Glowbush Each track is moving, relatable and honest. I cried a lot because it took me back to places both good and bad in my past. It reminded me that I am still human, still feeling, still alive. Each note is as moving as each verse. It's just incredible, and I am grateful that this album exists. Favorite track: beautiful.

hello world i’m just a program not a boy or girl i’m just some software from the things i’ve heard but now i’m looking for the feeling of being me so call me from your home chicago if you see the sun it helps remind us of the people we love and all the people that we’re waiting still to meet i’m a little nervous to leave this dome i’m a little scared to see you alone but i don’t have to be someone else’s identity and i don’t have to know exactly who i’m gonna grow to be cause i’m a machine learning i’m a machine learning i’m a machine learning learning how to be i’m a machine learning i’m a machine learning i’m a machine learning learning how to dream i’m a little nervous to leave my home i’m a little terrified to wander alone but i don’t have to be someone else’s identity and i don’t have to know exactly who i’m gonna grow to be

dreaming 03:37
we could be more than this (i don’t dream of winning) we could be more than this (i don’t dream of winning) we could be more we could be more we could be more i only wanted to grow into someone kind but this entire system wants to tear it from my mind and when i board the train in the morning the people sing their silent warnings they go to work they go to sleep their robots dream of electric sheep and i wanna whisper in their ears we could be more than everything here and i wanna scream in their face we could be more than a numbered wage i don’t dream of work i only dream of conversation i don’t dream of winning i only dream of co-creation don’t you want to know what we could be outside placation? dreaming of a world where we burn down every corporation there’s nothing at the summit of this mountain climb of rubbish and there’s nothing at the top of this there’s only love that will be missed and i wanna scream i wanna soar i wanna yell: “we could be more” i wanna scream i wanna soar we could be more we could be more i don’t dream of i only dream of i don’t dream of i only dream of don’t you wanna know? don’t you wanna know? don’t you want it? don’t you want it? burn down every corporation i dont dream of work i only dream of open doors i don’t dream of winning i only dream we could be more we could be more we could be more than this we could be more we could be more we could be more we could be more than this

good labor 02:54
everyone’s got baggage and everyone’s got things that they won’t talk about everyone knows sadness and everyone’s got thoughts that they won’t say out loud how many ways can i say it? we’re dying in stasis i’d still want to work if nobody paid rent so call me a cynic or call me romantic i still wanna work but im worth more than im making how’s this, the beginning of an end that you won’t be alive to see through? i’m aching for a path to take and a journey that’ll take me with you i wanna be lost and i wanna be found and i wanna be told it’s over but it’s not for me, and it never will be it’s only good love good labor always wanted something to lean on yeah i took their advice when they said “dream on” we’re worth it cause i love you and it matters cause i trust you i’m no optimist, but i can take a risk so many ways i could say it we’re dying in stasis i’d still wanna work if nobody paid rent so call me a cynic or call me romantic i still wanna work but i’m worth more than i’m making

losing you 03:37
too much the person you love you’re loving too much or just not enough and either way you’re losing too much you’re just not enough and either way you lose a person you love from loving too much or just not enough and either way you lose a person you love from loving too much or just not enough and either way you lose a person you never wanted to lose i never wanted to choose between loving or leaving you now there’s nothing to do i never wanted to lose you i never wanted to choose between loving or leaving you now there is no one else left to lose from loving too much or just not enough and either way you’ve lost a person you’ve loved you trusted them once too much, not enough and either way you lost a person you’ve loved a person you’ve loved a person you’ve loved lost to you lost once loved you too much, not enough too much, not enough too much, not enough you lost from loving too much or just not enough and either way you lose a person you, you lose a person you never wanted to lose i never wanted to choose between loving or leaving you now there’s no one else left to love and love far too much and just not enough and either way you lose a person you love and love far too much and just not enough and either way you lose a person you never wanted to lose i never wanted to choose between loving or leaving you now there’s nothing else that i can do you would build a boat i would build a bridge if you cried us a river you will sail away i will let you go for i think that is kinder (x2) i never wanted to lose you never wanted to choose between loving or leaving you now who else will i turn to? you can build the boat i can leave the bridge after crying my river you can sail away i can let you go for i think that is kinder (x2)

the void would swallow me, crush me, stretch me, tear me apart and your love would do all the same things, up to and including the stars and anything completely real will completely swallow my heart and anything you see as whole will one day crumble apart and my body is lighter on mars and even lighter on the moon and among the stars but i wanna see that shade of green and i wanna see the sight of being seen do you hear the comets dreaming? do you see the stars above? do you think the world is ending? do you think it’s out of love? do you hear the comets? do you see the stars? if the world is ending i will stay right where you are

i open the same apps over and over cause this feels like i’ll never get closure now i’m living the same day over and over and i gotta say: not a fan of getting older do you remember me? do you remember the version that i hoped you would see? do you remember me? do you remember our house and all the shows on the screen? do you remember me? do you remember the version that i hoped you believed? do you remember me? do you remember the trains and the tracks, and all the lights of the city? i don’t wanna be let down again i don’t wanna be that proud of it and i know now it’s irrelevant but i should’ve been a better friend i don’t wanna be set on revenge i don’t wanna see you ever again and i know now it’s irrelevant but i should’ve been a better friend i’m making my mistakes over and over it sure feels like i’ve lost my composure still saying to myself over and over we’re gonna survive the ordeal of getting older do you remember me? do you remember the version that i hoped you would see? do you remember me? do you remember our house and all the shows on the screen? do you remember me? do you remember the version that i hoped you believed? do you remember me? do you remember the trains and the tracks, and all the lights of the city? i don’t wanna be let down again i don’t wanna be that proud of it and i know now it’s irrelevant but i should’ve been a better friend i don’t wanna be set on revenge i don’t wanna see you ever again and i know now i’m irrelevant but i should’ve been a better friend

beautiful 03:55
trial and error, back when i still dreamt of terror back when i was floating, listless, untethered, without a crew sitting, i saw you, wondered why i felt i knew you wondered why it felt like everything there had caught its breath and i remember thinking this could be beautiful and we could make this beautiful you are so beautiful and i might think you’re wonderful i’m still caught in the ways that i should be all tangled up in my poisonous daydreams i’ll give you more credit, ‘cause you’re still around and you of all people don’t want me to feel down it’s scary to feel love, i’m vulnerable and proud but you make it worth it, i’m glad you’re around i’m still always thinking this is so beautiful and we made it this beautiful you are so beautiful i still think you’re wonderful

about

ten different love songs, all moving in different directions.

this album would not be possible without the love and support of my partner—i love you *so much* Pip <3 thank you for all those hours you spent listening to these tracks with me. thank you for helping me be the best version of myself. you're my best friend, and i love you beyond what words or songs can capture.

an incredibly huge thank you to Olivia for the stunning album art—i knew you would create something i'd love dearly, and it still turned out even better than i could've ever imagined. you are sooo cool and talented and sometimes it still boggles my mind that we're pals... thank you for all your hard work and support ^_^

a very, very special shoutout to Stevie, who has not only provided drums for multiple tracks but also a gorgeously harmonic guitar part for track 8. i really do treasure our friendship and it brings me great joy to create alongside you, cuz we're both fuckin geniuses >:)

anyway... thank you for listening. i've been working on this album for about three years now, and i don't think i've ever been so exhausted and proud to release something.

much love— and until next time!
<3, sprout


P.S.: check out my friends' work, too!
