about

"Sonder" is a word created by the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows to describe the emotion of knowing that "every person, particularly strangers passed by in public, has a complex and rich life story in which they are the protagonist and others fill secondary roles".

lyrics

This is the story of everyone else
With extras passing by
In the scene of one's eye

Directors cast an ensemble production
Pulling stars from the fertile soil
There have always been diamonds elsewhere
The cutting room floor has shots of you

This is the story of everyone else
With extras passing by
In the scene of one's eye

Decommission illusions of grandeur
A hero's journey ends in the middle
Folk tales are respun for new audiences
For all to see themselves in clear view

If The Streets were darker and experimental. Brooding with wintery chillwave synths, powerful beats and cutting words. Soft Construction

The Life Manual EP

Dama Scout EP
by Dama Scout

A jagged but pretty collection with lots of neat effects and warm, sweet personality. Listen for an exquisite fusion of noise and shoegaze and indie pop. Soft Construction
