about

How did that happen? You've failed for a friend and you've got no clue how to tell them. So instead of being a grown-up and admitting your feelings you let the emotion fester inside.

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

You’ll never find out
I’ve hated everyone you’ve dated
You’ll never find out
I bury them all in my sleep
You’ll never find out
That I build cities for our children
You’ll never find out
I have vertigo on repeat

Cause I go on and on and on and on
desperately, staying silent
Terrified that you may find out

You'll never find out,
I give up everything to see you
You'll never find out,
I’m losing friends to this lost cause
You’ll never find out
I dream of John Hughes declarations
You’ll never find out
But 16 Candles makes me pause

Cause I go on and on and on and on
desperately, staying silent
Terrified that you may find out

But I can’t, I can’t let go of
I can’t let go of how I am feeling
And I can’t, I can't let go of you

Oh so what do I do?
What if I tell you?
Will that make this all end?
Could we carry on as before?

Yet I go on and on and on and on
desperately, staying silent
Terrified that you may find out

Oh, I can’t, I can’t let go of
I can’t let go of how I am feeling
But I can, I can let go of you

I conjured a feeling
Wished it to being
Imagined a life
Only to find
We only exist in other love songs

So shatter illusions
Scatter the fragments
Shake me awake
Stop wasting my time
We only exist in other love songs
