Lord Waverly

Melodic, catchy, bittersweet. A modern singer/songwriter. Along the lines of Elliott Smith, Belle & Sebastian, Eric Matthews, Nick Drake, Badly Drawn Boy...

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, Lord Waverly operates by a strong asthetic rooted in modern architecture: Simplify, then repeat. Their lyrics are delicate and melodies are fragile, pretty little things that conjure emotions connected to childhood and innocence, while remaining connected to the more bittersweet relationships we encounter throughout adulthood.

Lyrics

Six miles into the air
Come now or meet me there
Somewhere that's just outside this world but
not so far that we will miss what we've left behind

Upon a satellite
The world will look all right
And we can send our friends messages and
electronic postcards from our lunar holiday

Above a world of fools
We'll put velcro on the soles of our shoes
And eat freeze-dried ice cream from a foil
pouch and tell our children 'bout the world
that we were from

And maybe they can visit one day
When they are old enough
and the world itself is not blown up
They can go there on a holiday

How happy we will be
Our space-age family
And you and I will wrap ourselves in a
blanket of stars and count them
as we drift away

I'll orbit around you
Da do da do...
