Ways To Get Out
by Far Caspian

Ways to Get Out is the key to the heart of every wistful spirit, of every daydreamer whose rose-coloured past - and exultant hopes for the future - is the guiding force of their present. Nostalgia, tenderly threaded through each track, is the lifeblood of the album. Tracks such as Get Along & Attempt, in all their sun-kissed bliss, carry the listener on a journey of bittersweet memory and the ache of love, whether lost or found. Undoubtedly, Johnston has gifted the world with his magnum opus.
Favorite track: Attempt.

I'm Not Where I Need
03:53
|
|||
|
You came up
Inside our home
And everything you own
All of what I know
Its hard to ask
About those things
When I all I feel is numb
Always on my phone
So clearly
The way that I could be
Led by Misery
Stuck round for less
And hope for the best
Im not where I need
Changing by the sea

Keep it in the bottle
Hide from all the friends I keep
I don’t need a legacy
I just need to get some sleep
Keep it in the bottle
Hide from all the friends I keep
I don’t need a legacy
I just need to get some sleep
Keep it from the bottom
Hide behind the friends I see
I wish I was where I need
I just think its never been
Keep it from the bottom
Hide behind the friends I see
I wish I was where I need
I just think its never been
Oh, we’ll repair it on the run
Oh, we’ll repair it just for fun
I get up
And come around
And make pretend Im welcome
We fell out, we fell down
You look at me like I’m a ghost
I get up
And come around
And make pretend Im welcome
We fell out, we fell down
You look at me like I’m a ghost
I get up
And come around
And make pretend Im welcome
We fell out, we fell down
You look at me like I’m a ghost
I get up
And come around
And make pretend Im welcome
We fell out, we fell down
You look at me like I’m a ghost

Get Along

How long till I overcome?
All the high risk
You never seem to know
When Im hiding
Its getting all too old
Something like that, like that
I don’t even want
You’re getting by alone
I couldn’t be your left side
I never tried to understand the words that were lost on
I couldn’t be your left side
Taking apart the pieces that were
Like it was
All beside the soul
Breaking at the bridges
Im just running from
But how much will I get up?
How much will I tell for having all?
15 till its over now
Im breaking down the what ifs in my mind
You’re getting by alone
And you always say
I couldn’t be your left side
Its only when you need someone to hold
But its not there
Distract myself from
The one you see when Im tired
Get in the door before it rains out
|
||||
4. |
||||
|
Its always time to head
And all
Something that I know
How long till I?
How long will I try?
And I’m filling up the edge
With socialites on top
And I’m feeling close to this
How long of following the trend?
How long?
When you start trying to piece it to an end
Oh, were figuring out
Everything about, everything about
|

5. |

|
Turn off the lights again
I’m Falling off
I never thought I did
But I guess not
And it’s always, you fall apart
It’s the old days
That keep you warm
I never lasted more than you thought
I’m less alone
Everybody turns from the wall
Reaching for the fault from afar
Left on a broken note you hide your hand
I scraped the skin off of the only strand
But it’s ok, you’ve had enough
Getting on your, getting on your own
I never had a thing to pull from
I’m less alone
Everybody turns from the wall
Reaching for the fault from afar
You know you’d do it for her

Wandering out
Take for granted
Did I refuse myself,
or is that just how?
All the planning,
did you like that?
Did I begin to break,
As all the things passed away?
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
Hold out
Ill be right there
Feel like I’ve been only
Inside where I hold it
Good find while I call
How long are you waiting?
Tell that I’ve been off
Look by, under-felt
Good for making more
Come down and waste with me
All you can wait and see
You never liked me
And Im so tired I’m barely here at all
So un-required the feelings I control
On the side, I never want to know
Goodbye
Come down and waste with me
All you can wait and see
You never liked me
Come down and waste with me
All you can wait and see
You never liked me
|

It’s all that I have got
You pressed it in my side
As I begin to rot
You came on by
The words they feel so stale
Our Past Lives
Return onto a way
To hold on time
Don’t you ever feel,
How could this be real?
And why should I reveal?
Waiting for the time
All of my lifetime
All of my lifetime
It’s all that I am not
Forget the words you tried
As I begin to talk
You make your mind
So tired of turning pale
Our past lives
Return to how it stays
To hold on mine
Don’t you ever feel,
How could this be real?
And why should I reveal?
Waiting for the time
All of my lifetime
All of my lifetime

Brother
02:53

Brother please
Will you stay with me?
Stay and see it isn’t what you know
Stay inside
Where I find reside
You could help me by
Letting me look up
Lonely have I, been my whole life
Tell me how it gets better in time
Its always like you said, Im better out of my head
I’m out of my head
No I,
Getting into daytime
Im finding my own strength
Only if I speak the way you told it
Im barely even focused
I know I never say that
But your the one I see
And what’s all this noise?
Im hearing my own voice
Tell him how it is now brother
And listen when I say
Im getting out of my head
And all this seems to help me out of my own

