about

I wrote Wild Animal on piano, and then we produced it into an electronic soundscape that really bangs (as you’ve heard!). But I always had this feeling that we could have gone another way with our production choices. I didn’t want to leave myself dissatisfied, so last summer Alex, Anwar, and I began a reimagining. First we stripped it all naked back to its piano and vocal roots. Then we brought on Jonathan Dreyfus to craft the dreamiest strings. Anwar Sawyer wrote and performed a piano piece to end all piano pieces (and dubbed it Opus 1). I recorded brand new vocals, and we transported Alex Tanas to Porto where we tied a bow on the beauty.

lyrics

I get nervous when you touch me
Cause you don’t touch me often
And you never touch me long enough
I can’t even enjoy your love

I will tense all my muscles up
I won’t breathe til you’re gone
I don’t wanna scare you off

I always imagined you as a wild animal
We don’t speak the same language
You’re put off by my feelings
I always imagined you as a wild animal
We won’t get out of this alive
But all you wanna do is fight

I get anxious when you leave me
Cause you don’t leave me often
And you never leave me long enough
I can’t even enjoy your loss

I will tense all my muscles up
I won’t breathe til you’re gone
I don’t wanna bring you back
