City Lights 04:50
White lines passing by The smoke and the neon signs I take it you’re around Somewhere under the skyline Do you feel what I feel Oh in the city lights Can you feel my heartbeat Oh in the city lights The night is over Restless, waiting on your call Invite me in – take me away Have you had enough, are you moving on – do you want more? Do you feel what I feel Oh in the city lights Can you hear my heartbeat Oh in the city lights

Out of Time 03:42
World on fire Slowly burning down Every word, every promise Are ashes on the ground Oh we’re out of time I’ll be gone before the night is over You run, I fall behind Nothing left for us now, where do we go My head is spinning Not a word not a sign I go to every shadow, every corner The darkest places in my mind Oh we’re out of time I’ll be gone before the night is over You run, I fall behind Nothing left for us now where do we go I’d take it back I’d take it back If I could I’d take it back I’d take it back Oh we’re out of time...

You open up – Take it back You wave me in and walk away Sweet lips – Sweet lies You keep me waiting Coming on strong And the lights go red Playing with my heart Messing with my head You hide away – Invisible The night goes on The night goes on You’re falling back, I’m trying hard To find a way into your arms Pull the strings And watch me dance Every move I make Under your command Coming on strong And the lights go red Playing with my heart Messing with my head You hide away – Invisible The night goes on The night goes on Lights out – Darkness calls The night goes on The night goes on

Runaway 03:13
Like a fever rising In my burning soul Your secret eyes I can’t take it no more You’re closing in I’m deeper down Lost in the flames There’s no way out but one Let’s runaway tonight – waiting on your call Runaway tonight – I’m ready to go When the darkness falls We drive away The windows down And the moonlight on your face Open roads Endless skies The great escape Keeping us alive Let’s runaway tonight – waiting on your call Runaway tonight – I’m ready to go In my dreams Day and night You’re in my veins Can’t get you out Can you feel my hunger? Come feel my hunger Runaway – when the darkness falls Runaway tonight – waiting on your call Runaway tonight – I’m ready to go

A pat on the back – it’s time to go I try to stand up straight but that’s impossible I can’t get you out of my head, can’t take it no more I never figured it out, never figured it out – no Sinking baby deeper down Losing myself night after night I can’t go back, I can’t move on I never figured it out, never figured it out – no I’m in the dark Without you baby I’m lost Falling down Without you baby I’m lost SOS and the late night calls I try to set it straight though I’m digging a hole Hurting, burning bridges – out of control I’m sorry, I’m sorry, so sorry I’m in the dark Without you baby I’m lost Falling down Without you baby I’m lost Sinking baby deeper down Losing myself night after night I can’t go back, I can’t move on I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry I’m in the dark Without you baby I’m lost Falling down Without you baby I’m lost
6.
Oh the need – Feel the drive That dark place in your mind Can you handle it? Let us breath – Come alive That dark place in your mind Can you handle it? Cold lies and gasoline Going down – It’s time Won’t you follow me Bring the fire, bring bring the fire now Feel the fire, oh feel the fire now Getting lost in the game Pretending that we’re innocent Can you handle it? On a tightrope On a tightrope A tiny slip is all it takes Can you handle it? Going down – It’s time Won’t you follow me Bring the fire, bring bring the fire now Feel the fire, oh feel the fire now
7.
Close to Me 03:28
See you up on the dance floor looking like that You up the dance floor looking like that Come share the silence and a cigarette Come on over, over over ah Got to get out of this place for a one-on-one So take me out of this place for a one-on-one Don’t care who you are or where you from Come on over over over ah I just want you close to me Close to me I feel heat you’re far away I’m burning up you’re so far Come on come on don’t leave me this way I’m burning up you’re far away I just want you close to me Close to me
8.
Distance 03:57
Can’t find the words Let the silence speak Pretending that you sleep Lying next to me You’re awake and so am I So close I hear you breath So out of reach I miss you when you’re here We slowly disappear into the night Say what’s on your mind I’ve felt the distance I’ll be fine I wanna know No need for you stay Don’t waste another day here Let go Now it’s cold, oh so cold In the air, your tired eyes I don’t know you anymore Don’t wait it out, I know it’s hard Cause I been on the other side Afraid to hurt, afraid to fight Not seeing clear, missing out Say what’s on your mind I’ve felt the distance I’ll be fine I wanna know No need for you stay Don’t waste another day here Let go I close my eyes There’s an ocean between us oh

Fourth album by Swedish one-man band The Sweet Serenades, produced by Johannes Berglund. Together they created an album fully loaded with dark vibes, deep vocals and catchy choruses where UK post-punk meets Arena-Indie. The music is inspired by unhappy endings, neon signs and acts such as M83, Tom Petty, Teenage Fanclub, Future Islands and Lana Del Rey.

"The Sweet Serenades are one of those groups where the music and lyrics come hand-in-hand,
with each aspect relying on the other to evoke its full potential and power.”
Consequence of Sound

”Wall-of-sound production of shimmering synths and guitar, the track sounds somewhere between M83 and the National.”
Surviving the Golden Age

”Songs with this many hooks should come with a warning label!”
The Revue

"Runaway is an uplifting anthem that feels triumphant”
We All Want Someone to Shout For

”Best album of the spring is here”
NÖJESGUIDEN

"A reminiscence of the days of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘I’m on Fire’. Bravo!"
Come Here FLoyd

”The Sweet Serenades sends you to a night club oasis in new single, ‘City Lights.’
The beautiful track hooks you in with its heavy drumbeat in the background and the echoing vocals that set the tone.”
Reignland Magazine

”Songs with this many hooks should come with a warning label!”
The Revue

”City Lights really worth listening to, loud and clear, as good songs always ask for.”
Phonograph Me

"Brace yourself for drum loops and pop melodies”
