about

"Fade Away" was written by vocalist/ keyboardist Jessie Rae and vocalist/guitarist Carlos Brown. Jessie conveys moments of loss and longing for what once was. Her wistful yet hypnotic singing holds a distorted mirror to the listener, while being supported by a dream like wave in the background, as the guitars speak to one another. The drums and bass keep the song moving with them making it feel like you haven't moved an inch, as if the scenery moved but you stayed in place. The song ends with almost a cry for the faded to finally disappear.

lyrics

I need to clear my mind and make some room to think
I’m afraid I’ve closed the space around my heart
I should maybe take a day, tomorrow call in sick
And walk around the dying town
The space might calm me down

You disappear for weeks at a time
Then suddenly you’re in memories that I never knew we made
Time heals all pain, a waiting game
And all at once, I'm not okay, screaming let it fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

How do you keep the ones you love in your life happy?
I’m afraid that it won’t ever feel the same
I’ve heard before I think too much, and I think I agree
I don’t know why I think about
My life when you're with me

You disappear for weeks at a time
Then suddenly you’re in memories I never knew we made
Time heals all pain, a waiting game
And all at once, I'm not okay, screaming let it fade away
Fade away
Fade away
