about

Happy Valley is a race course in Hong Kong where most of this EP was dreamt up.This is a 10 track EP which is more like an album. It was written and recorded over a period dating back to October 2011 and up to July 2012. There are songs about dreams and songs about love and songs about dying. All songs written, recorded and produced by Howl except The Himalayas produced by Himalayan Headwaters and Lucid which features Leigh. Both are amazing artists. The promotion and physical publication of this record couldn't have been possible without Teen Suicide Cult - a label I started with my friends Blessam and Field Lines. Without them this record wouldnt have become what it is. Thank you for everything from everyone.

Track Name: Forests
I dont know why we say these things/we do these things
sun rise sun set its all the same/its all the same
no past no more its at the end/we're at the end
re-live/re-live all the mistakes that you made together
Track Name: XL
How can i begin when you dont even tell me how you feel
when it feels like your there its always part of a complex game you play
i remember a time when you said you were different
oh how i believed
i remember you said this would never end but did you ever think about a word you said?

of course i love you but time has changed were not in the same place
you never said i could never see it in your face
Track Name: Leo Johnson
Lets fall asleep to the sound of foxes fucking, to the light of setting suns
when we awake we'll be separate instead of the shadows we became at night
Secret Paintings of all your deepest secrets all of them in my blood
although in my mind we are one on canvas you are only mine

a short hand chain that distances us from what we say and how we love
a modern slave tied down to a past that we arent built to outlast

one last show to prove that we're all from venus and we surpass the sun
fighting over what's not ours we are blinded and chase with no regard
time leads us back to the garden to where it all began
but i wont be smart enough to steal and fall away again and start as two

a short hand chain that distances us from what we say and how we love
a modern slave tied down to a past that we arent built to outlast
Track Name: Lucid feat. Leigh
dream in colour open arms lost brothers no one to blame
lucid dreaming with another what you do then is what you are
no vision no speech no colour nothing is wrong
heavy water on the roof tops no faith in heaven no faith in home
holy vision bleeding palms scared of religion scared of yourself
where do you go now i hide in the woods our little secret
keeps this
alive
Track Name: The Himalayas (prod. by Himalayan Headwaters)
animals in the wild
animals in a cage
prisoner in shackle
prince coming of age
long walks in the darkness
swimming in the lake
souls running riot
from all the love that we make
master sent from heaven
followers from hell
remember where we were the night the country fell
secrets hidden in novels
bleed well from a pen
the moon is our guiding
makes us question when
hear tales of which craft
in the woods you lie
spend your days in the gutter
and your nights up high
dream of gold and diamonds
wake up still poor
trying to forget the picture of the riches you saw
Track Name: Gold Dust (Alternate Version)
the only life i'd ever known was te wrong one
why can i pick up the phone to tell you im gone
cause then it would be real
cause then id have to feel

no light
eyes tight
one foot in front of the other and no turning back
you dont wanna see what you left behind
