about

Arthur is an alt-synth-pop banger, set during the height of summer. Delirious in the heat, Arthur attempts to keep cool, using increasingly reckless means. The verses are driven by a pumping bass, and the choruses are laced with fizzing synths and hooky guitars. At the midpoint the track shifts into a different gear, seamlessly segueing from a disco bop into a moody bridge, which reaches a dramatic, soaring climax.

lyrics

Arthur Lyrics

VERSE 1
I left my yogurt out on the side
When I climbed in
And now its crawling with E. coli,
Should’ve poured it down the sink

VERSE 2
In the door swinging back at him
Sit chilling drinks
‘Perhaps his icebox was too small
To try out cryonics?’

CHORUS
You tried to keep cool in the Summer,
Is that right, Arthur?
You tried to keep cool in the summer,
You hide in the the darkness.

VERSE 3
He thought the problem was his hair
He couldn’t sleep
Felt just as hot when he shaved it off
So he played some cold sardines

VERSE 4
‘Arthur would you return our…’

CHORUS
Call in the Summer,
Is that right, Arthur?
You tried to keep cool in the summer,
You hide in the the darkness.

POST CHORUS
You tried to keep cool in the summer
You tried to keep cool in the summer
I want to see if the light stays on when the door closes
Cool in the summer
I want to see if the light stays on when the door closes
Cool in the summer

BRIDGE
It feels nice
Now that my body heat
Drops down well below 4 degrees
I feel fine, now I’m
Cool in the Summer

Cold as ice
Should I stay overnight
I wonder if it's airtight?
I feel fine, now I’m
Cool in the Summer

POST CHORUS
Light stays on
Now that my body heat
Drops down well below 4 degrees
I feel fine now I’m
Cool in the Summer
Light stays on
Now that my body heat
Drops down well below 4 degrees
I feel fine now I’m
Cool in the Summer
