about

“The song started as a conversation on shrooms about how I had gotten quieter, and in the song I am picking apart my silent vulnerability to see if there's something happening inside.” _ Paris Cox-Farr

Accordingly, My Silence presents a softer and quieter side of garage-rock marauders Lofi Legs, its sound proceeding from the gentle folk-pop of streaming hit “Dreamin” But the prompt for “My Silence” came in part out of a desire to write something like Vance Joy’s “Riptide:” something that can be played on guitars in parks and at parties for all time, a pop song that’s also a rock song that’s also a folk song.

“Does my silence mean that I’m wise and mysterious or just boring and burnt out? Dealing with and reconciling the present, past, and future. Coming out of an intense breakup. Letting something die. Knowing that once you had loved each other but that it will never be. That cold feeling of total loneliness. Chain smoking outside in the cold wind. Death and rebirth. Waking up and trying to find out who you are or who you want to be. Coming of age and wanting to take on new projects.” _Paris Cox-Farr

lyrics

And my silence

Is it boring or mysterious

Well lately I’ve been curious

And a bit self conscious

I might add that

April whatcha doin later

Maybe watch some movie trailer

Of a prune in June that looks okay

Ooooos

Well I’ve been thinking

If my life was like a movie

well this would be the slow part

Where I find my way it cuts to a montage

We’re back playing in a garage

Phaedra staring at the water

It’s a cold reflection of her past

Ooooos

So just tell me

Actually wait no don’t just tell me

Cause I’ve been on a straight road

Pullin' up by my bootstraps

Dressed like a cowboy

I rain off into the sunset

Oh and sometimes I might forget

Just how beautiful this life could be

Ooooos

And my silence is it boring or mysterious

Cause lately I’ve been curious

And a bit self conscious

I won’t lie

about

We Were Never Being Boring Collective image

We Were Never Being Boring Collective Italy

We want music to never turn into something boring for us. It would mean that we have become boring. Because music does not die with mp3′s or copyright: boredom is what brings it down, when it becomes a habit. All we need is a small do-it-yourself collective, as tiny as a simple smile. ... more
