New Single: Paros (released July 27-12)

We released this song to coincide with our fantastic show at Electric Owl last month.  Written with the warm water memories of the Greek island Paros in mind, this is a summer love song from beginning to end.

Thanks once again to the brilliant Robert Edmonds for his simple but effective artwork to accompany our song.  I think it's exactly the mood we were trying for!

lyrics

JP and Farrah
were two young lovers
who came together
one night on Paros

he was waiting tables
she waited for him
they spent their summer
just lying in the sun

when you fall in love
it doesn't matter where you are
'cause it might be enough
if the distance doesn't get too far

end of the summer
Farrah went to London
JP, he found his way up north
to Berlin

They made a promise
to see each other
but then reality and
home life set in.

when you fall in love
it doesn't matter where you are
'cause it might be enough
if the distance doesn't get too far

when you fall in love
it doesn't matter where you've been
'cause it might be enough
to help you live this life you're in

fourteen years later
he uploaded some photos
and tagged a couple
they were both in
he got a message
from a familiar stranger
she'd really love to
see him again

when you fall in love

(chorus reprise)

p.s. We are currently putting the final touches on our video for this song too.  It's been a busy summer but we're getting things done!
