i lied
Liner Notes
#indie #rnb #alternative #rock
@bigmood: happy with how this collab turned out! The lyrics are about how the internet makes monsters of us all, Hanley sent me this gorgeous lydian-esque track and the result is some kinda mishmash of rnb and 2012 indie haha
Lyrics
i lied i don’t like the shape of your eyes when you look with loathing in your heart it’s so palpable your face is torn apart
why
do I keep
engaging the same kind of guy?
you’re pulling my leg
mutual distruction
is seconds away
i shout at the mirror
and season my face
and I
i lied
i lied i don’t like the shape of your eyes when you look with loathing in your heart it’s so palpable your face is torn apart
speaking of that a beautiful day the light is heavy a fisticuff taste mutual distruction is seconds away i cry at the mirror and season my face
and I I lost the plot a long time ago
(hope it’s enough, sway, give it some sway,
say it’s enough sway, gimme some sway
I hold on to what I know
say it’s enough sway, gimme some sway
hope it’s enough, sway, give it some sway,
give my best love a fisticuff taste mutual distruction is seconds away i cry at the mirror and season my face

This is gorgeous. What a dream team the two of you are. How are you both so talented? I loved it even before the crazy beat ear candy stuff came in. Absolutely beautiful work.
love the guitar arpeggio driving the song and the sinuous melodies weaving and wrapping themselves around it and then the harmonies kick in and the instrumentation and the beat and it's just too good. excellent!
Yeah, seriously. Sometimes you hear a tune on fawm that is totally seamless and perfectly formed and this is that song. Actually gave me shivers, no lie.
Ooo guys this is mega !! How on earth do you get such an amazing spacious guitar plucking sound , and ooo those vocals are so gorgeous . A truly fab collab guys . Let’s have more 🤪🤗
Whoa! This is absolutely amazing! “A fisticuff taste” - what a unique and cool lyric. I want to listen to this again and again!
Oh come off it, you two. Give it UP. This is bloody brilliant. Feels like you've put months or work into it, not a few days. Legends, both of you.
D! Lectable! If this one ain’t radio ready then I don’t wanna listen to the radio no more!
cool! such cool lyrics to such an interesting beat. i enjoyed the overall sound and the harmonies were fantastic. well done.
The gradual build (and then release) in the arrangement is masterful. Particularly love all the lofi stuff that comes in on the second ‘I lied’ section. And the swooshy riser things (v technical description, well done me). Then you throw over the flawless @bigmood vocals and you’ve got yourself a very winning collab. “A fisticuff taste” is a brilliant little phrase. Whacked this out of the park, top work both!
