about

Produced and mixed by STEPHAN (known for “Daytrip,” a collaboration with Current Blue), “Take Off Your Glasses" is a dreamy, surfy alt-pop track about falling infatuated with a very busy person. Singer-songwriter Michael Glines delivers sweet if not-too-cryptic lyrics through guttural baritone vocals that transcend into cloudy falsettos, supported by a blend of crystal clean guitars reminiscent of Built to Spill and vintage synths that hint at Tame Impala.

lyrics

There’s a fault in the earth
That wasn’t there when I met you
But something broke in my world
I can’t repair until I can get you
To take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
To take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down

There's a star in your sky
That only shines to guide your time
But if you can spare some to share your answer
Could it be fair if I were to ask you
To forget about the numbers and call back
Call back
Forget about the numbers and call back
Call back

You haven’t seen still the half of what’s in me
And I know you haven’t been imagining what we could be
And I haven’t seen still a quarter of what’s in you
But you know I’ve always been imagining what we could do

And you could too if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down

There was a fire in my house
A quake and a drought brought to burn it down
But somebody spoke out into the smoke and
I woke up choking and since I’ve found

That when I forget about the numbers I breathe again
I can breathe again
When I forget about the numbers I breathe again
I can breathe again

You haven’t seen still the half of what’s in me
And I know you haven’t been imagining what we could be
And I haven’t seen still a quarter of what’s in you
But you know I’ve always been imagining what we could do

And you could too if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could too if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
You could if you take off your glasses and lay down
Lay down
Lay down

VUES Los Angeles, California

Vues are an indie alt rock/pop quartet from Los Angeles, California. Pulling sometimes from the dark troubled soul of old blues as well as the glimmering dreamy guitar and synth tones of 1980s new wave, their live performances are often described as hypnotic and physically captivating. ... more
