Such a noisy but beautifully instrumented song. Ezra’s vocals are so relaxed and calming, while the drums are energetic in the background. It is just so well balanced.

A perfect song.
2. Capricorn

2. Always Everywhere
Such a simple chorus, but because of how the instrumental soars with the violins and bass, it just feels so grand. It is a really soft ... read more
