about
ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS TRACK WILL GO TO THE PASADENA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION'S EATON FIRE RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND: pasadenacf.org/funds/eaton-canyon-fire-relief-recovery-fund/
I'm donating all proceeds from this track towards LA fire relief because I live very close to the Eaton fire here in east LA and know personally so many people, many of whom are artists like me, who lost everything. You can buy the track for as little as a dollar or as much as your heart and wallet can agree on! Thank you in advance!
This is my first single as Kelcey Ayer (previously known from Local Natives and Jaws of Love.). I wrote this song about my first few weeks of becoming a father back in early 2023. Please subscribe to my page, I'd love for you to hear all the music that's coming very soon.
love, Kelcey

lyrics
Lyrics:
One second ago you were debating between It’s Not TV shows to watch first
Now it’s multiple diophantine equations at Mach 5 one mile above the Earth
Was it a plane, a cannon, a tandem skydiver? To go solo you need your jumps first
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Love is equal to the oxygen you breathe as you flail through the atmosphere
Moving past you as fast as doldrum winds are all of your deepest fears
Sleep deprivation slowly does you in, but chewing gum at least helps with your ears
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Looking back
What I had
Is it bad
To want it back?
Is it?
What is this?
Spent a lifetime
Looking skyward
Now I’m up here
Making spirals
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
The horizon might be blurring constantly but one thing remains clear
Everytime
I see
My green eyes
In your green eyes
Oooooo
Everytime I see your green eyes
I’ve been waiting for you
One second ago you were debating between It’s Not TV shows to watch first
Now it’s multiple diophantine equations at Mach 5 one mile above the Earth
Was it a plane, a cannon, a tandem skydiver? To go solo you need your jumps first
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Love is equal to the oxygen you breathe as you flail through the atmosphere
Moving past you as fast as doldrum winds are all of your deepest fears
Sleep deprivation slowly does you in, but chewing gum at least helps with your ears
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Looking back
What I had
Is it bad
To want it back?
Is it?
What is this?
Spent a lifetime
Looking skyward
Now I’m up here
Making spirals
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
What is this?
The horizon might be blurring constantly but one thing remains clear
Everytime
I see
My green eyes
In your green eyes
Oooooo
Everytime I see your green eyes
I’ve been waiting for you
