About this album

I can't believe I spent 3 years recording this album (very inconsistently!).

It's been the strangest time - this was originally going to be an album about daydreaming and feeling alone while stuck in my house during lockdown, but as time progressed I learnt more about myself and started to actually understand these feelings. While themes of daydreaming are still ever present throughout, I eventually realised quite late into the process that I'm actually just singing about autism, ADHD, and gender dysphoria. That's right, I've got the full wombo combo, and maybe I'll speak about it more one day in the future.

Tracks 8, 9, and 10 are more lighthearted fun, and have much less to do with the overarching theme, but they're songs I'm still really proud of and would love for you to hear. Fun fact, back in 2018 on a livestream I once said I'd eventually make a proper song about cats, and here we finally are!


All lyrics, instruments, vocals, production by TomboFry (now moonfloof).

I had some help and inspiration with the lyrics on tracks 8-11, from someone who goes by Papaya. He didn't want any credit but he's a wonderful person and I couldn't just not!

Lyrics

Falling from what feels like a great height
Despite my clinging on I continue to keep falling
Stranded on a desert island
With no one to see or hear it feels so appalling

Oooh
Forever feeling lost out at sea
Oooh
Washing over every memory

It's all I can see
Free me from my dreams

With open eyes
I'm letting the light in
Gathering thoughts and feelings
Seeking out adventure

Oooh
Once forever lost out at sea
Oooh
Now's the time to make new memories

It's all I can see
Free me from my dreams
Stuck in between
Real life is nothing like it seems

It's all I can see
Free me from my dreams
Stuck in between
Real life is nothing like it seems
Real life is nothing like it seems
Real life is nothing like it seems
