about

'Something to Write Home About' by The Get Up Kids is in my top 10 favourite albums of all time. This song came about through a mutual love of the band between myself and Harker.

Mark and Phoebe from Harker contributed a lot of the backbone of this song with vocals, piano and guitar. Similar to yellowbirddd, I got into Harker through Tumblr and it wasn't really until 2017 that I met Mark after a show at JT Soar. I finally got to see the band live when I put them on the following year in support of their album 'No Discordance' and getting to know the four of them has been an incredible journey. I also had the absolute pleasure of joining Mark, Phoebe and Dan from Ducking Punches on an acoustic tour in early 2019 and I had the time of my life.

lyrics

It's words you forget
To anniversary songs
The bottles bite back
Your tolerance wrong
Your good intentions count for little anymore
If you're sorry, why wage war?

I'm not fully convinced
There's something wrong with this
Could another point of view
Biased and untrue
Tear me away from you?

Will you be my valentine?
If I'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants aren't so constant anymore

Two days I wait for
Calls to come though
Tonight for me translates to yesterday to you

Bend and you wave
You're barely away
I wish I could say tonight
That when you bend and wave goodbye
You'd take me with you

Will you be my valentine?
If I'm a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants aren't so constant anymore
The constants aren't so constant anymore
Will you be my valentine? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
Will you be my valentine? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
If I'm a world away? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
If I'm a world away? (the constants aren't so constant anymore)
The constants aren't so constant anymore
