about

‘The House Across the Street’ takes the warming indie pop format and boosts it to a bolder, more energetic level- using high gain, scratchy indie rock guitar and soaring, yet vulnerable, female vocals. Merging influences of Wolf Alice, Fontaines D.C and The 1975, the track aims to encapsulate the growing indie excitement for the next generation. Exploring the concept of social comparison, The House Across the Street asks whether your life is as fulfilling as your neighbours'....The track received generous support from radio stations (Amazing Radio, DKFM, In Your Ears) and blogs (Flare, Glamglare, AI Love Music) across the globe.

lyrics

The house across the street’s been playing your favourite song
I tried to dance but my feet won’t fake it
You sense something’s off
I’m bored, are you too?
Am I bored of you?

A stolen glance
An open arm
A disco ball
Lights a weathered porch
A tender touch
A crooked frame
Holds a washed out photo
Of a teenage flame

A corded phone
Left hanging low
The flashing glow
Of an answerphone
A life lived full
With tales so tall
I see it now
At curtain call

The house across the street’s been playing your favourite song
I tried to dance but my feet won’t fake it
You sense something’s off
I’m bored, are you too?
Am I bored of you?

You know, I haven’t slept in days
I reckon I should get that checked someday
Those window panes show all the things I’m not
“Sometimes it’s worse to stay than run”

The house across the street’s been playing your favourite song
I tried to dance but my feet won’t fake it
You sense something’s off
I’m bored, are you too?
Am I bored of you?

Of you
Of you
Of you
Aren’t you?
