Some rise and bloom Some let us down You took your time To figure it out Stand in the shadows and blame Every time every day It comes undone You know you’re wrong Hey you’re kind of freaking me out Hey you’re kind of freaking me out Hey you’ve got to figure it out No trace or truth No signs are found This time you’re through We’ll turn it around

Hang Tight 03:13
So, you were right from the start 15 years together I think that I would fall apart If you left forever Please don’t ever leave me alone Hang tight never let it go Buy a house down by the lake Make money last for days Keep me part of your plans My heart is in your hands And when we can leave the house Take me to the river Don’t need a ring to be a spouse You just make me better

Caroline 02:29
So, you were right to leave Caroline Turns out that we would lose every time And all the noise that covers all the signs Say life keeps on moving all the time So, we submit and say it was true And then the hotel fell onto you And all the noise covers all the signs But life keeps on moving all the time And when we play our part Come back down And let it start And when the night creeps in Come back to me And start again So, you were right to leave Caroline Turns out that we would lose every time And all the noise it covers the signs Saying love keeps on moving all the time Oh, yeah, your life keeps on moving all the time

Hit Me Up 02:53
Learn to fly Head in the clouds Never too much to carry around with you Your love flows backwards Turn and run Feet on the ground Always enough to follow it down with you All trust goes backwards Do you want to hit me up and let me know what’s going on Do you want to hang around and let it show you might be wrong Do you want to hit me up and let me know what’s going on Cause I’ve got the time Try to speak Blood on your hands Cover it up and dribble it down your shoes Your love flows backwards
6.
You used to tell me about the good times And I always thought that you would be fine But I’ve been worried about you lately The only thing I’ve learnt in this life Is love can pass you by You used to tell me about your father And all the times he was a fucker But I’ve been thinking about it lately The only thing I’ve learnt in this life Is love can pass you by You never told me about the burden Three grand below the iron curtain But I don’t worry about it lately The only thing I’ve learnt in this life Is love can pass you by Yeah, love can pass you by

about

Following a trip to Japan for two packed-out Tokyo shows at the start of 2020, Swimming Tapes suddenly found themselves, like most bands, unable to write and perform together. This stifling of creative output and collaboration drove Price to start putting songs together himself; something he had done in partnership with his band-mates and best-friends for many years.

The result of this isolation is Parkside Grooming - a collection of indie-pop songs which see Price wear his heart on his sleeve, allowing himself to push past barriers and become far more personal with his songwriting. Across the EP, he touches on the breakdown of his parents’ marriage when he was a child (“Caroline”), anger and confusion about the government response to the pandemic (“Figure It Out” / “Hit Me Up”) and the financial stresses and strains of living in London as a musician (“Hang Tight”).
