about

“Soft Touch” is the debut single from the upcoming LP Rise and Fall With The Waves.

Reverb soaked guitar lines dance alongside swirling ambient textures while contemplative piano and seductive vocals resonate against a backdrop of hypnotic pulsating beats. Pensive lyrics balance a sense of hopeful longing against the threat of missed opportunities and past regrets.

lyrics

Hey Babe,
Can I Try Your Love This Time?
High Stakes, Palm Lined, Soft Touch, On Time
Hey Babe

And I Know Life Falls Around Us
And You Know I Don't Ask For Much
Time Slips Right Through Our Fingers
Run The Risk Of Falling Out Of Touch

Hey Babe,
Can I Try Your Love This Time?
High Stakes, Can't Change, Lost Love, Past Crimes
Hey Babe
Hey Babe
