about

First single from the 5th album from Flicker Vertigo 'Waking Dreamstate'

Music to daydream to. Bursting with crunchy psychedelic textures, sun-dappled hooks, blissed out melodies fluttering overhead, explosive rhythms and intricate grooves whizzing by, plus subliminal nods to dream pop, krautrock and jazz bubbling upon the horizon and melting into the kaleidoscopic haze form this swirling, vertigo-inducing mixture that takes inspiration from the past and transmits it skyward.

lyrics

I miss that feeling, I don't know where it's gone,
But it's in here somewhere 'cause I tasted it last night,
Back at that old place, crescent moon hangs in space,
And I was just feeling so alive

Through thunder, I was crawling,
I dragged myself here,
I made it, soaking,
And I'm never going back

But I miss the days where I knew where to go,
Now I'm at the end of the path, I can only turn around,
I look back, but everyone has gone,
And that time's not coming back

I sit here, I'm speechless,
I breathe in the universe,
November, am I dreaming?
I can't believe this is real

Oh my old friend, I miss you,
Remember the days when we used to be so carefree?

I'm walking through memories,
They seem so crystal clear,
These moments, they're precious,
This waking dreamstate

Waking dreamstate,
Waking dreamstate,
Waking dreamstate,
Waking dreamstate
