Old Boat 03:36
Give me the nightfall Give me some stars Give me an outburst That makes me wanna fall Would I see better if the lights go out Will it be shattered if I drown this sound It all comes together in this small town Iā€™ll be on that mountain Where I can see it all Look over the water Feel Iā€™m being tall And fear is not the future Just living while it lasts So Iā€™ll see you from that mountain Think over all thatā€™s passed So I walk to that damaged boat See if it still floats It must have been here a very long time All the things she must know Would it be better if I patched it up And fix it while I can Or would it keep leaking when the storm sets in Guess Iā€™ll be on that mountain Where I can see it all Look over the water Feel Iā€™m being tall And fear is not the future Just living while it lasts So Iā€™ll see you from that mountain Think over all thatā€™s passed Is that boat really broken Or is that boat just really old Is that boat really broken Or is that boat just really old Is that boat really broken Or is that boat just really old Is that boat really broken Or is that boat just really old Iā€™ll be on that mountain Iā€™ll be on that mountain

Underwater 03:00
The skyline, pink in all itā€™s glory Cold wind strokes softly on my face The rocks, how I love to climb them All invincible in itā€™s place Maybe I gave you something I wanted Maybe we fooled around Youā€™re still in my head on a daily basis now that we both moved on You mightā€™ve got no trouble sleeping While Iā€™m finding it hard to breathe Thinking why Iā€™d be needing To force myself to think straight I hide underwater I hide what I need most And when it getā€™s harder Pretend itā€™s not by choice So now Iā€™m standing on the island Where I know I do belong Feeling the distance is not gonna change that weā€™ve got something going on I hide underwater I hide what I need most And when it getā€™s harder Pretend itā€™s not mine I hide underwater And when it getā€™s harder

Another One 03:31
The skyline, pink in all itā€™s glory Cold wind strokes softly on my face The rocks, how I love to climb them All invincible in itā€™s place Maybe I gave you something I wanted Maybe we fooled around Youā€™re still in my head on a daily basis now that we both moved on You mightā€™ve got no trouble sleeping While Iā€™m finding it hard to breathe Thinking why Iā€™d be needing To force myself to think straight I hide underwater I hide what I need most And when it getā€™s harder Pretend itā€™s not by choice So now Iā€™m standing on the island Where I know I do belong Feeling the distance is not gonna change that weā€™ve got something going on I hide underwater I hide what I need most And when it getā€™s harder Pretend itā€™s not mine I hide underwater And when it getā€™s harder

Out Of Town 03:12
I wasnā€™t sure if the answers would help me understand it ā€ØI wasnā€™t fearless I just depended on the one who saved me ā€Øā€ØCrossing the border without a sound ā€ØPassing the sirens on my way out of town Nobody thought of a way of saying that theyā€™re sorryā€Ø Everyone kept running after each other to find some glory Crossing the border without a soundā€Ø Passing the crowd on my way out of town ā€ØThey bring the worst out of you so it seemsā€Ø While you insisted in saving the dream ā€Ø The story that you want to tell turns into dustā€Ø You focused on that someone that you thought you could trust

about

The new single 'Out Of Town' is the last piece of the EP 'Islands'. For most songs I start out with the piano but now I was practicing my bass ''skills'' and recorded it. And then it became a laid back indie-pop song with a chill hookline as a chorus.
While the other songs on the EP are about finding myself in a quarterlife crisis, this new single is about how people behave in times of crisis and how they just want to follow a leader out of despair.
