when you were young, you ruined everything. what else could you do, born and raised in central valley? you fought for yourself and marked your territory until it all changed when you were captured and carried away. finally, you were safe but nothing felt the same and they could've put you down if we hadn't picked you up. as you closed your eyes on your last life only then did we realize that we had never really been alone.
2.	When You Finally Come Up for Air 05:26	lyrics	buy track
when you left to get the rest of your things by the end of the day, well, it turned into two days and ended up being the whole entire weekend but at that point, what's even the difference? when your mom messaged me from your phone to say you'd been in the er since last night and not able to talk at this time, well, it came as a shock alright especially when there was no indication of whether you were gonna be fine. you are your mother's daughter; i know you don't do well underwater. when you finally come up for air, i'll be there. when you called, it'd been couple of weeks and you said i'm ok but something in you had changed because when you came home, it was almost midnight; you just turned in and off went the light. still, i felt your pain pulsing through those thin walls and i wished i could help. you were pretty raw no doubt, staying up all night talking to your dad and crying your eyes out. you are your father's daughter, i know you don't want to be a bother. when you finally come up for air, i'll be there. then when i woke up the next morning, i saw your open door and scattered belongings and knew at once you were gone. but i didn't know if i'd done something wrong until i put it together through writing this song. you do what you must to survive but at least you could've said goodbye.

Damper recommends:

everything is alive
by Slowdive

Thom's pick: Slowdive feels just as current and engaging as ever on this one, maybe just as timeless as Souvlaki. From start to finish, it's an absolute soundbath: warm, lush and soaked in melancholy. Damper

House & Trance
by Crime In Stereo

Chris' pick: This was a huge return for Crime in Stereo after a 13 year break. Glitchy soundscaping, catchy vocal hooks and attention to detail make this album a fully cohesive listening experience. Damper

Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night: Part 1
by Night Verses

Phil's pick: I've had this album on nonstop since it came out. Nick DePirro's guitar is truly incredible and Aric Improta makes excellent use of space as he weaves together layers of rhythm on drums. Damper
