WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:
“Lighthouse was written about a past relationship, I think the content was pretty straightforward but what I really wanted to do with that song was experiment a little more with sound. I was influenced by Bon Iver & Future, and recorded 5-6 melodies on certain sections to create lush, wall-of-sound harmonies organically without any plugins. The sounds I chose when producing the song were also very "wet" sounding, replicating raindrops, streams of water, and other similar sounds in nature.
Crows was written during a very personal time in 2015, and expresses feelings created by seeing my family struggle and trying to find out their (and subsequently my own) place within the world. The lyrics are also straightforward, talking about their divorce, hardworking efforts for little return, a sense of disillusionment with the routine of life, and environmental concerns.
The video for both of these songs is focused on the visual feeling of a day or life gone by - the morning, a time for growing; the afternoon, a time for fun; and the evening, a time for reflection. The actual story told by the video is very loose and vague, the focus in the video here was a lot more on the feeling.” — Chow Mane
