    For The Leaving comes as a beautiful merch pack - I handmade 100 numbered envelopes, filled them with special merch and the CD, and folded them into the tote bag.
    The pack contains
    - lyrics of the full EP, handwritten, on beautiful brown letter-paper
    - two bespoke goodbye-cards and an airmail envelope; goodbye cards are greeting cards I had printed with paintings by Lieke Romeijn - the back contain lyrics from the EP songs.
    - a CD of the full EP
    - The For The Leaving natural woven totebag with a design of Jeahjeah
    - I'll sign the inside of the envelope with a personal message.

    I numbered all the envelopes from 1-100, you can inquire to get a specific number, though I can't guarantee their availability.

lyrics

You took me to a bar downtown the night that I arrived
You ordered wine and drank it all
You talked about your life
You’d had some busy weeks my dear,
but now you were doing pretty well
Oh, I felt the sword just hanging there - was waiting till it fell

Oh I’ll understand when your feeling’s gone
but don’t you dare tell me to smile when you leave me now

We never really fought cause I’d get rather sad instead
You’d turn the story round on me and then you’d make it up in bed
And now you say you trust that I’ll survive this break-up too
Well, you do believe in me my dear
- at least that much is true

Just go, go when your feeling’s gone
But don’t you dare say I’ll survive when you leave me now

Oh wouldn’t it be nice for me? you say -
Won’t it finally be nice for me?
If I’ll let go of the tings I thought - the things I hoped
that one day we would be
Those silly dreams you’d turn around for me
Oh wouldn’t it feel nice
and free?

You never put up pictures where the both of us were in
You never wondered where I went or asked me where I’d been
And now you think you know what’s good for me
You trust that I’ll be fine
Well I don’t need your pity dear,
not now, not down the line

Just go, go when your feeling’s gone
But don’t you dare say tell me to smile when you leave me now
Don’t you dare say I’ll survive when you leave me now
Don’t you dare pity me when you leave me now

Wouldn’t it be nice for me?
Won’t it finally be nice for me?
If I’ll let go of the tings I thought - the things I hoped
that one day we would be
Those silly dreams you’d turn around for me
Oh wouldn’t it feel nice
and free

LEWIN: the fresh musical leaf that has been turned by songwriter and musician Jara Holdert.

Lewin's voice "might remind you a bit of Joni Mitchell in the upper registers, while her musical temperament feels closer to the bardic stylings of Laura Marling. Lewin's sound is a refreshing mix of emotional authenticity and beautiful folk-pop songcraft.” (chillfiltr) ... more
