Together 03:57
I just want to lie on the floor, Next to you, with the curtains pulled, And your favourite CD on, Trace my palms with your fingertips, And tell me how they broke your heart. Watch the light that bleeds from the edge of the window start to fade, and the arpeggiator runs on, and the prosecco runs dry, and the drum hits in time with your heartbeat. Do me a favour, please, Rest your head on my shoulder, And I'll rest mine on yours, And we can forget about the future, Forget the future together , Together, Together, Together, Together, Together, Together, Forget the future together.

Go Home 03:33
I've been walking again, I go out and forget to tell any of my friends where I'm going, I'm drunk on the side of a road in a ditch when you find me, I wanna go home, I'm sick, There's there's more whisky than blood in my veins, More tar than air in my lungs, The strung out call I make, Burned out at the edge of the highway, I'm sorry for asking but please come take me home, I quit talking again, I know you're still listening, I see you fell asleep, It pierced my skin, Needles to the worn out wrecks, The folds in my arms are sticking in blood, And I haven't been taking my meds, Lock all the cabinets, send me to bed, Because I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared, Because I'm alone again and I don't like the things I see, And I haven't been taking my meds, So lock all the cabinets send me to bed, Because I know you're still worried, I'm gonna get scared again, And make my insides clean with the kitchen bleach, I've kissed enough bathroom sink, To make up for the lovers that never loved me, And I know that my body is just dirty cloths, I'm tired of washing my hands and I wanna go home

about

“Have a listen when you need to let go, when you need to believe in life’s possibilities; whenever you need a lift of spirits. It’s positively musical bliss.” - IndieMidlands

"How am I so obsessed with this? Hits me with the same sort of sonic elevation that Blink-182 used to but with none of the cynicism. Beautiful stuff." - Tommy Faith

Taking cues from the likes of The Postal Service, Blink-182 and Porter Robinson, ‘Together’ opens with atmospheric beats and synths, before dropping down into its melancholic verses; flickering with splashes of pizzicato violin, subtle guitar and percussion. Endearing melodies float fluently above, building gently into its soaring and infectious chorus, as Wolfjay shines a light on their journey with gender identity.

Wolfjay expands on the motivation behind the track:

“I wrote ‘Together’ the day Australia voted to legalise same-sex marriage in the nation-wide plebiscite, laying on the floor in a recording studio with someone I found fascinating and incredible and lovely. We drank prosecco until there wasn’t any left and took turns being honest with each other. ‘Together’ is about having the freedom of being absorbed by the warmth and weight of being close to someone, sharing the same space for a moment and letting it consume you, finally letting go of every stressful thing that’s trying to steal that moment away — forgetting the future together”.
