Slow Song 02:55
I won't say I'm sorry for the way things have turned out. Don't you pull that face at me, a smile wrapped in a pout.  Keep your windows off my hips and your door frames off my neck--don't try to build a home in me, I promise it'll wreck.  I wish I could love as Orpheus, as Cupid, as Alcyone, but I'm rather afraid that I'm the serpent, the hot oil, the violent sea. And you may try with all your might, but your hands cannot tame me.  My valleys will remain uninhabited; my hills unoccupied. For if my body is your monopoly board, then the world won't ever be mine. A look into your earnest eyes, heavy with the weight of why we shouldn't try.  I wish I could love as Orpheus, as Cupid, as Alcyone, but I'm rather afraid that I'm the serpent, the hot oil, the violent sea. And you may try with all your might, but your hands cannot tame me.  I wish I could swim through the clouds in your eyes and fall in love with ease. You may try--oh, please, do try, but those pretty hands won't keep me. But those pretty hands won't keep me.

Hey, honey, look at me now. I don't see how I lost my first place trophy in your heart. I did what I was supposed to; what all the magazines say to. But what can I say? It wasn't enough to keep you.  I can't stand what I've become. Here I am standing like some naive little girl in her fairy tale world, but the fantasy has crashed and burned.  So I keep on telling myself that I'll be just fine eating on my own, sleeping on my own, being on my own. And I don't need anyone, just me and the sun. Yeah, watch me have fun, fun, fun without you.  I wish you would implore, say that you'll miss me more, say that you adore me and want me to stick around. Oh, I'll just have to ignore the way I see you in every bike and ladder and cupcake batter I see in town.  So what? Maybe for now I'm blue, but one day it'll be true, and my thoughts won't be imbued with hues of you.  But until that day comes, I'll keep on telling myself that I'll be just fine eating on my own, sleeping on my own, being on my own. And I don't need anyone, just me and the sun. Yeah, watch me have fun, fun, fun without you. Can't wait to have fun, fun, fun without you.

Toes tap on linoleum floor; I listen to you as your voice soars, singing, "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be." I can't imagine a universe without us together, you and me.  I love you like all the clichés, to the moon and back. I love you more than there are fish in the sea. I love you like all the clichés, as deep as the ocean. Oh dear, to my heart, you have the key.  Singing, "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be." I can't imagine a universe without us together, you and me.  I love you like all the clichés, to the highest mountain top. I love you more than there are stars in the sky. I love you like all the clichés, as the earth loves the sun. Such an angel, oh I'm sure you could fly.  Singing, "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be." I can't imagine a universe without us together, you and me.  TV on in the background, but you are the most important sound, singing "Que sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be." I can't imagine a universe without us together, you and me.

about

Mostly Blankets is Candy Isle's first EP, the product of years of friendship and a summer of music. Mostly Blankets has three original songs and is therefore mostly made up of covers (hence the EP name).

We hope you all enjoy this as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you! Feel free to pay as much or as little as you'd like! Check out our FaceBook page to find out about our upcoming events!

about

Candy Isle Rochester, New York

Candy Isle’s official inception took place the summer of 2017, after college friends Kat and Lydia decided to take their ideas of covering songs and make it a reality. Two years later, Candy Isle has evolved from an acoustic indie duo to a full fledged, plugged-in trio with the addition of Allison on the bass. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify! Thanks for visiting! ... more
