Conversations

by the dove & the wolf

supported by

Joe Borreson The Dove & the Wolf write exceptionally good, dreamy, delicious modern folky rock songs, with these harmonies that are so damn heavenly, and this album is near perfect throughout! Being a visual designer do I think this cover image was a terrible choice for a debut (must've been an inside joke?) luckily we all don't judge a book by its cover, however : ) Get. It!!! Favorite track: growing apart.

mordsith Love the sound! Favorite track: television.

Track Name: queens: the further you dig into yourself
the further you see into the battle
he has got a heart so big
it must be hard, hard to handle

once again he’s leaving queens
but this time he’s going east
closer to where the sun rises
moving on to new phases

may the land of the golden lion
be kind to him and help him unwind
and the series of circle that is his life
turn into a peaceful line

once again he’s leaving queens
but this time he’s going east
closer to where the sun rises
moving on to new phases
to new phases,
to new faces,
to new stages.

and i trust that someday people will listen to what he had to say
and i trust that someday people will listen to what he had to say
Track Name: television: after that night stuck to the television
all we were left with was sadness and confusion
love and kindness is all we need now
i wish you’d picked another time
to shut the blinds

like a hedgehog, you roll into a ball
i am also your friend, seems like you forgot
this world has been such a dark place
i think of when i was yr light
and you were mine

do you know you're hurting me?

you're now the book on the highest shelf
the one i cannot seem to reach
thought i knew how to read you
that we spoke the same tongue
guess i was wrong

do you know you're hurting me?
Track Name: free around you: i wasn’t awaiting for anyone when you walked in
but you saw right through me, couldn’t stay away

i feel free, i feel free

on the very first night, it already felt so right
you needed no instruction, no explanation
an ocean of senses

i feel free around you, i feel free around you
i feel free around you (libre avec toi), i feel free around you (libre avec toi)
Track Name: keep it in: i’ve been spending too much time on my phone
looking at pictures of you
i just re-read our last conversation
it’s making me feel kinda close to you

i can’t wait to learn to know you
and in the meantime, i keep it in
and in my mind I think of you

a letter from you came in the mail, this morning
i read it twice, i’m about to read it again
i can sense the motion in your handwriting
i can tell you wrote it in the van

i can’t wait to learn to know you
and in the meantime, i keep it in
and in my mind I think of you

teach me how to love you
teach me how to love you

i can’t wait to learn to love you
and in the meantime, i keep it in
and in my mind I think of you
Track Name: growing apart: you’re caught up in you lies
i can see it in your eyes
so i gotta leave this city
to take care of my sanity

it’s not that i am giving up
but we’re falling apart
now i need to stand up
and fix my splintered heart

truth is within your grasp
this nightmare doesn’t have to last
the damage can be undone
it’s ok to walk into the unknown

it’s not that i am giving up
but we’re growing apart
now i need to stand up
Track Name: golden: i wanted to believe that we were golden
that our union was unbreakable
now i see my blood is filled w poison
do you think im forgivable?

i'm not sure how to fight my demons
but i know i must do it on my own
i've tried to come up with other reasons
but they are eating me to the bone
Track Name: orion: the morning sun is peaking through the blinds
you are still asleep
i cannot see clearly but i can read the map
of sleep marks on your back
with the tip of my fingers

even when we are apart
you are a part of everything around me
every part of you w every part of me
tout de toi, tout de moi

when the crickets sing into the night
if i close my eyes
i remember that time we got
lost in each others arms
dancing under my dearest constellation

even when we are apart
you are a part of everything around me
every part of you w every part of me

même quand nous sommes loin l’un de l’autre
je sais que nous somme toujours l’un avec l’autre
tout de toi, tout de moi
tout de toi, tout de moi
Track Name: silences: take a look at me
and tell me what you see
tell me what you want from me
cause this is killing me

i feel like a stranger
i feel like a ghost
i thought you were stronger
i don’t really know

don’t you leave me hanging
i can’t keep on, i can’t keep on waiting for you

your silence is too long
your motions are too slow
and if it all feels wrong
please just let me go

open up to me
and tell me what to be
just tell me what you want from me
do you want to be free?

don’t you leave me hanging
i can’t keep on, i can’t keep on waiting for you
Track Name: i want you to know: i used to be so eager to love
so eager to be loved
that i would fall

so let’s take it slow
but i want you to know
that i will go wherever you go

i used to give it all
i gave it all too fast
and sometimes i was wrong
but i carried on

so let’s take it slow
but i want you to know
that i will go wherever you go

i have learned my lesson
and i’ll learn it again
but then i look at your face
and i forget it all

so let’s take it slow
but i want you to know
that i will go wherever you go
Track Name: sleepwalking: my body keeps looking for you
i’m sleepwalking every night
i recall the things you promised me
and took back

i’ve become so used to the shape of my face
after i have cried
standing here in front of the mirror
no i can't calm down

i can’t follow
its time for you to make up your mind

tell me i am special

You made my June. I'm not really sure why I love your music so much, but it's just really inspiring that you turned all of these things that happened to you into these jams and ballads. You're brave to process your life and ideas through music and put them out here. I guess many musicians are, but for some reason I didn't really think of it that way until I heard this album. break.light
