lyrics

i’ve seen strife wax and fade / I want to make you my cliche
severe and light, always wrong / my false shadow
can it be, I cannot see / I can’t recall my name
fate fakes our love / winks and waves back at us
I’ve been trying

so long, my eyes
I fear how it lulls you into the night
where I can’t keep you in sight

I’ve seen life stripped by age / will I make it all the way
the witless slip, the wily call / one can hope
for a date with the past one that moves fast
where I am / yet to be named
oh, taste it all / my Parsifal
don’t go hide

so long, my eyes
[my angel sleeps at dawn]
I fear how it lulls you into the night
[my angel takes me home]
where I can’t keep you in sight
[I know where I belong]

Little Seizures

This album saved my life countless times, so I think it's safe to say I wouldn't be here writing this if it wasn't for this album (and Jutty's music overall), which makes it even more special to me. I don't think I can find words to properly explain what makes me love this album so much, it's just impossible to put those feelings into words and, imo, that's good! Thank you for the music, Jutty, never stop doing what you do ♡ PS: Loved the bonus track!! Angela

I really love Dogs, but this EP has me in my feels. Every song a mood and the title track a meditation of nostalgia and longing. An everyday listen. Amazing and beautiful melodic poetry. artistdaniela

Honey Badger
by Dorcha

With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020

The Boy With Pearls For Eyes

I truly love listening to this album during the nights when I'm sad or I need some relaxing vibes after a hard day. The sound of the album reminds me a lot to Donkey Kong Country soundtrack somehow (and, for me, that's REALLY good because I think it's one of the best OST ever created for a videogame) with the synth and calm yet melancholic vibes. An absolute masterpiece, Jutty and Ryan!! Angela
