lyrics

Pocket Knives

Written by Dylan Caron & Adam Fitzgerald

Lyrics:

We carved our names into porches with dull pocket knives
She’s giving hugs, giving handshakes, just to feel a little bit nice
Went by the book, went by the pages, by the lettering
Written by hand just for you, I hope it helps you feel a little bit of something

What if we told you the truth
We never knew where we were going
What if the world that we knew
was just in our imagination

You ran away, ran round the corner cause you told a lie
You got a cigarette burn and you spilled some wine that night
All those lies you told, they come crying out your eyes
You know I never cared, so we’ll go and burn, into the skies

What if we told you the truth
We never knew where we were going
What if the world that we knew
was just in our imagination

Press

“The group finds the sweet spot between The Shins and The Smiths.”
- Detroit Free Press

“Shady Groves manifested in 2015, the collaboration of songwriters Adam Fitzgerald, Dylan Caron and Jeff Yateman. Colt Caron (piano), Sage Denam (drums) and Jamie Dulin (bass) would eventually join, filling things out after Yateman left the band in late 2016. They found a slick, smooth electro-pop sound that was keen on rich tones, propulsive arrangements and a hushed kind of crooning vocal melody. I always felt like they found this serene musical field where they could fuse something melodramatic like The Smiths, contemplative like The Shins, post-chill-wave vibe-outs like Wild Nothing and an adventurous sense for reconstructing the possibilities of pop, like Tennis."
- Jeff Milo


“Shady Groves are genre chameleons. Although their most recent album Bitzer bounces around from indie rock to shoegaze, dream pop to folk, they manage to stay consistently charming and confident in their sound.”

“The group finds the sweet spot between The Shins and The Smiths.”
-Detroit Free Press

“There are times when it’s difficult to pinpoint a band to a genre or group of genres; Shady Groves is certainly one these bands. Their eclectic sounds cross 60s influences with light funk, dream pop flavors, tastes of folk, and indie pop sounds. This is a band interested in melding sounds together.”
