Secret Cave 02:23
2.
The kettle stopped and I started to notice it then A silence that lingered in the kitchen Sitting in this big old house alone at night Eyes so weak and blurring the night Blurring the night …and then my imagination started to wonder hallucinations haunting my comfort zone exaggerating shadows and sounds I turned the TV on real loud and acted real content I think that everyone gets scared from time to time Now my bed is so cold tonight And I can’t seem to reach the light Blurring the night
3.
Where do you go, go when you sleep? I can’t remember my last dream And I’m marooned in this phase where I can’t sleep In amongst the wreckage of a pile of planes I’ll discover the world where I rightfully belong I’ll look for something that does not even exist And I’ll do whatever it takes to be inspired again And if I could sleepwalk while I’m wide awake My legs could carry my soul where they wish to take And if I had a net I would be able to capture those forgotten dreams and live inside But I’ll discover the world where I rightfully belong I’ll look for something that does not even exist And I’ll do whatever it takes to be inspired again I’ll discover the world where I truly belong And I’ll do whatever it takes to get it done And I’ll remember the dream where I knew I’d travel to
4.
Wisdom Tooth 05:06
Another day pacing up and down and empty fitting room Saying when’s this energy gonna come to some use? Where’s the use in this youth? But for now I’ll wait here, I’ll wait here for now And although I don’t want to, it’s all I’ll let myself do Another birthday with the same resolutions Arthritic pains breaking through my chakras And this wisdom tooth won’t go away They say everyone must make a living Everyone must find their way But to me this live is made for living For now I’ll wait here, I’ll wait here for now And although I don’t want to, it’s all I’ll let myself do
5.
Gentle Giant 05:28
I turn to stone as my friends float away I don’t recognise them anymore Some of the things they say Whilst I come across silent and unnoticed It happens right in front of my own two eyes I see them change to my surprise Being good natured is not enough to see you through When it’s purpose is taken away from you I’ve dropped my confidence in the nettles And I guess I’m gonna have to get stung to get it back
6.
Vanished 02:18
You’ve just vanished off the edge of my world You’ve just vanished with no footprints Well what went wrong? I would’ve done as you asked But you’ve just vanished right out of my life You’ve just vanished with no evidence And now I’ve lost you like a grain of sand on the beach Just give me the chance to find you Give me the chance to reach ‘cos you’ve just vanished You have.
7.
Mammals 04:10
Is it just me or is anyone else scared of the truth? After I’m gone I wanna be content Why can’t there be any proof? Well some say we turn in to animals Or that we arrive in another body Well I hope that my ghost won’t be alone No one knows do they know, are the scientists right? Why can’t someone please just answer my thoughts so I can sleep through each night? Well some say we turn in to ghosts Or that we become one of the stars I don’t know where this life will take me, where this life will go… Well I hope that my ghost won’t be alone
8.
Skeleton Key 04:35
Don’t dream your life away Dreams of someone you’re not When being yourself is more But how long? You have a skeleton key It can open any door Take it to the secret cave in your head And you’ll find the strength hidden there But how long till I find this healing place?

about

Prehistoric Friends' debut album is a thematic, sweeping eight-track collection of heartfelt & atmospheric dream-pop written by Scottish multi-instrumentalist Liam Chapman (Miaoux Miaoux / Supermoon) and expertly crafted over two years at South Sounds Studio, Glasgow with producers Andrew Pattie (Honey & The Herbs) and Gavin Thomson (Glamour Muscle).

Each track is driven by warm Casio organs, rolling bossa-nova drum machines and Nichola Kerr’s mystic and earthy viola playing, which wrap around Chapman’s gentle, ethereal vocals, touching on themes of dreams, ambition, healing and soul-searching. Think the best of War On Drugs, Mac De Marco and Beach House, with maybe a touch of Stevie Nicks' greatest moments.
