“Closer” and “Damage Done” by Sea Girls – Song Features


     “Closer” features quick-twitch, upper-frequency guitars, then finishes with a more sustained, more powerful and lower pitched sound. The power is first felt at 2:16. The source of the “sound” may be a synth, but we are hopeful that Sea Girls uses a guitar, particularly since they are a guitar band.

     Sea Girls are Henry Camamile (vocals, guitar), Rory Young (guitar), Andrew Dawson (bass), and Oli Khan (drums). The roles have changed since Sea Girls began in 2015 and, according to Henry, their sound has shifted and developed along with the shifting roles. The goal is to constantly improve, allowing Sea Girls to generate diverse, interesting albums. The band is based in London, but their Facebook page identifies their hometown as Lincolnshire // Rutland // Leicestershire // Kent.

Lyrics of “Closer” by Sea Girls
I was drunken and distorted
By the fashion in your eyes
And the crimson made disguises

And each time I cross the border
Where the mountain met the sea
Brought you closer back to me

Oh, I can make my feelings frantic
Well, if there's nothing left for me
Just move on to Tennessee

Oh, it's quite clear you're no romantic
But take my hand and we can run
Into every setting sun

I'll bring you closer
Closer, closer to me
Closer, closer, closer to me
To me

Is this how it starts?
With the flashing of a gun
And the beating of a drum

Is this how we part?
We'll forget it just for now
But I'll always be around

To bring you closer
Closer, closer to me
Closer, closer, closer to me
To me
[Repeat following the bridge]

Lyrics of “Damage Done” by Sea Girls
I was full, shining
And when you took it, I felt thin
On a call, in a fight
I took it all last night

And I wonder why I've gone out tonight
When I know I'd rather be
In a freshman year, when you just got here
And you only wanted me

No, I don't really wanna dance
No, I don't really wanna dance

You're not the inspiration
You're not the reason for this song
If you want an explanation
The damage is, damage is done

Drop a bomb on the past
Yeah well, nothing ever lasts
And there's no going back
Who needs memories?
Of a freshman year when you just got here
And you only wanted me

Now I don't really wanna dance
No, I don't really wanna dance

You're not the inspiration
You're not the reason for this song
If you want an explanation
The damage is, damage is done
Don't try to make me jealous
I don't care if you're getting off with him
Just so there's no confusion
The damage is, damage is done

I'm talking to myself again
[Repeat 4x]
No, I don't really wanna dance
[Repeat 8x]

You're not the inspiration
You're not the reason for this song
If you want an explanation
The damage is, damage is done
Don't try to make me jealous
I don't care if you're getting off with him
Just so there's no confusion
The damage is, damage is done

Talking to myself again
Talking to myself again
I'm talking to myself again
The damage is, damage is done

[Whispered:]
You're not the inspiration
You're not the reason for this song
If you ask for an explanation
The damage is, damage is done
