about

Crush is a love song from the perspective of an unreliable narrator. Written, produced and recorded during lockdown 2.0 the track combines the swagger of late 70s funk with themes of unrequited love and stalking. The expressive, gritty lead vocal is underpinned by stabs of lush harmonies, reaching a shrieking, hysterical climax -mirrored by a squealing, unhinged guitar solo. The track is built upon a seductive thrusting bass line and grooving drums, punctuated by fizzing synths.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Our love feels one sided
When I’m out front and you won’t let me in
No
My message, did you get it?
I sent it in a letter incase you missed my call
Feels like I haven’t seen you at all

Hi
Hi, did you have a long day?
I had to order for you
Do you eat your dinner late?
I know you do

Wow. look thats so nice of me,
I’m doing things for you

PRE CHORUS
Watching over you
As you sleep through

CHORUS
My crush on you
(We’re getting closer than ever)
Crushing on you
(I’m the glue holding us together)
My crush on you
(I’m getting closer than ever)
Crushing on you
(You’re my glue)

VERSE 2
It feels nice when we have time alone,
Sit in my car as you kick back at home.
You’re peeking though your curtains playing hard to get,
I know
The shops you buy your groceries,
It’s written down on the receipts
That you’ve been leaving out for me.
Codes for your love to decipher
In the night time
Keeping one eye
On your back door

CHORUS 2
My crush is you
(We’re getting closer than ever)
Crushing on you
(I’m the glue holding us together)
My crush on you
(I’m getting closer than ever)
Crushing on you
(Watching you)

My crush on you
(We’re getting closer than ever)
Crushing on you
(I’m the glue holding us together)
My crush on you
(I’m getting closer than ever to)
Crushing on you
Touching you

Touching you
Touching you
