about
Wide Awake | Open Hands is the third EP by Oakland, CA based electro-Americana band Mr. Kind. It was recorded at TRI Studios in San Rafael, the studio founded by the legendary Bob Weir, of the Grateful Dead. It is a departure from from the rough-around-the-edges garage folk rock of our first EP OK and the denser electronic leanings of their second EP, Mr. Kind. This EP shows the collaboration between the members of Mr. Kind deepening on their most ambitious studio effort to date.
lyrics
When I’m awake and you’re on my mind
You seem to be a visitor from another time
When the days were warm and you still looked the same
I didn’t think I knew you then but you showed up anyway
I didn’t have a clue what you’d think of me
But I took my time and found my way out confidentially
I tried too hard to be good enough
But I only seemed to get in my way
If I’m not good for nothing I’m going to love you anyways
If it makes no difference Hold on to what I said
If I’m not good for nothing I’m going to love you anyways
If it makes no difference Hold on to what I said
Hold on to what I said
You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
You seem to be a visitor from another time
When the days were warm and you still looked the same
I didn’t think I knew you then but you showed up anyway
I didn’t have a clue what you’d think of me
But I took my time and found my way out confidentially
I tried too hard to be good enough
But I only seemed to get in my way
If I’m not good for nothing I’m going to love you anyways
If it makes no difference Hold on to what I said
If I’m not good for nothing I’m going to love you anyways
If it makes no difference Hold on to what I said
Hold on to what I said
You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
