about

Delicate Surrender is the third single from Long Distances’
upcoming EP, ‘How the Mighty Will Fall’.

The song draws its sonic influence from new wave, goth and post-punk music. A bouncy bass line and driving backbeat lay a steady foundation for chorus-soaked guitar motifs, juicy synths and contemplative vocals.

The track's themes are introspective. It ponders the inevitability of change and the endless cycle of life’s promises and disappointments; be it in relationships with others or with versions of one’s self.

lyrics

Delicate Surrender

I feel a silent thunder
Coming through and over you
Break down; spilling over
Falling through without reprove
Trippin' up on everything we're
Unravelling with the world
This strange hesitation
Can't speak when tongues are pulled

And all I hear is the sound
Of a distant memory
This delicate surrender
Is washing over me

A wicked blow it left you dry
Spilt the wine and soiled the sheet
Woke the boy and fed the beast
From who we were to where we've come
In that falling sun and rising tide
We held our feelings to the fire

Inside out, inside now
Leaving all the hurt aside
Searching for the other kind
Inside out, here and now
Burning all you left behind
Turning to another time

And all I hear is the sound
Of a distant memory
This delicate surrender
Comes washing over me

And here we are
You and I
Holding on
And here we are
You and I
