Doorway 03:36
why don't you walk me back home and leave/me out on the porch steps/you whisper the words you know you know/when I want you the most/the way you look in the eyes your eyes/I know I can't take it with me/so I melt down to the floor the floor/after you walk away and leave me/wanting more/wanting more/wanting more/wanting more/the doorway opens I walk on through/this isn't what I imagined/if you are reading my mind you're mine/I'll leave it open just for you one more time/one more time/one more time/one more time/I wonder when I will be with you next time/will it feel just like the last/will you still whisper the words I know/leave me and walk out the doorway wanting more/wanting more/wanting more/wanting more

I will find you/no matter how long it takes/I will find you behind the door/that breaks so easily/if you push it right/and I’m sure/you are just as lonely as I am/and I’m sure/you want to be found by me/there is time to feel everything you need to feel/we can walk along together/and solve all the problems that weigh/that weigh too much/and I’m sure/you are just as lonely as I am/and I’m sure/you want to be found by me/and you can put your hands in my pocket now/and you can trust me not to throw your love around/and you can put your hands in my pocket now/and you trust me not to throw your love around/love around/around/and I will walk beside you along the river everyday/and I will listen to your stories/no matter how sad/and I am there/and I’m sure/you are just as lonely as I am/and I’m sure/you want to be found by me/and you can put your hands in my pocket now/and you can trust me not to throw your love around/and you can put your hands in my pocket now/and you trust me not to throw your love around/love around/around/around/around

she took a pill today and didn’t want to say what kind/it’s how her story goes/the one that no one knows or pays her any mind/she wears designer shoes and swears she likes the news if she’s got the time/she’ll stop you in your tracks and no she won’t look back behind her/it's all because her light burns brightest in the night she's cold/ she sings the song so well she dances for a spell she holds/ impatiently she waits for once that you will break the mold/ despite all of your lies she isn't once surprised unsold/don't you wanna be her/wish that you could keep her/she sings along to Dylan songs she holds her secrets tight/buying what you’re selling/if you catch her in the night/she doesn't know she's done until she spins the hands of time/she'll put it all on black and hedge her bets on sabered wine/the higher cost the taste she'd trade it in for peace of mind/she weaves the web so well you'll never guess that she'd imbibe/don't you wanna be her/wish that you could keep her/she sings along to Dylan songs she holds her secrets tight/buying what you’re selling/if you catch her in the night/don't you wanna be her/wish that you could keep her/she sings along to Dylan songs she holds her secrets tight/buying what you’re selling/if you catch her in the night

Mystery Blue 04:00
I got stuck between time/I’m traveling traveling through flickering lights/this is existing in a muted place/ and I lost all feeling for the right pace/I see pink/and I see dark grey/and I see rose colored clouds floating/on mystery blue/mystery blue/don't recognize this time of day/put my thoughts on hold/but the heartbeat is still there/will you take me home/where I can lie down/and wait for my thoughts to arrive/I see pink/and I see dark grey/and I see rose colored clouds floating/on mystery blue/mystery blue/mystery mystery blue/the air drifts past/on an imaginary road/moving effortlessly/and gravity feels a little betrayed/while we are moving effortlessly/moving effortlessly/I see pink/and I see dark grey/and I see rose colored clouds floating/I see pink/and I see dark grey/and I see rose colored clouds floating/on mystery blue/mystery blue/mystery mystery blue

about

A year after coming together as Loftän, Janell and Julia release their debut EP, where they mix the acoustic with the electronic. The two spend lots of fun weekends recording at their homes and three days at Sprout City Studios to transform songs that had only been alive on stage into pieces that deserve the best pair of headphones you can afford!

The title “From Here” ties together the theme of moving, moving through life, moving to a new country, moving through doorways, moving effortlessly, staying on track... It’s also a symbol for what’s to come for Loftän. Janell and Julia are looking forward to sharing their music and universe with you, to see where their career as musicians will take them, from here.
