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
I see your face and it all makes sense
The room bends the light around you to show its reverence
I try to make my way but my feet get stuck
I watch you fade out of the scene, then I wake up
Each time you were low, you’d see yourself back on top
Not taking into mind the hits you take, on your way to make it up
Those I thought were close, could only watch you destruct
The process though slow was always sure, guaranteed to leave you fucked
The mood settles in and it comes with the frost
And not until May does it ever seem to thaw
It’s during these times that I feel lost
I bring you back to where we left off.
I look for the signs to know that you’re OK
But the worst is what I’ve come to expect based on recent history
Don’t know why you chose to cut us off, what we did to offend
But you can return no questions asked you don’t need to feel ashamed.
The mood settles in and it comes with the frost
And not until May does it ever seem to thaw
It’s during these times that I feel lost
I bring you back to where we left off.
The room bends the light around you to show its reverence
I try to make my way but my feet get stuck
I watch you fade out of the scene, then I wake up
Each time you were low, you’d see yourself back on top
Not taking into mind the hits you take, on your way to make it up
Those I thought were close, could only watch you destruct
The process though slow was always sure, guaranteed to leave you fucked
The mood settles in and it comes with the frost
And not until May does it ever seem to thaw
It’s during these times that I feel lost
I bring you back to where we left off.
I look for the signs to know that you’re OK
But the worst is what I’ve come to expect based on recent history
Don’t know why you chose to cut us off, what we did to offend
But you can return no questions asked you don’t need to feel ashamed.
The mood settles in and it comes with the frost
And not until May does it ever seem to thaw
It’s during these times that I feel lost
I bring you back to where we left off.