Moon Tower
05:05
|
|||
|
I’ll follow you into
The dark
The light is shining through
Your arms
And every time I call
The old Moon Tower
You are always there
You’re always warm
Go on ahead everyone knows
Go on ahead everyone knows
You’re on your own
Go on ahead
Go on ahead everyone knows
I’ll follow you into
The dark
The sun is shining through
The car
And in 10 years time
Will this mean anything to us?
Cause I’m out of control
It doesn’t matter how much
Go on ahead everyones gone
Go on ahead everyones gone
And you’re on your own
|

Reach You
03:02
|
|||
|
Just as I awake
You know I
Was always wrong
Find it hard to break
And so I think
On the phone
I will reach you
For the words don’t seem to know
I will reach you
After all
Feel it coming down
So I say
You never won
Breaking at the old
Smile and pose
Its like you all
Its like you
I will reach you
For my words don’t seem to hold
I will reach you
As the words start coming up
As the words start filling up
|
||||
12. |

Dont think too much
Understand it only takes a while your down
I feel it all
Something takes hold
Every time there’s people like us
Tell me when you’re seeing the fall out from this
Your skin and bones
Questioning it all, again
But its so hard to find the time
Hard to find it even when you feel like you’ve won
Leave it on the side by its own to fall out
You’re selling everything you own
Hows it feeling?
You never seemed to find a home
Nothings real now
You’re selling everything you own
Hows it feeling?
Hows it feeling now?
Hows it feeling now?

Built by Design
01:33
|
|||
|
Stay by the fire
Won’t be a while
Oh I know
Time moves slow
Afraid of the light
Built by design
To lose control
Oh I know
And sometimes I feel I’m hanging on
And all the times we had
Now you’re gone
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
See these plans I’ve made for you
See you smiling, what a view
If we close our eyes then
That’s all we can do
I don’t know what this presence is
But all of me has entered in
Im seeing now the things that
Could tell us how to dim
Let me lean on God
Let me wait for love
Out of space isnt far away
We could go there in march or may
Then id be closer to the things that are in my head
Faith restored from start to end
She smiles politely to her friend
This is all I needed
To feel something new again
Let me lean on God
Let me wait for love
Oh, it took long enough to mend
I keep falling off
Was it something that I said?
Its so easy to judge
Let me lean on God
Let me wait for love

House
04:17
|
|||
|
I don’t like
Much about this town
Its not, for me
You sit on this fence line
Tell me its just for a while
Waiting for a punchline to write
Im just bored
I don’t like
Much about myself
Im not,
Strong enough to want to get out
All I see is my house
Waiting for her to arrive
Im bored
|
||||
16. |

I was in the air
Called me when you found it
Pulling out your hair
It fell down around you
Colder now, in the summer
Harder now you’re not around
Couldn’t find the nerve
To tell you how I’m feeling
Saw you laying there
Staring at the ceiling
Older now, in a sun room
Wishing that you were still around
Folded up in your own head
Waiting here for you to make a sound
I was in the air
Called me when you found it
Age doesn’t seem to care
You felt so astounded
Colder now, by the lake home
Time just seemed to take its toll
Wondering how you felt then
Wondering how to hear your soul
And oh, there it is
Your gone in the evening
|
||||
17. |
||||

Hold out
Ill be right there
Feel like I’ve been only
Inside where I hold it
Good find while I call
How long are you waiting?

Good for making more
Come down and waste with me
All you can wait and see
You never liked me
And Im so tired I’m barely here at all
So un-required the feelings I control
On the side, I never want to know
Goodbye
Come down and waste with me
All you can wait and see
You never liked me
Come down and waste with me
All you can wait and see
You never liked me

about
The debut album from Far Caspian.
From Joel (Far Caspian):
I began writing for this album in Feb 2020. The original plan was to write/record between the tours that had been planned for the year but by March everything was starting to get cancelled. This gave me a whole a year to fully focus on making a record. I was originally really inspired by 90’s shoe gaze like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and wanted to try do a new version of that. But within a few months I realised I would only be pigeon holing myself by labelling it as a shoe gaze record. I began gravitating more towards Alternative music from the early to mid 2000’s like The Postal Service, The Radio Dept, Broken Social Scene and The Walkmen. This felt more like home for me in terms of nostalgia because although I was born in the 90’s, I can’t really remember much of it! My music Nostalgia starts around 2003. I wanted to try and create a record that had hints of that time period in it whilst still holding on to what people had known me for up to this point.
The Album as a whole is about the things I’ve came across in my twenties but can be applied to any transitional period in life. Some topics I cover are depression and anxiety, tired relationships that have probably been dragged out for too long, feeling stuck within a scenario and place, Nostalgia and wishing things were easy like childhood, rejecting your identity and becoming someone else, chronic illness, family dynamics, death and religion.
‘Ways to get out’ is whatever the listener wants it to be…Ways to get out of a small town, Ways to get out of a relationship, ways to get out of your own head.
