I used to have a meaning for every single little thing
Now I find some comfort in surreal liberty
I see the reflection of a young self-conscious guy
In the scattering of lights up in the sky
With eyes closed, feeling the hysteria
With eyes closed, getting high on agonists
And the feeling dissipates, it never really was there
And the feeling dissipates, so I take off into space and stay in
Reverie (x3)
An old man told me eventually that beauty never lasts
No matter how many flowers blossom, how many simply die
So burn all the fuckers and throw their ashes up to the sky
All the beauty lies in dreams and you can only see the beauty when you’re in
Reverie (x4)

At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu

I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack. Leading Motive
