about

"Fernwood Ave." and "Upstairs" are old works that Windows' frontman Matteo Arias recently stumbled across while clearing out his desk. He decided to record the tracks in a true lo-fi bedroom fashion that fits the mood of the songs and teeters between a melancholy daze and joyful bliss. The songs come just a few months after our recent pair of studio tracks were released in May of this year. The tracks were entirely written and recorded by Arias and self-released by the band's own label DeliFam Records.

lyrics

These days have passed me by
Please know that I'm docile
Biding by that lakeside
On Fernwood Avenue

Beneath the shade
Of the verdant trees
My heart beats slow
A gentle breeze
The sky above
A canvas of blues
I'm lost without
Nothing to lose

The rustling leaves, a melody
A perfect song, just for me
The sun fades in
And the sun fades out
My thoughts run free
Like a drip from the spout

These days have passed me by
Please know that I'm docile
Biding by that lakeside
On Fernwood Avenue

The ripplin' water, a soothing sound
My mind a blur
My thoughts unbound
The sun shines down
A warm embrace
A perfect feeling
I can't replace

The world outside, it fades away
A moment of peace, a holiday
The city keeps singin, but I stay here
Happy at home, a boy with a beer

These days have passed me by
Please know that I'm docile
Biding by that lakeside
On Fernwood Avenue

Skim right through, a magazine
Geographic, something to dream
An old tin can, a coupla of cents
A whale tooth comb
To make me a chance

These days have passed me by
Please know that I'm docile
Biding by that lakeside
On Fernwood Avenue
