For Now from Dissolve by Strayline.

Sometime in early March I was working out of state and sent Tyler an instagram reel of Sam Cohen who posts under the account name "glitterpartyyy"

The reel I sent Tyler was Sam's popular "2 mic drum sound 60s saturated" reel.

I asked Tyler if he could recreated something similar with one of his old kits.

I made a quick track with my laptop in a hotel room and that ended up being what this song turned into. Props to Tyler for making my recordings work as they were done inside a noisy hotel room with a cheap interface and Sennheiser e835 mic.

This song was originally going to be an experimental single or part of a small EP using the old vintage drum sound but it ended up finding its way onto the next main strayline release.

Lyrics

Waves crash inside my head
Faint echoes, tangled head
Lost in the sky
I float but never fly
Whispers cold
I can't hear you
Trapped by the noise
Pulling me
Eyes are closed
But I still see a ghost of who I used to be

Shimmering light
A fading sound
Spinning round and round
Then disappears

Shadows lost
But I'm still here

Shadows dance
Calling me
Chasing echoes and endless light
Follow me
Night to day
Nothings
It feels so right

Used to be
Shed the light
Hear the sound
Spinning round and round
Then disappear
Shadows lost
But I'm still here
