about
The joys of new love, the worries they'll see through your thinly veiled confidence, the slight concern that they're hiding something too.
From the debut album by Gentle, Ghosts, 'How I'll Break Your Heart'.
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
We can't love without hurting
We're too knobbly and ragged
Elbows and knees in our empathy
Grand proclamations unravel like bad jokes
Left naked on stage for all to see
So kiss me like a comedian
You'll laugh when I undress anyway
If we stop heckling our best intentions
Romance might have something to say
I’m your punchline, knock me out
And We may find what love's about
Kiss me, kiss me like a comedian
Broken hearts' bitter arrows
fired with vengeance
Always fly truer than gentler words
Banged teeth and bit lips
show better colours
Than re-touched faces
we present to the worldp
So kiss me like a chameleon
And show me how you disappear
If we keep losing our best intentions
This is sure to end in tears
I’m your disguise, lets hide out
Until we find what love's about
Kiss me like a chameleon
I knew love was tough
But fuck me, it's vicious
We're masochists to
To find this delicious
Oh go then, just one more bite
