about

The title track from Empathy Test's second EP (the follow-up to their popular, self-released "Losing Touch EP" and their first for Brooklyn-based Stars & Letters Records), is a slow burning slice of feel-good 80s- infuenced synthpop in the same vein as College & Electric Youth's "Real Hero". Reminiscent of Kirrilee from Empathy Test's first EP, the track has a similar emotional intensity, underpinned by a driving bass line and minimal beats. The track premièred on award-winning UK music and fashion website, Clash, who called it "gorgeous, sumptuous future pop which arrives dripping in synthesised sounds, there are nods towards Depeche Mode here alongside 21st century producers such as Purity Ring".

lyrics

Flicking through yesterday’s news
Slipping my neck into the noose again
Well it fits so well.
Doesn't know where her loyalties lie -
Then again neither do I.
Going out getting drunk on gin
Waking up in her arms but then I
Never knew it would be so hard
Never knew I would be a part of this
Bitterness.

I try to fall awake but I still sleep
Wait for a week but I am weak
And resolutions fail
And once again I'm throwing stones
At your window.
Throwing stones
At your window.

Stand in the payphone count to ten
But you won’t call me back again.
Sends a little shiver right through me
When I hear you running down to me.
But I know you’ll only turn away
‘Cause you've got nothing left to say to me
Well; hear me out.

I try to fall awake but I still sleep
Wait for a week but I am weak.
And resolutions fail
And once again I'm throwing stones
At your window.
Throwing stones
At your window.
Throwing stones
At your window.
Throwing Stones
At your window.
