about

Multi-instrumentalist, producer and unlicensed pharmacist Tommy Graf releases his second single “By the Sea”. With remnants of Shoegaze and Post-Punk boasts “warped tuning, distorted Tangerine Dream synths and a calm layered vocal”  Throughout “By the Sea,” Graf’s voice is soft and haunting, singing: "I wanna live where there's no pollution // I wanna live where there's no delusion."

“It's about being so exhausted by the terror of humanity and our releationship with Mother Earth.” says Graf. “The sea is a metaphor. It’s my temporary escape with the one I love. The sea can can leave you high and dry if you look the other way.”

lyrics

I wanna love like I've got a life
I wanna love like I'll waste tomorrow
I think I'll live where there's no lies
I think I'll live where there's no radiation
I wanna be where the air is clear
I wanna live without fear
I wanna live by the sea
Where it's just you and me

What am I looking for?
I've tried and tried
Tried and tried again
What am I waiting for?

I wanna pill that can kill my mind
I wanna pill that's easy to find
It's only poison that I can breathe
It's only animals that fall asleep
I wanna be where there's no pollution
I wanna be where there's no delusion
I wanna live by the sea
Just you and me

What am I looking for?
I've tried and tried
Tried and tried again
What am I waiting for?
What am I waiting for?
