Elvis Depressedly

Elvis Depressedly is an indie band signed to Run for Cover Records. I'm sure most of you haven't heard them before (they're nowhere near a mainstream act) but I've recently been swept away by their music, after holding off on listening to them. Below are a few links to some of my favorite songs by them.

i love elvis depressedly! they're getting popular though

I listened to half of an EP of their's, taking in more than one song, I wanted to keep whatever my mind picked up on as free range.  And this is what came:


ALWAYS

If you love me for always
as I think I love you,

Come and crawl up inside you
then let me come in too.

I will plant you a garden
then I'll try to find me.

I will tell you my secrets
if you'll please tell me yours,

But if you have no secrets,
then we'll make up some more.

Tell me who's this stranger
that's pulling up your weeds,

And dead-heading your blossoms,
do you think that it's me?

But the weather's changing,
the flowers all have died.

I am dead deep inside you,
come and bury me new,

If you love me for always,
as I think I love you.

Shivers, white, snowy senses

Our love is like an old guitar
tuning is what is needed.
So tired that cannot wake up
years written on a chain
antennas of insecurity
words that led to chaos
voice that by night resounds.

Inside a broken embrace
you, I and the senses
just before we met
nature had no sense.
Now that we are both in pain
it’s this time that we envy
unwilling and hidden
you, I and the feelings
shivers, white, snowy senses.



**Inspired from the song "inside you". I didn't know the band and I like it a lot. My favs "Inside you", "Wastes of time", "Crazier with you"

Oh! Thanks to the poets who voted my poem! I feel honored!
Jadey! That was between you and me (so weird, lol), so I wanna share this with you. I had forgotten of this comp actually..

Thank you John for this comp and for this band!

Till next time,
