    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)

    Modern Machines

    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.

    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.

    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
