The Age
11:19

We’ve reached the age,
The age where thinking back
Seems like a good use of time.
I wonder what happened
And I’m glad I don’t know.
I’m glad I don’t know.
I live in hope that they survived,
Got themselves together;
Got themselves together enough
To live again.
I couldn’t bear to find out they didn’t.
The death and waste I’ve seen is nothing,
Not even a drop in the ocean.
Why would I care?
Why do I still?
We’ve reached the age.
Even if it seems that way,
Why would I care?
Why do I still?
Thinking back
Seems like a good use of time.
We’ve reached the age,
Thinking back.
Thinking back
Seems like a good use of time.

No Looking After

There’s no looking after you,
My life is apart,
My life is a part.
You say you want to know,
To know how I live.
The truth is that you don’t,
But we have nothing more to discuss.
My life is my fault
For as long as I live.
Trouble is paradise;
I’ve got nothing wrong with you,
Twenty-four broken hours a day.
Trouble is paradise.
It’s the worst I can do.
My hand is weakened;
I’m working
On borrowed time.
I’m working.
You’ve done nothing wrong, as yet:
You’re on a message,
Sent door-to-door.
Trouble is paradise
Wilder tellings occur elsewhere.
You stare blankly.
You’re on a message.
You get silence
While they get screams.
Trouble is paradise.
In the meantime,
I’m walking around
With targets on my back,
Empty-handed.
I’ve just sell on time
And let passion lead wherever it might.
It’s a crawling space,
Made in haste;
You get silence
While they get screams.
You’re on a message
And let passion lead
Wherever it might.
Trouble is paradise.

Spent Time
08:48

My life is over
But I’m still breathing.
It’s a waste of time.
Sleep now
And stay within your limits.
Whenever there was a loss,
I scored it.
I could tell the story,
I could tell you the story in full,
But you already know it better.
For just a short time,
I couldn’t miss
And that pleased you.
Whatever you may feel,
I never lost in life.
I just won at the wrong things,
The things that no-one else cares about.
I had a lot of love for life;
Time lost it for me
And now it’s over,
All opportunity is misplaced.
I’d like to see the good in what’s happening,
But there’s none to find.
I could tell the story.
It’s a waste of time.
It’s a waste of time.

AmberHours London, UK
A name from an old song. Old habits dying loudly.
Need you know more?
If the answer is 'yes', further exclusives are to be found across Spotify and SoundCloud.
AmberHours recommends:
This is one of those rare albums where everything fits together seamlessly. The performances are excellent; production is shiny without being showy and the songwriting is very, very strong.

This is my favourite Grouper opus. It's concise without being rushed. Also, the space between the musical notes and the vocal harmonies really is a breath of fresh air. Love it!

Psiconautica Vol.1/ 1xCD
by Jacky 0
Glitchy, spaced-out Italian pop that glistens with warm electronics. Lyrics add an expansive broody vibe.
