Well he's scared of change, scared of change I know, I know He'll feel this way, feel this way A while, awhile Well he's wide awake, wide awake A broken phone, far from home And he's up late, and she's out late Oh no, oh no Who are you to say I can't go I will go as far as I can roam Did you know I feel so alone This town is not my home And it's therapy, it's therapy Playing the blues, playing the blues It'll be okay, be okay Hugging you, hugging you I hear you plead, hear you plead Your motives aren't true, motives aren't true I want to stay, I want to stay But your lies fall through, I see the real you Who are you to say I can't go I will go as far as I can roam Did you know I feel so alone I will find my way back home I will find my way back home I will find my way home to her Well I'm scared of change, scared of change I know, I know I'll feel this way, feel this way A while, awhile

Old Friends 03:45

Why did we have to change Years ago I never would have fathomed this Why couldn't things stay the same Years ago I thought it was just all endless Are all these memories in vain If you aren't here to share them all with Are we flushing it down the drain If you aren't here it's all been just a myth We were supposed to be brothers, oh... Why am I the only one it bothers, oh... Don't let your old friends Become your old friends Don't lose their numbers In Your Phone When you let your old friends Become your old friends You may just wind up All alone Don't let your old friends Become your old friends Take it from someone I should know

I still see you For what you are I see through you It tears me apart If I'm missing Would you miss me Come and find me If you miss me Come and find me Come and find me Tried to escape The worlds we create Please just stay Push me away I have missed you While I was sleeping Where were you While I was dreaming Lonely feelings Come and find me Come and find me Come and find me Before you miss me

Just In Time (Wouldn't You Know) 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Well she broke her promise And she betrayed me too And after the lies and dissension I was left with only a bruise Wouldn't you know You were just in time To watch me grow And follow the signs Wouldn't you know I made you... mine Bring me to an earlier time please Cleanse me completely through Because I'm just a boy with a big heart And I see myself in you Wouldn't you know You were just in time To watch me grow And follow the signs Wouldn't you know I made you... mine And now I love you!

about

Hug Me, I'm Homesick.
Man, these songs have been on a journey.
Five years ago it began. I found myself miles from home in a place of isolation. Me being the usual upbeat and naturally optimistic person I am, slipped and fell into a real depression. I turned to music to cope with the loneliness.
My relationship that I held on a pedastal was crumbling. I felt like I was alone. When you move away from home, sometimes you find yourself in a worse place instead of that sought-after catharsis of escape.
I missed my childhood. I missed my old friends. These songs remain. They are a reminder to anyone else who has been there. This is a concept EP for the homesick, the depressed, and the ones who have been cheated on.
There is a light at the end of the long tunnel. We can all heal. This is proof that there is beauty through pain. If you listen, try to listen all the way through in sequence. Each song has its own identity, and there is an ending.
These songs meant so much to me when I went through everything, and now I'm extremely proud of myself and my wonderful bandmates who worked on this project for the better part of a year recording.
This is the first full band project from The Indigo Children. This is the first thing we are truly proud of creating.
And even though the pain I went through while writing these songs is long gone, healed, and forgiven; it is not forgotten. It is here for you to use to cope with your own solitude.
The album cover is a photo of Mariah at 2AM in Louisville, Kentucky, just an hour after I proposed to her.
And it's funny because all of us thought this would be a good album to release in the fall or winter, but considering how this year has went down with COVID-19, I feel like everyone can relate to these feelings right now in the world.
Thank you all for reading and listening, and yes, we are gig-ready! As soon as everything frees up, you will see us perform live in the midwest. And yes, there will be a physical release of this in the future; you heard it here first.
Enjoy, and I hope it resonates with you.

about

The Indigo Children Effingham, Illinois

We are a dream pop/psychedelic band from Illinois. It's all about the nostalgia, drenched in reverb. We try to only write songs that come straight from the gut. Swirling synth textures and earthy folky singer/songwriter roots combine for a true ethereal experience. Float on the clouds for and stay for a while. ... more
