Honest

by Pei

supported by

Tommy Faith I live for a vocal that has this much character. No overcoat of varnish, Joji opts instead for some light layering and a relationship between vocal and instrumentation that feels like pure and true. Honest even? Stop it. Speaking of that instrumentation though, it's gonna take me a few listens to really get to the bottom of it between bells, chimes, whistles, lightly plucked guitars, electrics and driving percussion. A really special record.

Ain't slept this evening It's like we're trying get on a call Still up and it's morning Trying to get the signal to work I ask if it's something You tell me that is nothing at all But I see that it's something That you're quietly resigned about I wanna try and be honest A friend would wanna in return If there's something you're feeling Please trying and let me know You're turning yourself now Into something I ain't seen before Although this is new to me Might be something that was there before You couldn't Be honest You told me You promised I'm hurting In solace Don't silence the love we have It's the day that I'm leaving Getting ready for a plane to board Stare at the ceiling I see the ceiling staring back It says do you want this There's things I rather would let go Although there's seas within me I'm better than I was before It hasn't been easy No longer can I feel your warmth I thought we were closer It doesn't even feel like we're close What I'm seeing and hearing Two contending conversations now If I promise to be real with you Would it go back to how it was before? I couldn't Be honest I told you I promised (You're turning now to something else) You're hurting In solace Don't silence the love we have I'm back from my travels Getting by, barely staying a float Call to see how you're doing Get a drink at Ridley Road I say you didn't deserve it You struggle with a lot I'm sure I can see you're doing better now And we're more honest than we were before (You're turning now to something else I've never seen before) It Wouldn't honest To hold on to problems (You're turning now to something else I've never seen) There's always Tomorrow Now tell me It's not that bad You couldn't Be honest You told me You promised I'm hurting In solace Don't silence the love we have I couldn't Be honest I told you I promised You're hurting In solace Don't silence the love we have It Wouldn't Be honest To hold on To problems There's always Tomorrow Now tell me It's not that bad

Pei Sydney, Australia

Pei [pron. pay] - a Fijian word for baby - is a homecoming, a returning to the roots and to the ground from where Malani came from.

After almost a decade of writing in studios and touring the world, he nestled up inside of the home studio of close friend and longtime collaborator, Tim Fitz (Middle Kids), to bring Pei to life. ... more
