Pre-order limited edition blue vinyl here - “ “Tender wanted to take the direction of a fragmented and collapsing relationship with this one. I decided to touch on the different dynamics which a relationship can hold. Beyond “happiness” and “sadness”, there are times when two people are just on different paths. No matter the effort they put in, something else is putting them off-kilter and out-of-synch. Call it bad timing, differences, whatever. People also become desensitised to one another, almost reaching slumber, unaware and oblivious to the other’s feelings. The energy of ‘Nadir’ screams dance to me, so I thought it would be interesting to express these dynamics through contemporary dance.“ -Jack A. Bowden. We were like an empty glass, these things weren’t built to last So put your face on and smile when they talk to you It’s not too hard, show complete disregard For anybody but yourself I hate it when you touch me but I kept it under wraps Get bored during foreplay and I think we’re getting fat Tried to go the distance but we’re only wasting time Who’re we kidding? This is our Divide Need to go our separate ways, I’m too scared if you stay We’ll hold another grudge, who am I to judge If I will wake up one day and miss you too much Yeah we play with high stakes, it’s a risk I need to take Dirty beds and Motels, cast your spell on someone else But you, but you You’ll be happy over time Thank fuck for our decline With all I’ve done and all I say I’ve been loving you in a different way Tried to explain, wash away the pain Things were never gonna stay the same This is our Divide Need to go our separate ways, I’m too scared if you stay We’ll hold another grudge, who am I to judge If I will wake up one day and miss you too much Yeah we play with high stakes, it’s a risk i need to take Dirty beds and Motels, cast your spell on someone else But you, but you You’ll be happy over time Thank fuck for our decline ©Partisan Records 2017
