“Wish Me Away” and “Going In Circles” by GIFT – Song Features

     GIFT followed “Wish Me Away” with an even stronger “Going In Circles.” Is this the year of GIFT? All indications are that it is. The two songs are from an upcoming album, “Illuminator,” which is scheduled for release on August 23, 2024. The band is based in New York, but has connections to Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Brazil, and Boston.
 
     The members of GIFT are vocalist/guitarist TJ Freda, multi-instrumentalists Jessica Gurewitz and Justin Hrabovsky, drummer Gabe Camarano, and bassist Kallan Campbell. They describe “Wish Me Away” as “earworm guitar lines, propulsive rhythms, riveting vocals and mind-expanding aural flourishes.” In comparison, “To be sure, the relentless, often painful dance of love has never sounded as exhilarating as on “Going in Circles.”

Lyrics of “Wish Me Away” by GIFT
It steals my breath
Times lost I pretend
It dawns on me
This life I can’t repeat
Like sinking sand
Its gone way to fast
Will they remember me
Just in time to bury me
 
Can’t hold onto
The ones I love
 
Wish me away
Wish me away
Wish me away
With me away
 
It starts with one
Pull me back when I start to run
It seems that way
I forgot what to say
I hold on tight
Your eyes have lost their light
Will they remember me
A life incomplete
 
Can’t hold onto
Can’t hold onto
The ones I love
The ones I love
 
All alone seems right
I can’t hold tight
All alone feels right
I can’t feel love
All alone seems right
I can’t see light
All alone feels right
I can’t leave it
 
All alone
Always
All day
This place
I can’t
Tell if I’m wrong or
 
Wish me away
[Repeating]

Lyrics of “Going In Circles”
I cannot sleep at night
I cannot sleep at night
I cannot wash away the days
 
I couldn't feel last night
I couldn't feel last night
When all my thoughts creeped in
 
I wondered what you meant
You taught me to forget
When I watched my sky cave in
 
And I never told you why
And I never told you why
Always in love
And I
 
A familiar dream she said
Caught under waves of dread
I couldn't find a way to stay
A little closer now
A little closer now
A little closer now
 
And I never told you why
And I never told you why
Never said away from here is better
Never said away from here is bettеr
Always in love
With this everlasting touch
 
(Feel light) I cannot feel
(Feel light) Alrеady, dear
(Feel light) I'll be the last to fall away
I'll be the last to fall away
I'll be the last to fall away
I'll be the last to fall away
 
I never told you why
And I never told you why
Always in love
And I
