about

Inspired by synth-pop music of the 1980s, and utilizing a vintage eco-chamber, "Vanden Plas Memories" will be sure to conjure up atmospheric memories.

lyrics

I can’t sleep
So, I think I’ll go for a drive
Winding through mountains

It’s been eight years
But I still know every inch of these roads
They roll back in my dreams

Like watching
A silent film

Snow storm picks up
The flaks look like stars in my headlights
I pull over

Standing on this cliff makes me think of my mother

Her eyes and her earrings
Now they shine
In the night sky

Vanden Plas memories
I can go there any time I choose
Vanden Plas memories
Take my hand and come with me
Vanden Plas memories
Where time knows no boundaries
Vanden Plas memories
When I can’t fall asleep…
From simply counting sheep
I know you can relate
Through this unlocked gate
In your mind

Driving back home now
The snow has stopped
5:12 AM
Pink sky is waking up

Climb in my bed
I was there all along in my dreams
Alarm clock rings
6:30
Eyes open wide

Vanden Plas memories

So I think I’ll go for a drive
Vanden Plas memories
Like watching a silent film
Vanden Plas memories
Her eyes and her earrings
Vanden Plas memories
When I can’t fall asleep…
From simply counting sheep
I know you can relate
The Adiabatic Gate
Now it stands awake
In your mind
