About this song

One foot planted firmly in minimal early punk ala Ramones, yet somehow boast big pop songs. Literal in their approach, “Boyfriend” can be summed up with the lyric “I don’t wanna be your boyfriend”, It’s not rocket science and that is the point. “The Soaks want to make intense, simple punk music without all the macho/aggressive stuff that sometimes comes with it,” says frontman Jordan Clark,

“These songs are straight forward and fun on the surface, yet address very complicated experiences in my life ranging from divorce and depression, to dependency and self medication.”

Modern Machines – Breathe (feat. 8 Graves)

Upbeat electronic track that converges with a bit of indie pop. Chorus and vocals rock the indie electro sound.

Lyrics:
Things will never be the same.
I’ve been falling like the rain for you.
Anytime that you’re away,
Feels like I could suffocate. I do.

Whenever you’re with me
The feeling’s so strong.
I’m losing touch with reality
In your arms.
And I truly believe
That you are the one,
And it’s crystal clear to me.
I know you’re all I need.
Every time I breathe.

You’re the only thing I’ve found
That keeps me from being down. It’s true.
And when you are not around
Get the feeling that I’ll drown. I do.

Daniel Feels – Parachute

Daniel’s vocals really have the spotlight and shine bright on this new cut. Fans of Miike Snow should give this a spin.

LYRICS:
Shining like a diamond ring
I crept closer to the light
Somewhere I heard whispering
Like two lovers in a fight

So I take my time in the atmosphere
Wait for the curtains all to drop
It’s a long way down, I feel the fear
But I’m too close now to stop

There’s something in the way you move
That makes me fall back in again
I’m opening the parachute
Your gravity, it pulls me in

Move so cautiously
Cause I know my tender heart
but this feels just like a dream
or will it all just fall apart

You reel me in like a ball of string
Knock me around with your little paws
And I want it more than anything
as you sink in your claws

There’s something in the way you move
That makes me fall back in again
I’m opening the parachute
Your gravity, it pulls me in
