Little Fish 02:58
I am a little bit, I am a little bit denied, what am I for? I am a little bit, but not the very least bit surprised for what's in store Don't you take me at your word, don't you tell You gonna take me at my word, what do you spell? In the throat, in the road, in the car, I can sell You gonna take me at my word my autumn belle You gonna take me down the road Umbrellas pop open, abandon your focus Take me at my word, I will be here I'll be here to guide you, I will light the flame I'll let it burn up, burn it inside you We're going to escape Inside my house I have my own rules Behind the glass I am the super-fool I'm marking the exits, I'm marking the exits I'm twisting the bars and the monkey goes Far off into the summer shows Well what does he know? What does he know? I'm a little fish in the mix of this I'm a little fish on your party list I'm a little fish in the mix of this Guess you couldn't get A list? I'm the destructive lips that you want to kiss And I'm a little fish in the mix of this It's never the time to define what is mine In the shadows I roam until the day you come home Gonna let it burn

Take the long way home And drive all night Take the long way home Until the street lamps fade Tell me who's alive In a world so foreign Tell me who will shine In this sick new order Tell me once, tell me to hide again I told you twice, that you were not my friend I can fix, I can stitch the ends “You'll break apart, when I'm missed” And I, I, Will not be found Down the block with all the cool kids in town No I'll be in the back doing my own stuff “Well you can always count on me, when things get a little rough” Tell me once, tell me to hide again I told you twice, that you were not my friend I can fix, I can stitch the ends “You'll break apart, when I'm missed” We're breaking the sun, your story works well Not easy to share, tell me Are we having fun? “I'm having all kinds With my white lies” Tell me once, tell me to hide again I told you twice, that you were not my friend I can fix, I can stitch the ends “You'll break apart, when I'm missed I'll be your bliss inside”

about

This is a collection of songs I wrote in 2010 and 2011 that comprise my favorite demos from the 50/90 song challenge (fiftyninety.fawmers.org). This demo album is the groundwork for my later studio album 'The Mourning Dream'. These recordings are a bit rough around the edges, and I love them for that.

"Peter takes the infectiousness and melodic sensibilities of pop music, blends it with the chiming coolness of indie and then delivers it with just enough rock swagger to create a sound that feels uniquely his own." - entropymag.org/peter-arvidson-a-new-wilderness/ ... more
