Not unlike its namesake, ‘Music Box’ starts with softly spoken, angelic vocals nestled atop delicate key tinkering and shimmering synths that create a dreamy atmosphere of nostalgic introspection.

lyrics

Music Box January 7th 2020

When I play the music box, it takes me back to home
Ralph the rabbit, myrtle the turtle
Makes a lovely fable
In a table of two

When your magic hands turn things to life
In a paintbrush or interface
Everything falls into place

Chorus:
Do you hide in a hardcore shell
Or do you keep your head held high?
Do you sleep when the thunders roll
Where those dreams can’t bother you

When I play the music box, it takes me back to home
In a cozy house, with a nice meal
Raisin cakes or veal

When your magic hands turn things to life
In a paintbrush or interface
Everything falls into place

Chorus:
Do you hide in a hardcore shell
Or do you keep your head held high?
Do you sleep when the thunders roll
Where those dreams can’t bother you

Home sweet home
Comfy shelter from the rain
Home sweet home
The only place I feel safe from pain

Chorus:
Do you hide in a hardcore shell?
Or do you keep your head held high?
Do you sleep when the thunders roll
Where those dreams can’t bother you

When I play that music box, it takes me back to home
