Where many search for serenity through their sound, Feign Jima creates it, she invites you in for a momentary escape. It is Dream Pop at its most lucid and delicate. Fragments of adored nostalgia lay carefully scattered within each song. However, it is her silky tones that moves the project from the contemplative to the contemporary. With lyrics that float buoyantly atop the mix, calmly demanding attention like eyes drawn to a flickering candle. Sit back and slide into the serenity of Feign Jima.
lyrics
Sit down baby I, I can see your tired
Your energy for life close to expired
Daydreaming of palm trees and warm beaches
A glance of an escape as it breaches your mind
You were young and you needed someone older and wiser, to show you how it's done not let you run.
Called you from the highway, on my way to see you
It's been about 3 weeks what has it come to?
Red wine on the passenger side, stain on her smile
Don't need to tell you that I know it's been a while
You were young and you needed someone older and wiser, to show you how it's done not let you run
