about

A cinematic, atmospheric lament born straight from the heartfelt reminiscing of Singer- Songwriter Teo Saefkow’s experience of leaving his small home-town in northern BC, and influenced by the folky-atmospheric confessional style of artists like Lucy Dacus and Sufjan Stevens, Scalawag’s newest single creates a solid soundscape out of subtle synth, acoustic guitar and double bass, then fills the track with nostalgic, heartbreaking lyrics.

lyrics

I look 'round the table
My family's all here
In this town full of people
Who visit once a year

So split down the middle
You cut and I choose
But whatever I do
We both seem to lose

But nobody leaves
And nobody stays
We'll be here forever
Minus a day

I sing in the shower
To let it all out
I know you can hear me
There's no need to shout

I count to one-hundred
It's as high as I can go
And the washer helps heal me
By washing out
The words that you throw

'Cause like it or not
We all have those days
Where we hurt those we love
And need to part ways

But nobody leaves
And nobody stays
We'll be here forever
Without the words we should say

'Cause the blood that connects us
Is only so thick
The rest of it's our job
To make sure that it sticks
