Mosaic Tiles 03:39
Mosaic Tiles V1 - I thought of moving west Red canyons in a marble montage But I’ll be here when you’re gone Playing music all the time Wings spread wide on the wind Carry you to another town I’ll be here after you move Holding this stone heart of mine C - If I could freeze the moments Take another shot If I could freeze the moments V2 - So I listen to the rain Find a peace I couldn’t find at home Washing shadows, it’s cleaning the dark Like a blessing I’d never known I’m on the coast of southern Maine Watching you at the shore Best story I ever told Writing our own folklore Bridge - If I could freeze the moments Mosaic tiles arranged in my fractured display The days keep coming right at us Like a line of waves on the open ocean Drag us down under again V3 - So I see you when I can With our circle of friends First name basis with everyone We’re playing music all the time (The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

Darkening My Door V1 - You became a shadow darkening my door You're the family apple, fallen close the tree Abandoned highway, lined with wrecks left to rust Now you're a dealer settling a score Pre-Ch - From the Virgin Islands to the Bay of Maine I searched the shore for a light C - I saw a shadow darkening my door A shadow on my door V2 - You became the duchess of a kingdom overthrown You were the master planner, we ate right from your hand The guardian of a castle, tower over barren land Now you're just a secret the world has never known Pre-2 From Mount Desert Island to Maho Bay I searched the shore for a light C - I saw a shadow darkening my door A shadow on my door

To a Heartbeat  C1 Oh I could stay right here With you by the bay as the night Erases the daylight and we never felt so still To a heartbeat  C2 And I could die right now as the world stops to spin The beat and the changes this life condensed to a heartbeat to a heartbeat  B1 In the moment we arrive The beat of the ocean comes alive and takes the heart of the sun now the future and the past overlap the stars revealed the first the last one by one B2 The night falls down on the bay silence the nerves of the day Until it’s done now the future and the past overlap the stars revealed the first the last one by one

Telling Me Off V1: Waves at night Sea-sprayed salt Show me the town where you come from I'll tell you who needs to grow up Verse Tag: Show me a love words didn't corrupt I'll tell you my mind's made up C1 You're telling me off Something must have set you off V2: You blame this town Still owes you something good Remember the dates we stayed up all night I'd watch as you sleep in the sun C2: You're telling me off Something must have set you off You say you've got a new best friend, He turns you on Picking up where we left off V3: Show me a house quiet and still I'll tell you when I'm coming home C3: Now you're telling me off Something must have set you off I used to know every switch, To turn you on You're telling me off Chorus Tag: You say you've got a new best friend, He turns you on Picking up where we left off (The Forest Effect. Lyrics - E. Page)

In the Wind 04:20
In the Wind V1: She asked him To keep a diary only she could read it might seem selfish. She framed every entry on her bedroom walls PC1:  One page she keeps reading over again Hey you, reunited, with an old friend One page she keeps reading over again C: But the feeling, she’s lost it It’s just riding, in the wind, in the wind V2: He kept it close At his station, at his post They found it, private pages Blowing in the sand PC2:
 One page she keeps reading over again 
Hey you, reunited, with an old friend C: But the feeling, she’s lost it It’s just riding, in the wind, in the wind Outro: 
she asked him, keep a diary only she could read The Forest Effect / Lyrics - E. Page

about

My Fractured Display, out in 2022, is a more accessible distillation of The Forest Effect’s adventurous musicality. With its acoustic guitar and piano-driven sensibilities, the 5-song EP is a release that harkens back to the immersive joys of vinyl records where you let them play and just lost yourself in the music. This latest EP—like the two prior releases—is self-produced, and mixed by tastemaking engineer Paul Q Kolderie (Radiohead, The Pixies, Portugal. The Man) of Fort Apache fame.

about

The Forest Effect Arlington, Massachusetts

Intentional / emotional / impactful Boston indie rock band led by vocalist/guitarist Elliot Page.
The music of The Forest Effect is an interplay of light and dark tones, like capturing the way the late-afternoon light filters through the layers of the forest. They’ve been described as “if the guys from Dismemberment Plan met up at Wilco’s loft to play some Pink Floyd and The Black Crowes covers.” ... more
