lyrics
CLUMSY AND SHY IN A SMALL TOWN WHERE I
WAS STRUGGLING TO BREATHE FAILING TO THRIVE
UNBEFRIENDED ALONE UNKNOWING UNKNOWN
BARELY HALF A PERSON UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG
SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU SPOUT MALEVOLENT SPITE
WORDS SO WOUNDING I WON’T GO OUT TONIGHT
OH WHY WHY WHY HAVE YOU GONE SO AWRY
ARE YOU SO UNCARING WAS THE OLD YOU MERELY A LIE
ONCE I WAS LOST YOU SHOWED ME THE WAY
WHEN SCHOOL WAS SO CRUEL YOU MADE IT OK
YOU GAVE ME THE WORDS THAT I NEEDED TO SAY
PROVIDED DIRECTION MADE ME FEEL LESS AFRAID
SO PLEASE TELL ME WHY ARE YOU ALL DEAD INSIDE
DO YOU LACK COMPASSION IS IT EASIER TO DESPISE
YOU CAN DRIBBLE SOME MORE YOU OLD REACTIONARY BORE
BUT THE WORLD WON’T LISTEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT MY LIFE
ANYMORE

One of the best indie pop records I’ve heard since the heyday of Sarah, Cherry Red, and classic Slumberland. Instantly captivating and deeply nostalgic while feeling utterly contemporary at the same time. I suppose that’s what makes classics “classic” - a category the entire RPP catalog has already achieved to my ears. Think of your favorite band. Somehow, you will hear them echoing through these beautifully melancholic songs. Extraordinary work. There Is No Teenage Love
Tom Robbins inspired the songs on this collection of left field pop that leans hard into quirkiness and then falls over. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 30, 2022

An absolutely gorgeous pop record by the leader of Scottish band The Vapour Trails.
If the Love's Blue Yonder single released in mid-April 2021 was any indication, expectations were high for this first solo album but it even surpasses them as Kevin Robertson proves to be a stellar songwriter, musician and singer, on par with fellow Scotsmen Daniel Wylie and Andrew Taylor. POPPHIL
