about

This is the first song written for the new record and the first song I brought to Ryan when we began demos for the album in Alpharetta. The barebones of it were written in Japan in 2014 following the tragic passing of Jake and Isaac Gee's father, Paul. I flew back from Japan and made a detour to the gulf coast of Florida to play music for the funeral and spend some time with the brothers Gee and their wonderful families. The lyrics are about that time. And the title of the album comes from those lyrics as well.

SEA CHANGE LYRICS

V1:
This life support breathes in funny, so take all the time you think you need
The doctor is in this morning, staving off Paul’s eternal sleep

V2:
Condolences follow quickly, making a home for awkward things
Flowers repeat I’m sorry, daisies in white pass me a drink

Chorus:
Seas change and the living room fights for us
Teetering off the edge of the pool deck stain, I guess I could stay

V3:
Well it’s out with the old man, darling. Your only begotten stares at me
Staring up like his daddy, tuned into blankets quietly

Chorus:
Seas change and the living room fights for us
Eventually all our efforts are proved in vain, I guess we could stay

Got a ticket to fall apart.
Got a ticket to make this strange.
Got a ticket to fall apart.
Here’s a chance to make this strange.

about

Easter Island Athens, Georgia

Formed by brothers Ethan and Asher Payne in 2010, Easter Island creates panoramic, post-rock inspired dream pop. Behind the wall of towering drums, glassy guitars, and the forceful tide of synthesizers, hide soft-spoken melodies, tender harmonies, and understated musings on the subtle, yet visceral moments in life. ... more
