about

As featured on the "BOS Sessions, The Ghent Showcase Edition #1"-vinyl, this version of 'Echo Park' was recorded before we recorded Mångata. For the album, the drums were rerecorded, as well as some of the vocals. The track was also remixed and remastered.

lyrics

You made it out ‘til summertime
I made it out ‘til June
But now the storm it catches up
There’s nothing left to do
but hold on to the ropes my love
Close your eyes again
The light’s too far away to see
Across the misty land

You felt like steering deeper out
I felt like dashing in
By now it’s much too late to leave
The ropes are wearing thin
I never prayed so hard for rain
While slamming on the keel
I felt the water rushing in
The sense of something real

And I will brave this storm for you
Until the sheer strake brakes
When dark sets in and summer fades
We’ll look for something new

In bodies of wood
We’ll conquer the flood
No fear of the tides
We cut loose and cast off

Did you see it happen
It was right in front of your eyes
I tried to save it all for you
And you still look surprised
I look like a battlefield
I’m swept from side to side
Cave in or dig a deeper hole
a place where I can hide

And I will build a ship for you
we’ll sail right out of town

Going down with the strength of the tides
wasn’t your plan, I know it never was
But fixing holes the size of the ship
isn’t an option when you’ve never lost
So when the waves started eating the deck
I kinda liked it, I must admit
For what it’s worth, this boat was never enough
To hold the both of us, as it did

And I will build a ship for you
we’ll sail right out of town
