Adam Stafford On my first listen, this album gives me a sort of sonic déjà vu. It's nostalgic yet experimental in a way that feels very deliberate and thoughtful. Excellent work, Lotus! I'm excited to explore this album over the next few listens. Favorite track: Don't feel a thing.

On Golden Wings Songs sound ambient and relaxing mixed with rock guitars. Favorite track: Take a day off.

Whether it's microphone silence mixed to front or comfortable synthie crackling, it delivers a nice cosy intimateness. Beside a wonderful nosy Vox almost in a reaggae mood & drums leaving room for Gits & Co. I can hear space & time of a Lotus growing...

Odd are the days oh, Odd are the days that I don’t feel a thing, Is it the right time to let it all go, And then i get the beauty of it all, I guess I’ll get lost now, I know I’m not alone. You, You, You! I guess I’ll get lost now and let it all go! I guess I’ll get lost now and let it all go! I guess I’ll get lost now and let it all go! You, You, You!! Odd are the days when I don’t feel a thing. Let it all loose in my mind. Odd are the days when I don’t feel a thing, oh, let it all loose!

Vision 03:10
Give me something to rely on, Let me be. As I sift these waters. Let me be, let it be. As I sift these waters, Give me something to backfire on When we fight it, should we have to go? When we fight to rely on, then we'll have to go, When we judge to rely on, then we lose it all, When we judge to define our own, then we'll have to choose When you give me something to rely on, I would never go, You gave it all that you could now what, I see you crawl, When you gave me something to rely on, I never saw.

Wither 04:27
Remember we walked alone in trust, Forever we'd be alone, in trust. However it goes we know, this storm, Fearing the worst of all I know. Remember we walked alone, Remember we walked alone. Part of me just wanted, Wanted it all how, it felt so real. Part of us just was dead, it’s up to us right now, Moments won’t be wasted, we'll live it out right now, These times they won’t, these times they won’t be wasted.

Move On 03:28
Too many wanna let go, Get it easy, soul on low, Speak your mind, don’t you just stall, Keep on moving steady and tall, Too young to let it all go, pour your heart out, feed your soul, Once you know it, never let go, keep on rolling steady and slow, It might take a while oh, it all happens for a good reason. When your world takes a hold, and you breathe now, It doesn’t really matter how you feel now, ohh When you see the reason and the logic bleed now, As you learn about the facts not the zeal now, ohhh And as the world keeps on moving, you see it go up in smoke, Feel the world moving, Feed your world to move it, We're moving, we're moving, Towards the light.
7.
Intact 02:52
When I try to remember where all the hate came from, Do you remember? All the while around me when the weather was strong, do you remember? One of these days I'll wonder, did I have to? Did I go? One of these days I'll wonder, did I have to? Did I fall? When I try to remember where all the hate came from? Do you remember? All the while around me when the weather was strong, Do you remember? I know that you weren’t there for me, but what you did was good in a way.
8.
We're only human, I tell you, Why can’t you let it go, It’s all a part of life son, Learn as you keep on going, I didn’t care what you thought then, but I do now. What do you have to say then, wait, let me say my bit loud. You seem to’ve always have ambition and i never meant to stand in your way. Think of it right now, you got food on your plate. Besides this silly confrontation, it’s really hard when you're away. Look at you right now, I’m proud of u right now, I should have been there. But I lost my will to fly away, oh oh ooooh, You clipped my wings and thought I'd stay oh hooo, Regrets have always been a pain,oh hooo, Its time to let go! Cause I was never Insufficient. Cause of the lack of inhibition!

about

The concept behind Dear Diary is the idea of journaling or collecting your thoughts/ideas into a form of codex.

For us as musicians, the instrumentation, the lyrics, choosing the harmonies melodies and layers, they’re all a collection of thoughts given a sound, intent and character - a form of journaling. Similar to how one would author a book, or paint on canvas. For creators, their body of work is the journal. We wanted to pour everything we're experiencing as individuals, as well as a unit into this album. Be it our individual experiences though life, adulthood, love, the feeling of loss of a loved one, emotional attachments (and detachments) with friends and family. Dear Diary is us finding closure and understanding with these aspects of our lives.
