Lord Waverly

Melodic, catchy, bittersweet. A modern singer/songwriter. Along the lines of Elliott Smith, Belle & Sebastian, Eric Matthews, Nick Drake, Badly Drawn Boy...

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, Lord Waverly operates by a strong asthetic rooted in modern architecture: Simplify, then repeat. Their lyrics are delicate and melodies are fragile, pretty little things that conjure emotions connected to childhood and innocence, while remaining connected to the more bittersweet relationships we encounter throughout adulthood.

Lyrics

last night i wished for a better place to be
but i don't have that luxury
and each night i write a new tragedy
so cry tears of joy for me

i'm not the man that i planned to be
and each day i wake up next to me
this apple fell a mile from the tree
so cry tears of joy for me

i loved a girl but she didn't love me
i am the man she could not see
but i pretend that i set her free
so cry tears of joy for me

my sense of humor is what sustains me
i am the fool of centuries 
this song can never return to the "C"
so cry tears of joy for me...
