about

Candy Town. We worked really hard on the arrangement for this tune. It took us months.

The bulk of it got figured out one afternoon in particular in Tilburg, Netherlands. We were staying with our booking agent Karen and her man Jappi. We drunk a lot of Jupiler beer.

Also we hung out in their backyard on a really nice early October afternoon and finally made some headway with this one. The vocal is delivered so easily by our man Jonas that the months of work might be hard to miss - so I thought I'd point it out.

lyrics

Open the flood gates
and don’t think twice
Don’t hesitate
when you choose
Going by feel through
the darkness maps get
made but they don't get used

In a moment of weakness
it comes out of nowhere
I’d like to surrender
I’m scared
Leaving the city don’t like where I’m living come kick down my door again

I need something better
to help me forget that
I ever walked your streets
Don’t care what I miss
you’d better forget me
I’m moving to candy town

I waited so long to
change my mind but
change never came
And I built my bad habits by sweeping things under the
rug now there's no one to blame

I need something better
to help me forget that
I ever walked your streets
Don’t care what I miss
you’d better forget me
I’m moving to candy town

I've packed my suitcase
And I’m almost gone but the
days keep crawling by
I can taste the sweetness
and feel the breeze
This is my final farewell

I need something better
to help me forget that I
ever walked your streets
Don’t care what I miss
you’d better forget me
I’m moving to
candy town
