The Damp Linen - Faye Mertens (Official Audio)

the last held breath of a long summer day, hand still on the latch 🌊 Warm tropical-house at 114 BPM with plucked synths, soft mallets and finger-snaps, made for the drive home from the coast. Listen to the full catalog:    / @fayemertensmusic   stay at the latch... the car is parked, the engine is idling, and neither of you has opened the trunk yet. you keep your hand on the latch just to stay in the day a little longer. touching the damp beach towels means the trip is officially over, so you wait. you keep your fingers resting near my hand. the gravel parking lot is cooling down and the light is slowly sinking. for two people who drove four hours home and are not ready to say goodbye to the coast. that quiet second when the silence between you is getting full. salt drying white on the glass while you wish you were heading back for more. put it on when the trip is over and neither of you is ready to unpack. if you like warm tropical house and soft melodic pop, this one sits right beside them. have you ever stalled at the end of a trip because leaving the moment felt too soon? warm plucked synths, soft mallets and a round kick, all sun-faded and gentle. a soft breathy soprano carries the fading colors of the day. who is going to lift the latch and set the evening free first? Lyrics And the damp linen stays right in the trunk While all the light around us slowly sunk The gravel parking lot is cooling down We drove four hours straight away from town The rubber mats are heavy with the sand You keep your fingers resting near my hand We leave the engine idling in the dark Right underneath the single parking mark You do not reach inside to lift the load Just staring down the asphalt of the road And the damp linen stays right in the trunk While all the light around us slowly sunk We leave the beach towels folded in the shade Afraid to move before the colors fade Just standing here beside the open door Wishing that we were heading back for more The salt is drying white upon the glass We watch the evening shadows slowly pass Your jacket zipper catches on the wool The silence between us is getting full We leave the engine idling in the dark Right underneath the single parking mark You do not reach inside to lift the load Just staring down the asphalt of the road And the damp linen stays right in the trunk While all the light around us slowly sunk We leave the beach towels folded in the shade Afraid to move before the colors fade Just standing here beside the open door Wishing that we were heading back for more One simple touch will make the summer end We have no other messages to send Just waiting for the moment to agree To lift the latch and set the evening free And the damp linen stays right in the trunk While all the light around us slowly sunk We leave the beach towels folded in the shade Afraid to move before the colors fade Just standing here beside the open door Wishing that we were heading back for more Faye Mertens is a virtual artist.
