chapter 1 02:08
January washed over me a sea of hope If I'd foreseen the tsunami I'd have built a boat Wipe the salt from my eyes, I don't want to drift with the tide For I can see the land ahead, the open roads If I can keep my head above, and stay afloat... I can get to the car and drive! There's no looking back this time I had a girl, I broke her heart The love remains 'cos she was the first one January threw at me a lightning bolt... There's nothing more than to love and be loved! She went away, she had to go I kept the flame 'cos she was the first one

surf's up 02:43
I sit and flick through the channels on tv my facebook page hasn't aged in hours it seems so if you're passing my way, I'll be down here all day we can always do something my mind lacks the vigour of drive it bothers me my arse has a habit of stopping me from leaving so if you're passing my way, I'll be down here all day we can always do something

holiday song 03:40
Dreams keep me from sleep, days stuck in repeat. I forget the last time that my mind switched off while in sobriety. I can't stop dreaming, so fuck it I'm leaving. It's tough I know, for I have found that lessons learnt the hardest way are more profound. So bid the flora goodbye. Leave no footprints behind. On our way to find a better state of heart and mind. Tell my family and friends that I'll be fine.

about

After completing the 'Loves young nightmare' ep, ACS wanted to create a much lighter batch of songs making use of simpler chord structures and stripped back instrumentation. The bulk of the ep was recorded by the end of spring 2012 ('surf's up' was recorded in a day) with a view to capturing a relaxed "summery" feel, envisaged by the notion of driving around the countryside of ACS's home town in his Morris Minor. However, having written the songs at the start of the year, lyrically the songs express his feelings of disillusionment that can occur at a certain point in a young persons life/career, coupled with the troubled optimism that can come with trying to start afresh.

PARENTAL WARNING: The song 'Holiday song' contains swearing within the lyrical content.
