Your eyes No lies True highs Your love Blue skies Rip tides Two times Your love As we lift off the wind goes to catch us And we send our good love down ley-lines We got courage and strength they can’t match us We’re better together remind When you fall on back in time See your mind knows what to do When you find out where it’s at You only want to catch your breath Holding up their arms It’s incredible People blazing body’s shaking whole earth quaking stone fox favourite Holding up their arms It’s incredible When you fall on back in time See your mind knows what to do When you find out where it’s at You only want to catch your breath It’s true levity It’s a friend in me It’s the reason why you try to understand Holding up their arms It’s incredible People blazing body’s shaking whole earth quaking stone fox favourite When you open your heart to the promise And the wings inside you will fly Cuz you never go back just go forward Cuz nothing can stop the good times Catch your breath When you fall on back in time See your mind knows what to do When you find out where it’s at You only want to catch your breath

Walkin’ slowly On a street view Primary colours arresting me Yeah Stalkin’ lowly On a catwalk Cameras rolling When I met you Talkin’ about blue tears and eyes Talkin’ found dreams and lights Talking about high designs Interface with delight We’re askin’ a question in time Standin’ straight and rolling down down down Fly another way now Revive what’s left to burn on Right Fly another way now Revive what’s left to burn on Subway station On a street view Silent auras caressing me Thoughts unholy On the asphalt Chaos furthers ecstasy Talkin’ about blue tears and eyes Talkin’ found dreams and lights Talking about high designs Interface with delight We’re askin’ a question in time Standin’ straight and rolling down down down My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us My friend You saved us Fly another way now Revive what’s left to burn on Right Fly another way now Revive what’s left to burn on Fly another way now Revive what’s left to burn on Right Fly another way now Revive what’s left to burn on

Missing You 03:27

Three days with the flu Eighth month back from June Too much left to do An escape for blood Forget and wake up See great neck in bloom Takin’ my hands And walkin’ through Takin’ a chance and seein’ it Takin’ my hand Uncurl into you Trying to stay alive And it’s so wrong Cause Girl I’ve been missin’ you Girl I’ve been missin’ you ooh An’ five times I’ve made magical faces with you For the metal Call it inspired Must have taken turns in surprise For so little We can capsize Faster than the rains of July Takin’ my hands And walkin’ through Takin’ a chance and seein’ it Takin’ my hand Uncurl into you Trying to stay alive And it’s so wrong Cause Girl I’ve been missin’ you Girl I’ve been missin’ you ooh An’ five times I’ve made magical faces with you Green green green Is the colour of my true loves eyes Blue blue blue Is the sound of tears When she cries Red red red It’s the feeling of my heart tonight Black black black Is something that I hold inside Cause Girl I’ve been missin’ you Girl I’ve been missin’ you ooh An’ five times I’ve made magical faces with you

You gotta prepare for this dance You gotta be able to stand You gotta be ready for this one To find the spice in the sand To take your mind in your hand The sun is rising on this one You gotta be there to defend But you don’t have to pretend You gotta be open for this one You caress me I was open I was always open to this world Without me Without me You gotta be there for your friends My ghost is holding your hand You gotta be there for this one Got a message to send You gotta live out for the land You gotta be heavy to lift up Fall in between the two strands Colour is reaching my hands I thought I’d be ready for this one You caress me I was open I was always open to this world Without me Without me Without me Without me Don’t shield your kids Touching the thin Stay in the air Stay in the air Laugh until you’re gold Take my hand Get up high Stare you know Trade my lense Box of sand Run Without me Without me Without me Without me

Lately I've been wondering How did you get so tall? When did time go faster? When will we be bold? Darling we'll go backwards We are all ecstatic We will all carry on And then we'll be so strong Remember all the passion Remember all the magic Was I there? Was I there? Was I really there, yeah? Was I there? Was I there? Was I really there, yeah? A power we created A wonderful disaster Pages made of acid The fable of a dancer Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Facing all our actions Like a film not tragic Fading forms in capture Making worlds in rapture We are all true masters We are all long casters We are all the golden ones We feel more than anyone Was I there? Was I there? Was I really there, yeah? Was I there? Was I there? Was I really there, yeah? Everybody’s dancing Summertime oh yeah Everybody’s happy Bend your mind who cares Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love Race in to my heart Your love Open eye chasing to the light Your love

about

A collaboration between Australian musicians Nick Littlemore (PNAU, Empire of the Sun) and Alister Wright (Cloud Control), Vlossom symphonize elements of pop and psych-rock and electronic music into something strangely multisensory—a body of work possessed of its own distinct texture and temperature and colour and perfume, euphoric and often trance-inducing yet undeniably transformative.

Vlossom's debut EP, 'My Friend' represents the start of what’s become a huge part of our lives, both in actual work but moreover in a greater understanding and greater reward living through nature and sacred practices,” explains Littlemore. “We hope to bring back from the distantly close dimensions some force of joy and love, like flowers opening over and over again, like the first breaths of spring, to the clearest azure summer day and into the early autumn warmth.”

In dreaming up the songs on their debut EP, Vlossom drew inspiration from brilliantly disparate sources: the soundtrack to the original Blade Runner, neo-expressionist painter Peter Max, Miles Davis’s late-’70s output, Riane Eisler’s cultural anthropology text The Chalice and The Blade. As they shaped their endless fascinations into their first batch of material, Littlemore and Wright embraced a joyfully unchecked boldness. “The reason we write so many songs so quickly is that we’re always just going towards the songs—saying yes, moving forward, trusting in the moment that we’re sharing, melting into the experience,” notes Wright.

In each new piece that Vlossom create, that energy manifests as a benevolent effervescence, one that ultimately leaves the listener with a renewed sense of wonder. “If we can impart anything to people, I hope it’s that feeling of losing yourself in a moment, stepping outside of yourself in the best imaginable way,” says Littlemore. “In a world that’s increasingly hard to navigate and understand, I think it’s so important to have those moments of levity and beauty and positivity, with the hope that maybe some of that feeling might carry on into the rest of your life.”
