realise that.
