All My Light 03:50
I’ve been spending all my life Without you Before I knew anything I sought you I will give this all my light I have to if you take it slowly, love will find you I’ve been spending all my life without you Before I knew anything I got you I will give this all my life I got to if you take it slowly, love will find you So I want to understand without choosing sides Is cliche innate to wisdom? Well I’m content to open up

Abracadabra 04:09
You were right about everything That I wasn't Don't know why, but it takes time To be your lover Abracadabra Taking control In the throes of paradise On the sea of impossible You were right about all the things By the dozen Don't know why, but it takes time to realize it Abracadabra Taking control In the throes of paradise On the sea of impossible Abracadabra Taking control In the throes of paradise On the sea of impossible

Years Truly 03:44
People, people, it can really be that good spread the word, like a bird laughing in a tree Island to mountain, over the ocean Welcome them upon the carousel Holding on to the way i am am, am, am Don’t take it personal Evil, evil, I don't want you coming round Run the beat back again, this time slow it down Dream a dream of everyone you love Welcome them upon the carousel Holding on to the way i am am, am, am Don’t take it personal After all As I seem to recall Twenty eight years Took so long After while the mirror will go blind (holding on to the way that I am)

small town emotion digs into my soul gets me out of my head I think the city is taking its toll I am ready to go your mind is at ease and your heart is at peace Comfort come forth The colors of the sunset The whispers of the creek I'm tripping on the hillside Dripping from the springs If you’re missing out You can come with me (Into the diamond night Fold the moon inside the basement My cradle of insight) small town emotion digs into my soul gets me out of my head I think the city is making me grow I am ready to know your mind is at ease and your heart is at peace phasing back & forth The colors of the sunset The whispers of the creek I'm tripping on the hillside Dripping from the springs If you’re missing out You can come with me small town emotion digs into my soul gets me out of my head I think the city is taking its toll I am ready to go

Meltdown 05:37
Every look I beg to savor when my head is in a slump Turning my lows to highs tongue to tongue I’m graced with every flavor If I could fit your love in my palm I’d have If I could fit your love in my palm a meltdown If I could fit your love In my palm

Dunes 06:02
How many years make a lifetime Does it appear in a moment then leave like that Me and you Go up the dunes hand in hand with the sun and the ocean on the way down I thought to myself I don't believe in fate but i believe in you How many years make a lifetime Does it appear in a moment then leave like that Me and you Go up the dunes hand in hand with the sun and the ocean on the way down I thought to myself I don't believe in fate but i believe in you In you in you in you in you

about

Not due to a shortage of idiosyncratic naming options, our fourth album is self-titled because it feels most like “us." Each time we listened back to a take in the studio from the way it was performed and recorded, all the way through mastering, it sounded like the version of Faintlife we’ve always heard in our heads and on stage. We entered the studio in January 2020 when our playing was the smoothest it’s felt, having no idea that tangible moment-um would need to be savored during an extended absence of live shows. It makes the process of capturing sound feel even more sacred than it already is. Each session coincided with a full moon which somehow translates into this record - a moody, reflective and energetic labor of light & love.

about

Faintlife Chicago, Illinois

Faintlife's music fuses together like a spinning top floating between obstacles. The overwhelming feeling of fluid brain synapses and osmosis can be discovered with every breath and pause. The electric feeling you get from watching lightning on the back porch can not compare to damp air drifting through your cheap, creaky apartment. It's a secret laughter shared between grasps at reality. ... more
