about
In keeping with the intended vinyl listening experience for a digital format, 'C Side Volume 4 - Drowning Silver - Side 2' acts digitally as a vinyl or tape recording would behave on your favourite old school player.
Side 2 Track Listing:
4. Song For Us
What do you do when the greatest love of your life falls apart in front of your eyes and every effort to keep it together appears to fail? You can see in your heart of hearts the beginning, when it was seemed perfect, and all you want, desperately, is to return to that time? Well maybe, just maybe, if we break each other's hearts enough, we might break through and fall back to the beginning. That's what 'Song For Us' is about. An upbeat, brittle track written in 2010, it was performed briefly with Smash Universal until the group split.
5. Wings
'Wings' is an acoustic track dealing with relationship breakdown. A bedroom track about the painful emotions and occasional denial associated with realising a relationship has come to its end, 'Wings' was written in 2011 and released online in 2012.
6. Klaatu
Inspired by the end of the world and the teardrop beauty of the human spirit, Klaatu was penned in 2009. Untitled for a time, the song underwent multiple name changes until it was eventually named after a character in the film 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'. Turned down by Flowers For Lily, the song was released online in 2011.
7. Anything and Anyone
If self-deprecation and poor self-esteem manifest in a relationship, they sometimes appear as an attempt to escape, expressed through self-destructive statements. Underneath however, is a desperate plea for the other person to remain, to see through it all and understand; to be there in the morning. Anything and Anyone touches on the difficult choices we have to make when romantically entangled with a beautifully difficult self-hater. Written in 2008, the song was offered to Flowers For Lily and Love Hate Rebellion respectively but never made it onstage.

4. SONG FOR US
Do you remember we were young
So highly strung
Songs that were sung
When the stars were shining bright
Saying goodnight
Always a goodnight
Did I hold you just like now
And say I love you
I'll always love you
Now you say we've fallen down
Our love is over
It'll never be over
I just want to break your heart
I just want to break my heart
I just want to break your heart
I just want to break my heart
So we can go
So we can go
So we can go
So we can go back
So you tell me love is gone
It's cold and you cry
Tell me an old lie
Oh it's always just like you
To say it's over
It'll never be over
I just want to break your heart
I just want to break my heart
I just want to break your heart
I just want to break my heart
So we can go
So we can go
So we can go
So we can go back
5. WINGS
Love love love
Why are you out here on your own
I was already on my way
Love love love
Tell me who and what you've done
All I ever asked was honesty
I look into your eyes
I stare inside your face
And I know you'll break my heart
I know what you will say
There was a moment where I thought you were an angel
There was a moment where I thought you were with me
For a minute there it seemed you weren't a stranger
But now all I want to do every minute is spread my wings
Darling darling honey pie
Won't you quit this path you're on
I can give you almost anything
Oh sugar lover razor burn
Can't you kill me kinder
Can't you hold me like you promised that day
I look into your eyes
I stare inside your face
And I know you'll break my heart
I know what you will say
There was a moment where I thought you were an angel
There was a moment where I thought you were with me
For a minute there it seemed you weren't a stranger
But now all I want to do every minute is spread my wings
Oh darling don't you tell me
This ain't ecstasy
Oh baby come on give me
Something real
There was a moment where I thought you were an angel
There was a moment where I thought you were with me
For a minute there it seemed you weren't a stranger
But now all I want to do every minute is spread my wings
6. KLAATU
My love
Come down from your high place
Tomorrow
Won't come again my friend
No sun
So hold your hands up to the dark
Show them how you mean more than you are
If your story's almost over
Take my hands in yours and go
Make it seem like it's not really over
If a kiss will last forever
Our home
Is going away
This sorrow
Well heaven knows the end is here
No sun
So hold a candle to the dark
Show the world that you mean more than you are
And if your story's almost over
Take my hand in yours and go
Make it seem like it's not really over
As if our love could last forever
In my heart
My heart
I can't see the end
I can't see the end
Cause we'll be here for forever
Hold your hands up to the stars
Show them how we mean more than we are
If our story's almost over
Take my hands in yours and go
Make it seem like it will never be over
Because our love will last forever
In my heart
In my heart
7. ANYTHING AND ANYONE
Don't take me out and don't take me home
I'm no good without nor with anyone at all
I'm sure to let you down I'm sure to break your heart
For I am here in doubt of everyone
Sure I see the light shining on your face
And no I can't deny that it's anything but grace
But here is why I won't and here I cannot stay
Pure and devout is someone I will never be
Wake up to you and no, I'll be there
Wake up to you and no, I'll be there
Tell me that your wrong is anywhere but right
Let me see the wound, the scar behind your eyes
Hold me in your arms break on down and cry
I'll be your broken bones and love you one more time
Wake up to you and know, that I'll be there
Wake up to you and know, that I'll be there
