lyrics

long time sitting still
near the edge of the woods where the magic was real
no one could see you were wearing a crown
paint a picture for the sad clown

hey kid what do you know?
a cannibal sleeps in the bushes below
all of our plans were slipping away
I'd like to catch you on the next wave

start spinning fast into nowhere
leviathan's on the rise
the butterfly starts to cry
you can hear her
just hold on tight it won't be long dear
the medicine heals the pain
the jolly bird leaves the cage
now you've freed her
and the bright stars seem so near

catch me if you can
over the hills through a tunnel of grass
jump in the pond, swing from the rope
save your crickets for the sparrow

here stands a little man
there's a look in his eye that you can't understand
what can you do, you can't even move?
your body floats outside the bedroom

about

The Soft Hills Los Angeles, California

LA-based project The Soft Hills create a visceral take on soft-psych indie rock, calling to mind the hypnotic melancholy of the Red House Painters as well as contemporaries like Grizzly Bear or Radiohead.

Songwriter Garrett Hobba started the project in Seattle in 2007. The band, which involves a rotating door of friends and musicians, has toured several times through the US and Europe.
