You Can Tell Me Nothing That I Should

by Benedict October

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A very personal story in which the artist deals with childhood trauma, periods of depression. In ten songs the artist gives a little peek in his past and deals with childhood traumas, signs of depression and does not shy away from a broken heart. Expect some wide arranged dark piano songs enriched with a lot of horns and strings to bring some extra moodiness to it. Guitars, violins, bells and other spheric soundscape synths bring these songs to life, each with a unique character.

Put the flowers in a vase ‘Cause they remind me of your face Time goes slowly I’ve followed all the rules that you break forget about that one mistake it’s mad boredom ‘s lonely It’s time to shoot the one armed man set the clock and stop pretending hope won’t kill ya Can I be your young man’s affair? Have you ruled out other options Are you sure? I don’t care Until we’ve finished our wine I believe in your lies Until we’ve finished our wine I believe in your lies Heaven is a place for those who pray nothing’s more real than yesterday there’s no truth Singled out the rule it’ll change switching lanes fester than highways here’s your youth Until we’ve finished our wine I believe in your lies Until we’ve finished our wine I believe in your lies Until we’ve finished our wine I believe in your lies Until we’ve finished our wine I believe in your lies You can tell me nothing that I should I can tell you everything I would You’d believe anything I say I will do it any other way There’s nowhere else for me to stay You believe - in Everything it’s gone There’s no such place

See You Soon 02:27
You can see me now I can hear my name So this must be true. While she hears me out In this small cafe I'm thinking how I met you. Mmmm Mmmm I get lost and I’m amazed How everything's the same How can I win in a losing game. A thin line in the sea is moving closer to me Even when I swim the other way. I’ll see you soon, see you soon I’ll see you soon, see you soon I’ll see you soon, see you soon I’ll see you soon, see you soon A thin line in the sea Is moving closer to me Even when I swim the other way.

Truth ends where you take off. Do you remember Sunday morning drinking in the park? Where we got our scars. When we were young. We’re still kids Don’t do what’s asked. Diamonds on the table we could never get caught What we thought When we were young. This is the last time I will call. One night Changed All of us. I saw my parents sleeping naked with their fingers half crossed. Knew what they lost When we were young. This is the last time I will call. This is the last time I will call. Aaaaaah This is the last time I will call I try to tell you something nice So I know Who you are Where you are When we were young This is the last time I will call I try to tell you something twice To make sure Who we are Where we are When we were young This’ the last time I will call I try to tell you something nice So I know Where you are While we’re young. This’ the last time I will call I try to tell you something twice To make sure Who we are Where we are While we’re young This’ the last time I will call

I guess now is a good time to get it right Like, why we are shouting Tonight ‘s not a night for lies I feel left alone while you sit on your own I’m trying to understand it Your words can’t hurt me no more There’s only one thing that we always do While you're blaming me I’m blaming you There’s only one thing that gets me on my feet Cause I’ve got something that you still don’t see I go my way When you look the other I go my way When you look the other There comes a time that we will regret (And) what we never said By that time it might be too late, so why wait Now here’s the joke that you always told Try to understand it This is why we always wait, now it’s too late There’s only one thing that we always do While you're blaming me, I’m blaming you There’s only one thing that gets me on my feet Cause- I’ve got something that you just don’t see I go my way When you look the other I go my way When you look the other I go my way When you look the other I go my way When you look the other
