lyrics

Last of all the soldier
To leave her kind behind
Empty glasses become a cathedral
When you let the light in
Am I really going to let the darkness win again tonight

Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA

Baby there’s no room to try the new things
You never taught me how to hold em’ and when to fold the cards
I’m spinning a thousand plates in the air at the same time
Make me strong

Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA

How am I still standing
Do you just say the first thing that comes into your mind
You can’t save me
You can’t save me
No one can save me from myself
But you’re right I gotta leave some things behind
Babe you gotta leave this here

Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA
Let me sleep
I’ll be back on top in a week
I wrote a script and titled it
Beverly and Barbara Do LA

Mama you gotta leave some things behind
Girl you gotta leave some things behind
Baby you gotta leave some things behind

about

The Sometimes Island Los Angeles, California

If Daft Punk and Fleet Foxes had a lovechild, this band would disappoint its parents and be sent to boarding school for sounding like The 1975.

This is exactly what tropical indie-pop band The Sometimes Island are made of. Synth-heavy pop laced with introspective lyrics and bright, colorful sounds, it’s music you can both sway your hips to and appreciate both physically and intellectually.
