about

"Classic Pop songs sunk deep in a sea of feedback. Scuzzy keys, reverb drenched choir boy vocals, and thick smacking drums. The instruments may be drowning in a delicious lo-fi buzz, but the lyrics stick with you. Jay Ellis can write a solid pop song, and Close to Everything is packed with the proof. Accompanied by fellow inlet boys Dylan Dickerson and Marc Coty, this project is sure to gain praise from many more than just us at WUSC.
Impecabally beautiful album."
-WUSC

Track Name: Seeing Stars
when the storms came to town
all the kids ran out
bare feet on the ground
as the rain came down
and they say you'll know
when it's time to let go
so let thunder roll
and just let her go

but now I'm seeing stars
for the first time in months
and I know you're not far
cuz I'm close now to everything

through the sounds of the rain
voices carry across the lake
and there's one I know it's you
tell those boys what to do
and they say you'll know
when it's time to let go
so let thunder roll
and just let her go

but now I'm seeing stars
for the first time in months
and I know you're not far
cuz I'm close now to everything
is one night worth the drive
just to see those eyes
but oh the way they shine
one nights worth the drive
Track Name: Ocean Highway
I'm lying on the sand
and realize the island's been split in two
the waves take your hand
and run with you far far from me

to where ever you may go
take with you all your pride in tow
and if you can't find your love there
follow the ocean highway back to me

if I could see you now
it wouldn't be easy to let you go
but you wouldn't believe
in knowing that I'd rather let you go

to where ever you may go
take with you all your pride in tow
and if you can't find your love there
follow the ocean highway back to me

I need your love
I need it even though it's killing me
who, baby, tonight
break my heart but who's feeling anything

to where ever you may go
take with you all your pride in tow
and if you can't find your love there
follow the ocean highway back to me
Track Name: Tranquility
it's late july by now
in a place where the days
last a little longer
running by your side
in a race to the lake
in between the pines
reasons still unclear
why that day you said
I'm gonna bring you back here

where the sun will always be shining
the sun will always be shining
from the dock to the lake we would lie in
the sun will always be shining

I always see your face
in the dreams i want to keep
but rarely can remember
many years behind
I'm unsure will there still
be enough time
and would I even know
if this place is the same
as where we used to roam

where the sun will always be shining
the sun will always be shining
from the dock to the lake we would lie in
the sun will always be shining

but how will I go on without you
how will I go on without
Track Name: Forgetting Carolina
tonight you'll glow
from every cell you're radiating
sunlight soul
you carry with your consolation
i know it must be hard
to leave this all behind
but I know you've found a way
of forgetting all the time

lately, I lie awake for you
waiting for a signal to get through
lately you don't seem so far away
(I've been lying awake, lying awake)
you're getting closer every day

tonight you'll glow
the lamps above illuminate
your fading clothes
the sky is lit by lightning
and I know, I know it must be hard
to leave this all behind
but I know you've found a way
of forgetting all the time

lately, I lie awake for you
waiting for a signal to get through
lately you don't seem so far away
(I've been lying awake, lying awake)
you're getting closer every day
Track Name: These Summer Nights
the sun breaks through the clouds
to meet these tired eyes
I rise to meet the day
I'm too late, it has passed away
oh, what a wonderful waste of time
these summer nights
these summer nights

the pain that fills my heart
has been building and building from the start
I need the love you gave to me
why can't you see you belong to me
oh, what a wonderful waste of time
these summer nights
these summer nights
