lyrics

I hear relief in my sigh
Every time I try to tell you
And you just get bored
I feel the need to share
Though I couldn’t care
Any less if it stirred you
Or where you’d prefer to go
I already know

It’s not where I see myself
Oh no, not right now
I need solace and something to drink
I won’t need a partner
You must have missed the part where
I vacate my life
At least for a while
I’ve been pining
for an island

Where it smells of peat smoke
And the scotch whisky flows
To my troubles and drags them away
With the white-clad homes
And those old graveyard bones
And a light that shines through the grey
Oh, Islay, Islay
I’ll be there one day

I’ll come back renewed
And the things that once proved
too much to take, I’ll obliterate
A confetti of cares
Blown into the air
I’ll be standing outside
When a friend drives on by
saying “Hey. Man where you been?”

And I’ll say
Where it smells of peat smoke
And the scotch whisky flowed
To my troubles and dragged them away
With the white-clad homes
And those old graveyard bones
And a light that shined through the grey
Oh, Islay, Islay
I’ll be there one day

I’ve gotta get gone

To where it smells of peat smoke
And the scotch whisky flows
To my troubles and drags them away
With the white-clad homes
And those old graveyard bones
And a light that shines through the grey
Oh, Islay, Islay
I’ll be there one day

My Neighbor Kellan image

My Neighbor Kellan Austin, Texas

Kellan played a driveway show for his neighbor's party. The act was listed as 'My Neighbor Kellan' on the invite. People assumed it was a band name. Now it is. Influenced by the sounds and lyrical stylings of Stephen Malkmus, the riffs and weaving guitars of Built To Spill, and the emotion and vulnerability of Elliott Smith, Kellan makes bedroom music. Often in his underpants. ... more
