How can you sit there And let this happen? Hmm How can you sit there And let this happen? Hmm Ooh thought I knew ya Ooh thought I knew ya Stop You're taking it too far All it takes is a spark Then watch it burn How can you sit there And let this happen? Ooh How can you sit there? Hmm All it takes is a spark Then watch it burn All it takes is a spark Then watch it burn All it takes is a spark Ooh How can you sit there?

Smile 03:53

Smile Golden as the sunset on your face Smile Quick before the moment gets away Smile Saturated highs begin to fade Smile Over-compensating for the darkness Smile Ooh Smile Smile Hard to keep the subject in the frame Smile Especially when you're cropping all the negative space Smile Lost among your socials, can it wait? Smile Not enough exposure, only darkness Smile Ooh Smile Ooh Smile Can't replace the memory of this place Smile Can't replace the memory of this place

Make It Better 04:18
lyrics

Don't look now Has everyone gone crazy? A fire's raging It's out of our control A tired song I can't get out of my head A piece of gum that's Sticking to my sole Ooh something ain't right Ooh something ain't right But you can make it better You can make it better You can make it better Only you can make it better Slowly fade Fade into the background Drowning out But always present It's coming back around now Ooh something ain't right Ooh something ain't right But you can make it better You can make it better You can make it better Only you can make it better

Magpie 04:09
lyrics

Tell me what they're saying about you Makes you wanna fly away Even though you didn't deserve it They just wanna call you names "Dirty bird" That's the word That's what I heard No wonder you're a fighter! (They don't know you any better) Will it get any worse When will they learn That they're so misguided? (They don't know you any better) Typical misunderstanding Don't know where you're coming from Automatically assuming But I think we got it wrong You're somewhere in-between The black and white of your feathers You're somewhere in-between But they don't know any better Typical misunderstanding Don't know where you're coming from Innocent 'till proven guilty What is it they say you've done? You're somewhere in-between The black and white of your feathers You're somewhere in-between But they don't know any better

Cold Weightless Alone Naked Unknown Shaking Let it go Feel it In your bones Shiver Now you're numb to it Now you're numb to it Right? Shiver Can we dive in slow? I don't know Shiver Does it always feel this cold? I don't know I don't know I don't know I'll dip my toes in for a minute Might get my clothes wet while I'm in it I don't know how to quit when I'm winning I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright now Feeling right, feeling right now I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright now Feeling right now I'll dip my toes in for a minute Just for a minute Shiver Can we dive in slow? I don't know Shiver Why's it gotta be so cold? I'll dip my toes in for a minute Might get my clothes wet while I'm in it I don't know how to quit when I'm winning I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright now Feeling right, feeling right now I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright now Feeling right now I'll dip my toes in for a minute Just for a minute

Slowly walk away that's what you wanted Call it, call it No it's not ok, but it's cathartic Call it, call it Sell it to the room, I'll always be the one Call it! The end of something good, that's what we'll call it Call it Call it Finger on a flame, and I can't hold it Call it Look the other way, but that don't calm it Call it You have yourself to blame, so don't come crawling Call it There was something here, but it's time we call it Call it Call it Slowly walk away, that's what you wanted No it's not ok, but it's cathartic Call it Call it Sell it to the room, I'll always be the one Call it call it The end of something good, that's what we'll call it Call it Call it Finger on a flame and I can't hold it Call it There was something here, why did you call it? There was something here, why did you call it?

7:30 Flippin' pages What's the hurry? That shit's contagious And on a Sunday mornin' All I know Don't give a shit about it now Heaven help me I don't need answers Don't have to tell me To mind my manners Cause none of that matters now Oh Heaven help me I'll outgrow it And if it's heavy now I'll hold it It's never-ending And complicated So stop pretending You comprehend it And the meaning of it all Oh Heaven help me I'll outgrow it And if it's heavy now I'll hold it Aah ooh

I don't believe in all the hype Most the time I only buy it if I need it That's a lie Ah ah ah Promises promises Change your life All of this all of this "Simplified" Ah ah ah Ooh I tried I know I'm probably over-thinking it Ooh sometimes It's so simple it's complicated Is there a method to the madness? Show my how If you have some kind of magic button Push it now Ah ah ah Promises promises Can't you tell? All of this all of this This is hell Ah ah ah Ooh I tried I know I'm probably over-thinking it Ooh sometimes It's so simple it's complicated Ooh I tried I know I'm always over-thinking it Ooh sometimes It's so simple it's complicated

Thin Air 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Lately you've been quiet Head up in the clouds I picture you a pilot Wonder when you're coming down Hanging in the distant Phosphorescent sky I blink and then I've missed it You were always bound to fly Thin air Thin air Thin air Are you going somewhere? Did we lose direction? Drifted up too high? Another missed connection Tired of waiting to arrive But I don't wanna lose you And I don't wanna leave it Up in the air, the air, the air Thin air, thin air, thin air Thin air Thin air Thin air Are you going somewhere? When did all this get so clear? Don't you go and disappear Ooh Thin air Thin air Thin air Are you going somewhere?

Digging a hole If I keep on going It might explode There's no way of knowing I sew it up And survey the damage But the final word You've just gotta have it It's ready to blow Don't freak out Don't freak out Digging a hole If I keep on going It might explode There's no way of knowing Don't freak out Don't freak out

Kael Alden, The Kount - Until You Realize... 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I'm taking a ride Counting the miles I'm dealing with something heavy I'll be alright Just gimme a while I'm takin it slow and steady Cause problems they multiply So put em on the pyre Just leave it all behind Until you realize... Love is a sacrifice And I wanna play fire God it would be so nice Until you realize... Sit by the fire Empty inside Searching my soul gets messy Gotta get mine Once in a while But wanting control feels petty Until you realize... Problems they multiply So put em on the pyre Just leave it all behind Until you realize... Love is a sacrifice And I wanna play with fire God it would be so nice Until you realize... Until you realize...

about

As a longtime member of indie-electro band Faded Paper Figures, Kael Alden has always had a knack for rich synth tones and catchy hooks. Now Kael has ventured out on his own to explore a deeply emotive writing style, one that "oozed and melted out of the traumas of the pandemic" as he puts it. Kael's solo debut "Saturated Highs" blends elements of synthwave, soul, and RnB, striking an intriguing balance between retro nostalgia and modern pop.
