Didn't really want to feel that way Ask me on the Elevator Tell you what it's all about I didn't want to feel that way How could anyone want to feel that way? I didn't want to feel that way The mistakes didn't make me And I'm born again I know I shouldn't worry No I shouldn't fret Boundless in transition And no life experience Wasting my life on What I thought was worth is Such a losing game I played I had to forfeit And maybe when we're strangers We can have an elevator chat In 20 years when I know I can handle that But until then I'll feel the way I feel And you'll just have to deal Don't walk away I want you to know me Oh I know It's true Didn't want to feel that way Ask me on the Elevator Tell you what it's all about I didn't want to feel that way How could anyone want to feel this way?

Everyday’s a race Trying to find your place Choosing just the right typeface Take your pills and off you go Sobriety’s too slow If you went and changed Lifted, rearranged Got all of your numbers up Would that be enough for you? Would that be your truth? Was your younger self so wise? That you let them decide? You had to be the Queen of Hearts? Or would you rather know That you can just let go? No need to be the Queen of Hearts You could be okay You could be okay (Do you even want to be?) You could be okay You could be okay You could be okay Was your younger self so wise? That you let them decide? You had to be the Queen of Hearts? Or would you rather know That you can just let go? No need to be the Queen of Hearts

Why do we pass the time? I see it in the signs Wondering if I can Fall apart in jest Wondering if I can Float against the tide You don’t believe in signs You’ve memorized my lines Begging you to side With me every time What have I become? What have I implied? Holding on the line It’s awake It’s alive In my soul If I fell Would you carry me home?

I close my eyes It falls apart An opening To sound the alarms A hazy island In my eyelid Close enough to Enter the mind Behind my eyes The smell of fire The look of fog My heart is racing Into the dark Can't see ahead Can't fall behind Behind my eyes Take my hand And pull me down I'm flying high And losing ground Stole a glance and doing time If you're the star light I give my heart to the night How do I reach you Still holding on? Lust Craving us Dust And razor bones Just Sharp enough To cut The mandible Curve my neck up to the new sky

about

The five-track EP Elevator Chat is a collection of shimmering songs, oozing with emotion. With the desire to create a soundtrack for a multitude of feelings - from heart-tugging and longing, to dreams fulfilled and dreams failed, Sea Glass writes music as if they were movie scenes.

Every track debuts a featured vocalist, allowing each artist to weave their own individual style into the EP, embellishing it with diversity and a bright palette of sounds. Starting off with “New Romans” featuring Blue Canopy, whose echoing, ethereal vocals add a pensive but reassuring tone to the animated, jangly guitar melodies and playful synths. Sea Glass shares, “The music has a serious, almost systematic tone that became the soundtrack to living in a dystopian movie.” “New Romans” is an exceptional and intriguing single, unlike anything you’ve heard before.

Then there is title-track “Elevator Chat”, a song which touches on the feeling of needing to get something off your chest, yet knowing you won’t be able to do yourself justice in verbalizing it. He shares, “It’s the feeling of wanting to get into something with someone, but having not enough time or patience to fully get there.” Featuring vocals from Benét, Sea Glass continues “The addition of Benét’s vocals helped expand on that theme, with their interpretation of not wanting to get into it with someone because your mind’s been made up. Their lyrics, to me, offer the perfect counterpoint to mine, highlighting the other side of a conversation.”

“Queen Of Hearts” featuring Sucreblooms adds further dimension to the EP, with its kaleidoscopic melodies emitting a hypnotic atmosphere. “Razor Bones” radiates with plucky guitar melodies and minimalist arrangements as Misty Boyce’s delicate vocals drift atop. Bringing the EP to a closure is the heavenly track “Asleep.” Dripping Honey sings about longing for a loved one and not being able to shake that feeling of desire.

Sea Glass has been praised by the likes of Indie Shuffle, WFUV, Record of the Day, Variance Magazine, The Wild Honey Pie, and Glide Magazine, among others.
