about

"Neither here nor there" was the last track written, being recorded 3 weeks after our arrival back home. Tone and I talked about including a song about the odd feeling of being a bit relaxed on this trip even with a whirlwind of tasks needing to be handled back at home. An odd feeling for sure.

We also mentioned that we didn't address the canal ride we took aboard a tourist boat to film shots for our music video, "Drifted on a Memory" so Tone took a point to address both in his verse.

Cal's verse fixated on the beauty of women and how he could only think about a few things in that moment.

The juxtaposition of the verses and the hook bringing both a relaxed, groove in the verse and a kind of somber, melancholy feel to the hook was interesting to us and felt necessarily heavy on an album that stayed relatively light and fun.

lyrics

(Bridge)
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm already there
Thinking 'bout all the things I haven't done
Thinking 'bout what I got to do instead of having fun

It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm already there
Thinking 'bout the things I haven't done
Thinking 'bout what I got to do instead of having fun

(Hook)
I've been fighting this feeling for so long
Feels like I'm right but also feels so wrong
Try to be present but the urge to escape is so strong
So long, I'm so gone

This pursuit's a roller coaster
So close yet always so far
A million miles from home as I roam
With a million thoughts on my dome

(Tone Verse)
See the reflection of my face on the water
Ripples reflect light and start my mind wander
Cal-S-thetics talking sports with a tourist
Enkrypt setting up her camera for recording
I'm cracking jokes with Leyroy and Lois
We cruising the canals getting caught up in the moment
Just Glass Bottom Boat-ing, it's so scenic
I'm in Amsterdam and I still can't believe it
I'm so lucky, I'm so blessed
Not thinking 'bout home, not thinking 'bout stress
All the bills I got passed due, it's kind of hectic
I'm in Europe for the 1st time it's so epic
The tour guides voice snapped me out my epiphany
Explaining the buildings and some of their history
Not thinking, absorbing the colors of sunset
Painted memories in my head won't do it justice

(Hook)
I've been fighting this feeling for so long
Feels like I'm right but also feels so wrong
Try to be present but the urge to escape is so strong
So long, I'm so gone

This pursuit's a roller coaster
So close yet always so far
A million miles from home as I roam
With a million thoughts on my dome

(Cal Verse)
A million thoughts that I went through
Still thinking 'bout you
Thinking 'bout you

Caribbean Rhythms got me up in my feelings
Just want that sexual healing that make me jump to the ceiling
But got me praying and kneeling like you're the goddess of wisdom
Freeing those that's in prison, a most beautiful vision
Trapped up in my finder, trying to capture your light
Just a constant reminder that you are the prototype
Despite any hype, I'm enamored 100
In your aura's abundance got me speaking redundant
Your form is so wondrous I dream of babies we'd make
If our spirits aligned and our souls filled the same space
And I could feel your flavor, give your spirit a taste
It'd be The Great Escape, a tender embrace
From a wrap/hug to back rub
To the depths of Black Love
Letting it flow like solos in a jazz club (Ik Loev)
Cascading down like falls of Niagara
Some kind of magic, abra kadabra

(Bridge)
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm already there
Thinking 'bout all the things I haven't done
Thinking 'bout what I got to do instead of having fun

It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm not even here
It's like I'm already there...
