A Curfew For The Dead

by I Took Your Name

/

about

The first I Took Your Name release since 2021, a short and direct pop song featuring vocals, strummed electric guitars and melodic bass.

lyrics

Don't lie awake at night
There's a curfew for the dead
Sleep tight by my side
We're not alive to be alone

"One day you'll realize!"

In a forest far away
There's a cat that went astray
Gone like so many before
Lost in every single way

"Let me out, I'm coming back!"

Stop me from falling
Stop my hands from shaking hands
An arrested development
But I'm a Northern soul
I can stop time and break the fourth wall

Don't lie awake at night
There's a curfew for the dead
Sleep tight by my side
We're not alive to be alone

"One day you'll realize!"

about

I Took Your Name Groningen, Netherlands

The original plan was to make an ambient guitar record about rail yards. All that audiotransparent and kendler guitar player Chris van der Ploeg came up with was songs. He christened his project I Took Your Name, the name borrowed from an R.E.M. song.
