about
Melbourne Songwriter/ Producer James McGuffie A.K.A. 'Mcrobin.'
'In' is the lead single from Mcrobin's forthcoming debut EP Fault Lines. Expect to hear nylon string guitars collide with vintage synths and subtle arpeggios to create a bed for intimate vocals that evolve from spoken word verses to soaring harmonised falsetto choruses.
The track was recorded at Mcrobin's home studio with the help of co-producer Jim Rindfleish, before being passed onto the experienced hands of Matt Voigt (Big Scary/ Oh Mercy/ The Twerps).
Mcrobin's explanation of the song: "Lyrically, 'In' is a tribute to the people who manage to still bring warmth and happiness to a relationship or circumstance despite the cold and bitterness they are feeling within themselves."
lyrics
It’s cold in there
So you just sit there and stare
And you know it’s old
You wait for someone else
You stole my air
Like you always do
But you won’t be cold
With you hand upon my pulse
I don’t believe in your smile
I believe in your frown
I believe that I’m here, to turn it upside down
Leave room for joy
Leave room for me
To find, to find our love
It worked on the world
And it worked on me
Now it’s time to let your smile make you happy
With your hair to your hips
And my love on your lips
I don’t believe in your smile
I believe in your frown
I believe that I’m here, to turn it upside down
Morning comes before you wake
and the moment begins to break
I’ll never let you down
Minutes pass, the empty glass
Send a rainbow to the grass
I know it while its there
'Cause I’m not whole
If you’re not home
I didn't believe in your smile
I believed in your frown
Now that I’m here, I'll turn it upside down
You’ll leave room for joy
You’ll leave room for me
To find, to find, our love
