Lyrics:
They’re talking too fast and I’m not sure that I understand
how day after day, I wake up on the wrong planet again
I guess it’s alright, we all bury our heads in the sand,
perform and pretend, gotta work to earn a 10/10
Keep losing sleep, and counting sheep
The hooks I borrow from the verse
are haunting, see! They’re taunting me,
watching me drift out through a clockwork universe
Each 24 hours, a new day I must spend in my head
cause night after night, I turn in on the wrong planet again
I set my alarm, put on white noise and I go to bed
chameleon-style, but my dreams never blend all the way in
Keep losing sleep, and counting sheep
The hooks I borrow from the verse
are haunting, see! They’re taunting me,
watching me drift out through a clockwork universe
I’m thinking too fast and I’m not sure that I understand
how day after day, I wake up in the wrong system again
I guess I don’t mind, maybe I haven’t since Flowerland
Come back in a while, let me dial the right coordinates in

There's some good in this world

[@v.marcoq.1393]

This feels like remembering the taste of an ice cream flavor they don't make anymore.

[@yanrad]

the musicianship, the vibes, the colors, this makes me so happy 🥰

[@harbingerization]

How lucky are we to live in a world with Pearl and the Oysters. We don't deserve oysters, let alone a pearl.

[@jasonjmoreland]

Music that's up there with Komeda.. Stereolab, The Cardigans and Broadcast. I can't wait to hear what else they have in store for us.

[@summertime_blooz]

Check out bands Modular and Le Futur Pompiste if you haven't already.

[@Something9008]

You might like Eggstone & Melody's Echo Chamber.

[@user-qh5nm7di2r]

Yall are going to have your minds blown by the number of bands on GHOST BOX Records out of the uK. The Focus Group, Belbury Poly, The Advisory Circle, and more.
Look up these titles for Italian film composers that most of this references:
" Why Is This Amazing? - Italian Film Soundtracks of the 60's and 70's"
"Beyond Morricone: The World of Italian Film Scores"
"Giro Giro Tondo! A Primer on Italian Film Soundtracks"
And a bonus track: Loredana Bertè - In alto mare (Special Video)

[@cosmicdrone5270]

Don't forget Floraline, Cloudberry Jam, and Tahiti 80!!!

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

What a wonderful surprise.

[@forestc6014]

This is really amazing. It’s indie/alternative, but also satisfies my appetite for funk/jazz/fusion. Drums are slamming. Great work.

[@ORIGINALGAMINGGUY]

Wow I hope this means a new album is coming soon! Love the sound, great song!!

[@TrentHunsaker]

Talked to them 2 weeks ago at a show and can confirm. New album in the works!

[@sega123productions]

love the way this song makes me feel ☺

[@georgeseayiv]

Vibes for days!

[@chrishen3077]

I like it lots.

[@TravelsTTG]

Wow this is beautiful

[@feeltriprecords]

swamp funk

[@kitsebastian]

Beautiful!

[@noahwarnack1472]

this song discovery just caught me very wonderfully off-guard, this sound is incredible
the music video is fantastic, this music feels like it has brought into a warm inviting room

[@user-qh5nm7di2r]

Okay the chord progression at the start had me thinking this was a cover and I couldn't get it out of my mind. I think I landed on three songs it sorta makes "musical quotations" from, along the lines of leit/motif and reference, both in chord progression and rhythms employed:
James Taylor "Mexico'
Joni Mitchel "Big Yellow Taxi"
Paul Simon "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard"
There's a couple other hits of "quotation" in the chorus and bridge that I've heard directly out of citypop/j-fusion that are hard to place specifically, but they're there and I love them.
Love your work! Just sharing my thoughts, not playing 'gotcha'. Good times. ;)
Try a little more zany/disco like late-70's STRYX out of Italy and (Loredana Bertè - "In alto mare") with the wacky solos and a little more thrust in the hips.

[@smithjedediah]

The vocal melody is pretty much a straight lift from love and mercy by Brian Wilson, not that I’m bothered by that but that was the first thing I thought of, this is still a fantastic track though

[@raychangiii]

I believe most chord progressions are public domain. the chorus chord progression alone is used by a lot of artists.

[@vlev]

soo good

[@MSMiruam]

Amazing video and song 💖💖💖

[@johannesdalseg5893]

caught smiling

[@smithjedediah]

I think this is fantastic and right away the vocal melody reminded me of something, took me a minute to remember what it was and it’s “love and mercy” by Brian Wilson. Haven’t seen anyone else mentioned this yet, it’s practically a one-to-one match for the vocal melody, but it doesn’t detract from the song at all, this is truly fantastic, just thought it was worth mentioning. Anyway thanks, this is one of the best songs I’ve heard in awhile.
