about

An indie pop twist to the jazz standard “Someone to Watch Over Me," recorded partly in our bedroom closet and partly in studio. A unique self-produced take on the Gershwin tune made famous by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, this single is an old-fashioned love song reinvented with a modern spin, accentuated by a mix of bedroom pop and folk stylings. This is one of our all-time favorite songs and we’re excited to contribute to its legacy.

lyrics

"There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be
The man some girls think of as handsome
To my heart, he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me"

Deer Fellow Austin, Texas

Deer Fellow is an indie folk-pop duo with a “keen sense of song craft.” Based out of Austin, bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, piano) met at an open mic and were quick to collaborate. Fast forward to present day and coupledom, the two have built a cross-genre sound that “pulls you in right away, stirring romance and broken hearts.” ... more
