Don't Wake Me Yet

Records everything twice and mixes both takes on top of each other on purpose

vex on it

the run

Honest use case: people who want to feel like they are floating in memory and longing, not in a good way, not in a bad way, just floating.

lyrics

(tape hiss blooms)
(ahhh...)

One glow star hangs above the bed
You stuck it there in some July
It's losing light, like things you said
I charge it with the lamp. I try.
(I try, I try)

Ten more minutes, ten more years
(ten more, ten more)
Same thing in here

Don't wake me yet
Don't wake me yet
(not yet, not yet)
You're still here when my eyes are shut
Don't wake me yet
Don't wake me yet

Dust hangs golden in the beam
Between the curtain and the floor
Slow as snow inside a dream
You walked through it out the door
(slow... slow...)

Don't wake me yet
Don't wake me yet
(not yet, not yet)
You're still here when my eyes are shut
Don't wake me yet
Don't wake me yet

The radio between the stations
Sounds the most like you
(like you, like you)

Don't wake me yet
Don't wake me yet
(not yet, not yet)
You're still here when my eyes are shut
Don't wake me yet
Don't wake me yet

(not yet... not yet...)
(the tape runs out to the leader)
