about

Inspired by the video game of the same name, "Unravel" is a song about confronting anxiety and working together to tackle mental obstacles. Driven by a mix of folk and bedroom pop stylings, the lyrics dive into the fear of overwhelm and the importance of vulnerability. Opening up to someone else might be the fix you need, not only to mend your own troubles but theirs as well. Set to layered guitars and bursts of violin, the track embodies the phrase "it's okay to not be okay," especially considering there are so many others in the same boat. This is the first song of our upcoming EP, Unraveling.

lyrics

"Every single day you feel your nerves a-creeping
They’re on the way, you’d rather be day dreaming
Wouldn’t that be nice but when you’re self-aware you can’t, you’re antsy
Every single night, looking for a reason
Not to run and hide, wish it all was pretend
Wouldn’t that be grand but when you’re self aware it can’t be
You're antsy, you can’t see a way out
You’re unraveling, but it's alright
Grab your thread as you unwind
Take the end and tie it to mine
We'll make something good of a bad time
You can feel the urge to dive into the deep end
But that's absurd when you're no good at swimming
Wouldn’t it be great to stay afloat and never sink, but you're flailing
Take another breath so you can remember
Don't give in yet, don't you dare surrender
More can be done despite the fact you're antsy
You can breathe slowly throughout
You’re unraveling, but it's alright
Grab your thread as you unwind
Take the end and tie it to mine
We'll make something good of a bad time
Unwinding ain't all that bad
We're finding ways to adapt
And finally bridging the gap"

about

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
