Come Home, Please 06:03
lyrics
buy track
Come home, even though The way there might never show Close your eyes, come home It’s waiting where the ‘think’ turns to ‘know’ Come home, even while You have no reason to smile Reach out hands, come home You’ll find it where sea turns to foam Where is you, then? I can’t hear your breath whizz I want to know, I need to see There’s no easy, but at least a bit of ease I’m begging you, come home, please Come home, even if You are far, and float adrift Fly high, walk the road You’ll realize sometimes that’s all Where is you, then? I can’t hear your breath whizz I want to know, I need to see There’s no easy, but at least a bit of ease I’m begging you, come home, please Where is you, then? I can’t hear your breath whizz I want to know, I need to see There’s no easy, but at least a bit of ease I’m begging you, come home, please I’m begging you, come home, please

The Apple Orchard Hidden in the Pie 04:42
lyrics

Do you remember the place we slept under the trees? Do you remember the way we went on, picking these Invisible mushrooms for that full-on winter lie? Can you still taste the old apple orchard hidden in the pie? Do you ever wander to those ruins we sang on at night? Do you hear me cry aloud, on and on about The lost, the found, the left that I'm supposed to keep? Can you still taste death when plunged deep into your sleep? And even if I don't, I do, And even if I don't, I do, And even if I don't, I do, I did, I do And even if I don't, I do, And even if I don't, I do, And even if I don't, I do, I did, I do And even if you don't, I do, And even if you don't, I do, And even if you don't, I do I did, I do Do you remember the place we slept under the trees? Do you remember the way we went on picking these Invisible mushrooms for that full-on winter lie? Can you still taste the old apple orchard hidden in the pie? Can you still taste the old apple orchard hidden in the pie? Can you still taste the old apple orchard hidden in the pie? Can you still taste the old apple orchard hidden in the pie?

Don't Lay on the Floor 03:14
lyrics

Don't lay down Don't lay on the floor Don't get lost in the repeated Sometimes the first step is the worst Ask for a small change And change what you're asking for I ask you to change You'll get used to changing more Give me something I see so many reasons No more parting I'll give you all I own Just don't give up Easy as it goes Please, don't lay on the floor I wish I could help But it just gets worse Don't give up on me By not paying the cost Even if so helpless Don't damn all the help Don't lay in the mess Don't lay on the floor Give me something I see so many reasons No more parting I'll give you all I own Just don't give up Easy as it goes Please, don't lay on the floor Don't let me down Please don't lay down Don't let me down Don't lay on the floor Give me something I see so many reasons No more parting I'll give you all I own Just don't give up Easy as it goes Please, don't lay on the floor Please, don't lay on the floor

The Ship and the Waves 05:00
lyrics
buy track
My ship has sailed, but has it really? There’s too much, too many of uncertain feelings And the storm in the robes of a lamb What is missed, does wet mean pleased? Four-leaved clover, it’s over My ship has sailed, I’m lost at sea Or am I the sea, too large to see me..? I wanted to care but I cared way too much The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace Bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves The protector of the commotion Humor me, human slow as the wide oceans Blue in the face that never gets too green Inhuman remains hidden behind screens Protective smoke and the mirrors Mirrored to never get clearer I wanted to be there, I was way too much Getting there, got nowhere, the whole world to watch The bright star to follow to forget starts But bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves The ship, the waves, the golden shore views The ship, the waves, the forever cruise I wanted to care but I cared way too much The way to nowhere, the rays you can touch Burning bright, burning, burned over with grace Bear with me, I’ll carry thee You’ll be the ship And I’ll be the waves The waves, the waves Bear with me, I’ll carry thee Until you’ll be the ship Until I’ll be the waves Carry me always

Not Alone 02:55
lyrics

Even if not with you I stand by your side My head up with pride Proud of whoever you are It’s ok It’s really ok Acknowledge it’s ok ‘Cause you are Not alone Not alone Even if far away A part is always there A part is always yours Also in losses and falls Even on lonely road You can hear my noises and moans I never truly left In your soul part-me is kept It’s ok It’s really ok Acknowledge it’s ok ‘Cause you are Not alone Not alone Not alone Not alone

Are You Me? 04:32
lyrics
In the grey night fields I heard There’s no need for names No need for names In a mirrored closeness There’s no need for names No need for names, so I ask Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? I ask As two become one And they lose themselves, all is done Are they one? A circular question When they lose themselves, all is done Are they one, or else? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? I ask And so and so I wonder Do we honestly need to Follow a thunder Follow a thunder The importance of being brave Do we honestly need to Follow a thunder Follow a thunder Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? Are you me? I ask

Slow 05:38
lyrics
buy track
I prefer to have it slow, Slow to the point of not leaving, leaving my bed Held in place, I can’t get home Until the sun comes up, making my mood and cheeks red Wake my mes, please Vanishing in you, I will rocket to the moon There I’ll sleep until noon There I’ll never know the time Make my noon today, make my today soon Being fast, I can get slow, Slow in the way I am held, held by the time On the fast track, I am home Home until told, scolded that I need to change the line Rock me to sleep Vanishing in you, I will rocket to the sun There I’ll walk till I deserve my guns There I’ll never know the “mine” Making the run today and yesterdays done Let’s do our slow very fast Now’s the time and point of being, all other is missed Let’s put the now in the past By living like past is gone and future doesn’t exist Let us do today today Let us do today slow

Kelsey O'nara - A Cappella 03:29
lyrics
Kelsey O’nara A girl with eyes so green You find yourself lost in that what could seem Like the green pastures of forever to hold Just say, say her name to call her again Say, say: O’nara, my dearest friend Kelsey O’nara A girl of thousand faces You need to caress her to know how the changes Go through to get, get you through Just say, say her name to learn a few new ways Say, say: O’nara, I loved and I’ll love those days Kelsey O’nara A girl of the purest smiles You’ll want to smile back for her to know that you tried Finding yourself grown over by a warm hug Just say, say her name to feel the calm, calm happy Say, say: O’nara, yourself I just might need Kelsey O’nara A girl of the last goodbyes You don’t know how to say or how to make last You try anyway since the future is to pass So say, say her name with a one last bow Say, say: O’nara, take my hand, and let’s go Take my hand, and let’s go

about

Nine months to release. Much more, even, and perhaps as much to make - mix, master, produce, fight over it… ^_^ Not even talking about writing, trying out, changing stuff in the process.

We're talking about the 8.8 album, our first (bedroom) studio album ever. And 8.8 is us. The surprised eyes when we found out we are the same and the exact opposites. The 8th of August of promises we promised to never make. And the beginning and the end.

For the 8.8 album, we've selected eight songs (out of the circa 90 we have) connected to moments of the &Tilly beginnings in 2019/2020. And those were not all light and bright. All of these mostly-acoustic sounds grow into complex simplicities thanks to a singer-songwriter's feel, strong melodies, soundscapes, and deeply poetic lyrics.
