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.

Story behind the song

I have posted the lyrics for this one because they are uncharacteristically difficult to understand.

Lyrics

it's easy, well i remember the south
and each word that tumbled out of your mouth 
was insane

to say so may be in very bad taste
but i can't seem to remember your face 
or your name

i'm not the only one
who's glad that you are gone

you're hell-bent on living every day
like it were your last, but nobody paid
to see that

i've seen you stumble over yourself
to garner intellectual wealth
believe that

i'm not the only one
who's smitten when you're wrong

i'd reason, but i never could see
why each word was exponentially
more stupid

your ego was born of virgin conceit
the miracle is how we ever believed
what you did

i'm not the only one
who's glad that you are gone
three lies that act as one
the father, ghost, and son
