about

Let's kick things off as we mean to go on shall we, by acknowledging that you're going to mess this relationship up.

Title track to the debut album by Gentle, Ghosts.

Channelling Teenage Fanclub, Waxahatchee, Wilco and Taylor Swift, the album describes the many ways we muck love up, carelessly or callously, during the bloom and bust of a relationship. Dusk-drenched melodies and bittersweet lyrics combine with occasionally country-tinged power-pop for an album perfectly suited for the golden hours of summer.

lyrics

I’ll give you all of me at the start
At least the all with which I can part
I’ll take all of you in return
Then break with dawn, a crash and burn

I’ll tell you of my insecurities
Say you’re the balm that my soul needs
Planting excuses ready to bloom
And I know it will be spring soon

This is how I’ll break your heart

My words are like honey, sweet on the lips
Creating a mess wherever they stick
My kisses like wine, seductive at first
But the regret? You’ll never feel worse

Oh I’m so complicated
Misunderstood,
To you I’ll be dedicated
For the first month or two
I’m so full of shit, if you can’t smell it
It’s only because I’ve perfected
how I’ll break your heart

Solo

So sharpen the knives
sharpen the spoons
sharpen the pillows
Cause I’ll be there soon
And I’ll blame you for all of it
If you let me break your heart
