so I got a hole eating me wide I raised my voice until you cried when will I be a better person I don't know sometimes I think I'm made out of stone I promised if I hurt you I would go you shout, scream back 'oh no no no no' why do you want me with you? sometimes I think you're made out of glue I saw the look in your eyes asked you 'whats the matter' (and I listened to the answer) and oh how it moved my stone sometimes I think I'm not alone...

Blood Moon 03:02
What do you do When you're not surprised By the boy talk anymore? I don't talk talk anymore I don't talk talk anymore Call from my boss My day off Is he gonna let me go? I gotta work work; work it out Be smart, be dumb, be cute, be quiet I------- wanna howl-------- When you cry to your boys How you love me, how you want me Then show up at my show Tell me not to scream. You show up at my show Say I'd look better if I didn't play guitar I-------- wanna howl-------- So go - go to your boys, "she doesn't love me, doesn't love me" Sure, I got A sore spot For you Just not The spot you want Met you at the student rally Took you down St Jeromes alley Gave to me a mix c.d Said you weren't like any other I------- wanna howl-------- When you cry to your boys How you love me, how you want me Then show up at my show Tell me not to scream. You show up at my show Say I'd look better if I didn't play guitar I-------- wanna howl-------- So go - go to your boys, "she doesn't love me, doesn't love me" Guess what? I don't want you to be my dog Guess what? I don't want you to be my dog

Waking up To a night sky of regrets; Light of dead stars I'm gonna rub it all out We won't be young For very long So come on strong So come on close, much closer now I wanna be found out Talk's underground As the sun rises my doubt Know we don't work And sick of the work - what is it worth We don't take much To start this love You turn my earth So come back close, please come back close I want to find out what its worth ... I will not be scared, of the love we shared Though we seem to know, someday it will end I will not be scared, of the love we shared Though we seem to know, someday it will end This will be something we tell our children If we make it all the way to them This will be something we give to our kids Words in the place, of our fathers debts 'Do not be afraid of the life you made Someday it will end.'

Ourselves 04:09
What are you gonna do with that mindfulness When it goes cheating on your own interests? We saw the words on rerun, the neon wall Saying "You are, you are, you are an individual" Taught that in talk and argument, we must defend, we must protect Ourselves I have a father and a mother too They went like moths attracted into the blue No peace did I know in either of their souls Grey winged angels, made for neither heaven nor hell They went their ways and I went mine, and in time, I found we're still fighting Ourselves What if an individual couldn't solve it all? What if an individual couldn't solve it all. What if I needed someone to unplug the wall? For the me, the my, the I - I have been blind before And I'm aching to be, I'm aching to be Blind no more. I'm aching to be here no more I'm aching to be here no more I'm aching to be here no more I'm aching to be alone no more I'm aching to be alone no more I'm aching to be here no more.

about

Released on LISTEN Records, 'Close' is EP number three for alt-rock two-piece Beloved Elk. It features the bands latest singles "Blood Moon", "Made Out of Glue" and "The Light of Dead Stars".

Adding to this are two solo pieces bookending the EP. 'Noah' is an instrumental by drummer Tina, while 'Ourselves' is a heartfelt work on acoustic guitar by Amy, showcasing what Beloved Elk are truly capable of.

Beloved Elk's sound can be described as hazy guitar and pummelling drums, with stirring lyrics and duelling melancholy vocals. This vibrant alt rock sound has been likened to Modest Mouse and Tegan and Sara with live dramatics influenced by Dresden Dolls.
