How you fly
How you swoon
You are touched, the perfect one
You’re beautiful
You’re divine
Diamond cool
There’s nobody else who does it
Quite like you
With your smile you’re the perfect escape
You feed our senses
And we swallow
Oh but it’s hard to forget
It’s so cold here
In your shadow
All that shines
Shines on you
You’re the one we know
Can make our dreams come true
And you’re always there to show us the way
You make the changes , and we follow
Oh you’re so perfect and yet
It’s cold here
I’m so alone here
In your shadow
You lead a wonderful life I’m sure
As you keep on reminding us all
With your pose and your style and your grace
You’re the saviour
Of the whole human race
And the camera whirls
And you’re there in the next glossy page
And your wisdom spews out
From up high in your own gilded cage
With your head in the clouds it’s a wonderful view
But you’re only as good
As your last photo shoot
I just wish you’d fuck off
Go now, get out of my face
And I try to escape but I keep getting caught
I want to escape but I keep getting caught
I just have to escape but I keep getting caught
In your shadow
In your shadow
In your shadow

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
