The Story After choosing the relationship, this song moves into something that had always been there between us — how naturally we moved together. He used to comment on it all the time. How in sync we were. Walking somewhere, moving through a crowd, doing anything physical or mental. Our energy was aligned. We could be across a room from each other and know what the other was thinking, what was happening without a word being said. He was fascinated by it and would deliberately push the limits of how in sync we were, just to see how far it went. I wasn't as surprised. I felt this connection instantly and wouldn't have dated him if it hadn't been this way. That connection became the center of We Move Like Smoke : “We move like smoke No word No sound” The Sound Listen...

Starting to Feel Like Us - The Story and Sound Behind the Song

on

Listen to "Starting to Feel Like Us" on: Spotify | Apple Music | Amazon Music

Starting to Feel Like Us Is About Becoming a Something

The Story

“Starting to Feel Like Us” comes after the songs “Don’t Need One” and “Like It This Way”. We had moved in together fast. It was all working out, and our relationship was changing.

This song is about the point where I started to feel like we were becoming more than boyfriend and girlfriend, but without losing the things I enjoyed about being together. It was starting to feel like us.

The line:

“starting to feel like a something
but still feeling like us”

is the center of the song. It points to moving forward without entering the socially acceptable decline people like to mistake for progress. It was becoming something, but it was still familiar and it was still alive.

The Sound

The sound is a dark, hazy and warm alternative groove. It has a steady pull, close vocals and a late-night afterglow running through it. It is moody, seductive and alive without losing the comfort of something that is starting to feel familiar.
