Camilla 02:57
Verse Assemble the shields, love is in the air Divorcees for miles stretched out on the sand She married me at 23 a mere misguided formality She found a love that makes defeat an impossibility Chorus I thought I knew what love was til Camila came along, swept my wife up into her arms, left me here all alone Verse She wore an elaborate disguise that would keep the church ladies hushed Mistaken for damaged goods until Camilla gazed upon her She said with divine conviction, you can see what you want to see But what one is today may not be true tomorrow, oh no Chorus I thought I knew what love was til Camila came along, swept my wife up into her arms, left me here all alone I thought I knew what love was until Camila came along, a lesson I should have learned so long ago, oh no

Verse We make love like aging nerds to an old arcade we wait for our chance to play, we move in like clumsy balloons filtering through Through love I learned what not to do, what not say, what not to feel, how to conceal At my most obscene intuition remains to be seen, Chorus I don't wanna be in love no more, I don't wanna be responsible for anyone else's untimely spiral, I don't want one unheld tongue, I don't wanna be inseparable, I don't wanna be under a thumb, I don't wanna be in love Verse Against my own revisionist wishes I fell again and again in love with an idea and wavering attention, We let the dull days loom, woke up as the adults in the room Bound by united contradictions and idioms of distress, filthy whispers, guilty stares, My heart and mind lay divided until one day you lean over and say I don't wanna be in love no more…...

about

For Valentine's Day we're releasing a double-single called Aging Nerds. The title track is about a person officially giving up on love, a theme I think we can all relate to at one time or another in our lives. Aging Nerds is sung by the ultra talented, Teri Quinn. Teri is an acclaimed singer-songwriter associated with bands like Monta at Odds and True Lions.

Camilla is an upbeat tune about a husband who finally learns what love truly means when his wife leaves him for another woman.

We hope this weird little Hallmark holiday is filled with love and/or at least a mild amount of mysterious, human interaction.

about

Lee Walter Redding Kansas City, Missouri

Raised on 60s rock, steeped in 90s Britpop ennui, and guided by contemporary neo-soul, Lee Walter Redding weaves dry humor into vibrant sonic textures that sway from wistful to chaotic. Think 2010s Nick Lowe fronting The Velvet Underground. On warped vinyl. ... more
