Intro 01:25

Stardust 03:13
A dark night is upon us Will you say “Hey, I’ve got a light”? Shhh… darling, don’t fuss In our world, we can do what feels right But in the real world, we stay out of sight This world, this world, is full of lust This box, this box, is filled with dust This night, just this night, when it’s dark Let us, let us wish upon a star Bitterness hard to swallow Life is but a walking shadow Hamlet pondered “to be, or not to be”? In our world, there will be no lies But in the real world, we are only stardust that dies

Way Way Back 04:35
I don’t wanna go home I need to be alone Is it so strange I don’t wanna talk about my day? Don’t wanna live it again You and I are a different kind I’ll just sit at the way way back Perfect view of what I’ve left behind The way way back The way way back Please don’t care about me I guess I’m trying to say I’m sorry Whenever you ask me about my day I wanna look the other way You and I are a different kind I’ll just sit at the way way back Perfect view of what I’ve left behind The way way back The way way back I can’t go back I can’t go back But I guess that’s fine I guess that’s fine
4.
Old 03:48
You were young, I was younger Then when I grew older, you were just old The last time I held your hand, it was ice cold But when I think of us, our memories are warm I know it’s time for you to go But goodbyes always come too soon I can’t let go I can’t let go You smiled even when life was unkind But I’m not as brave as you, so I shoved us to the back of my mind And I can’t let go I can’t let go of you
5.
Hey there, it’s me I’m trapped, can’t you see? I want to be free but I’m too busy existing You say I’m beautiful but I’m a fake fragile thing Bugs in amber No more anger Bugs in amber No more danger Hello goodbye. Hello goodbye. You say you love me, but why? Pretty thing, mysterious, insidious thing Only in my dreams, I spread my wings Bugs in amber No more anger Bugs in amber No more hunger
6.
Loneliness 03:21
I just wanna touch you Take you away Just for a little while I’ll take you to space if I could There’s always one in loneliness There’s always one in loneliness A leaf falls A leaf falls I wanna take you to your basement Brush the dust off your stored away thoughts I would touch you if I could So you won’t feel alone There’s always one in loneliness There’s always one in loneliness There’s always one in loneliness There’s always one in loneliness A leaf falls… a leaf falls… a leaf falls… A leaf falls… a leaf falls… a leaf falls…

Woke up tired Put some make up on my zombie face Put on my suit, oh no… Don’t forget that fake smile Monday’s a bitch! I don’t wanna go to work Monday’s a bitch! Hamster on a treadmill Stuck on the MTR 本班列車將稍微延遲 Why are my dreams so far? Why don’t I have a car? Monday’s a bitch! I don’t wanna go to work Monday’s a bitch! Hamster on a treadmill Busy and dizzy for the whole day I think I’m getting sick Went to the doctor, he said “you just got a case of the Monday blues” Monday, Mundane, Monday, Mundane, Monday, Mundane, Monday… Monday’s a bitch!

3 is a Party 02:07
Shadow, shadow, come out and play The moon is here, we should celebrate We can dance in the moonlight I know your beat is the same as mine 3 is a party 3 is a party We can hide from the world We can’t hide from tomorrow The world turns away from the moon When I close my eyes, you’ll be gone too But tonight is the night we come alive You can make odd shapes and I can sing 3 is a party 3 is a party We can hide from the world We can’t hide from tomorrow 3 is a party 3 is a party We can hide from the world We can’t hide from tomorrow
9.
Cat Café 03:52
You are my treasure I can’t even measure Somehow, I’m always the one chasing You’re only still when you sleep Cat café How come you don’t heal me? Cat café How come I feel so lonely? You are my treasure I can’t even measure Cat café How come you don’t heal me? Cat café How come I feel so lonely?
10.
Don’t wanna fall asleep and face the shattered hopes and dreams that tomorrow will bring Eyes open but I can’t see Sunday is gone Everything has come undone Sunday is gone Mundane days last so long Roll around in my bed But can’t get rid of all the dread that tomorrow will bring Mouth open but I can’t speak Sunday is gone Everything has come undone Sunday is gone Mundane days last so long There is no meaning Everything on repeat I live and die and live and die again Only thing waiting is that Monday morning train Sunday, someday, Sunday, someday… Sunday, someday, Sunday… Sunday is gone
11.
Waves 03:02
Every other day I walk alone in misty lands And then I spend my nights with my feet stuck in wet sand Sometimes in weakness I reach for your hand And the other hours they repeat again and again They push me into the raging sea Cold waters and no mercy Silence is the loudest scream Don’t worry, in the waves I’ll always find me Every other night I fly towards the moon And then I spend my days dreaming I will arrive soon Sometimes in sorrow I hide in my cocoon Humming the same tune Humming the same tune
12.
When I see tears streaming down your face I think of waterfalls high rivers low Then I dream of grapes turning blue The fake, the real, the lies What do you see behind those eyes? Then I dream of grapes turning blue Sometimes you gotta lose your mind to find your freedom The fake, the real, the lies Blue… blue… blue… All I see is blue
13.
So It Goes 03:00
Blue and ivory Blue and ivory The thin membrane between life and death is where we sleep Impossible to breathe Impossible to see The jabbering bird only says “poo-tee-weet” So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes Asphyxiation Incineration Tralfamadorians say “time is not a linear progression” Can we really choose to sink to the bottom of the pool? Powerlessness for both the wise man and the fool So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes There is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre. Everybody is supposed to be dead, to never say anything or want anything ever again. Everything is supposed to be very quiet after a massacre, and it always is, except for the birds. And what do the birds say? “Poo-tee-weet”.

about

Just as it is not easy to fully describe a person, the music So It Goes creates does not neatly fit into a single box. Dark, psychedelic, spacious, melancholic but ultimately somewhat hopeful – the three pessimistic optimists have finally released their debut album. The concept of the album is to create a room - a safe space where fellow dreamers, philosophers and loners are free to roam, reflect and feel. It is where So It Goes deposited their feelings, thoughts and dreams – however insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, in the room these are bared and centered for those who wish to enter.
