Tonight 03:53
You rather stay cold, it gives you more than I do, You see the mountain falling You’re still in your head carrying us Holding on to something lightly You stay by the sea It keeps you calm and quiet Cause there’s no other way Your heart still wants this fire You’ve caught the silence and made your peace with it Tonight you’ll be there forever more And you’re still in your head tearing up Holding on to something lightly You stay by the sea It keeps you calm and quiet Cause there’s no other way Your heart still wants this fire If this is every bit May it rest while rusting And you still wish for it Cause we were something

And now you’re here Still looking inside my mind What a pretty smile And I care for your words So I didn’t see you at all this year But I still think I know you well And it’s not what your mind is saying That I don’t care at all, No But now your fear is in the way and you say Can you really think about it? No And you fall inside your head, in your bed And you never knew about it, No And you wonder away Still being quiet, Can you call me? And the words you find Still lying to your heart Cause I better be the one with steps for you Do you even care at all? And you made it up just to mess with me Faking the way you fall, And the worst will go eventually The lie, you won’t see at all And you come and we’ll make up afterwords, afterwords Cause now your fear is in the way and you said Can you really think about it? No You fall inside your head, in your bed And you never knew about it, no Are you ever gonna stay? I’m holding on, Can we talk about it? And you feel it fade away, I’m losing it And I never really cared

Tourist 03:46
Turning off lights as promised. Folding a picture of us All that I used to believe in Is secretly falling apart We caught the truth and it’s hiding inside the silence Buried with our own thoughts, lost in imperfect balance But maybe you’ll find it Cuz It runs out of my hands and I can’t escape it Cuz I’m running out of time It feels like forever Cuz I know you can feel it She takes what you give her but you’re running out of time You’ve gone a long way to see it. Maybe the distance did help Taking a walk through the forest. Running towards the light You won’t ever believe that it’s secretly falling And colours won’t ever die, we just can’t ignore it But maybe you’ll find it cuz It runs out of my hands And I can’t escape it Cuz I’m running out of time, time, time It feels like forever Cuz I know you can feel it She takes what you give her and maybe you’ll find it

That everything we had was lost Did I see it? Before you even mentioned it Have I been hiding? You said I couldn’t stand your words But I see it now You. Were a lover in the dark, that I stood by before To be my only guidance In time So I found my honest way out and It called for Another cold December The part that plays louder Surprised I even held so close without falling I’d focus on this lovely mess Was a part of this winter night You. Were a lover in the dark, that I stood by before To be my only guidance In time So I found my honest way out and It called for Another cold December You address these thoughts again But if so, tell me A colour changing in my way I need the past to say What I manage ‘cause I lost myself before You. Were a lover in the dark, that I stood by before To be my only guidance In time So I found my honest way out and It called for Another cold December

Blood 03:28
You, you got your self into trouble You, don’t need the rest ‘cause you, you see a house full of solutions too And you go in Meet the eyes and you will see Some of what we believe Another lie, you found in their mind In their sight So baby please, please just open your mind You sit out in the fog, just so lost in the night The heart of the way and you made a mistake The home to the right and you bleed until you follow the truth So baby please just open your mind you, you got your heart far away from it all For protection And you, found that life ain’t nothing in the fog So keep the truth somewhere safe And you will find a way to believe Many hearts dance aside You can’t give away everything So baby please, please just open your mind You sit out in the fog, just so lost in the night The heart of the way and you made a mistake The home to the right And you bleed until you follow the truth So baby Please just open your mind

Fall Asleep 04:06
Over the mountain You’re the ghost in me So play me in my own bed And I fall asleep You saw it was alright You saw it was alright It keeps coming and I’m not so sure how to receive it tho I’m still holding on, It keeps hitting me now, I am not strong enough Do you look inside the other Do you look inside yourself And you don’t know what she’s thinking She’s probably still on her own.

Still Awake 03:56
All the other voices screaming loud They don’t seem to bother you somehow I guess you’re used to them All your expectations drag you down It’s easier to close your eyes right now But you’re still awake When the ocean follows through and the waves will carry you May it open up the view forever then your mind can slip away Another minute in the deep listening to your heartbeat Letting all emotions go together then your mind can slip away Maybe it just seems so broken And another door is open You see a brand new light And it feels alright to fall asleep You’re catching up on dreams from last week And it still feels okay When the ocean follows through and the waves will carry you May it open up the view forever then your mind can slip away Another minute in the deep listening to your heartbeat Letting all emotions go together then your mind can slip away Are you still awake? When the ocean follows through and the waves will carry you May it open up the view forever then your mind can slip away Another minute in the deep listening to your heartbeat Letting all emotions go together then your mind can slip away Are you still awake?
8.
Indefinite 03:52
Inside the fire I thought I could move Some sense or indefinite reliance Too unsure to give it up But we should dive into the light I know it’s right to feel both sides Love you’re right The fire sees it It’s just too ambitious to let it go Can we face the unbalanced silence For another night to be alone No ‘cause we should dive into the light I know it’s right to feel both sides But If we wait too long again Repeating what we’ve seen Never taking our own advice Than nothing will ever change So we should dive into the light I know it’s right to feel both sides
9.
How Can I 04:16
I took my head out of the water ‘cause I missed cold, cold air I took a walk with my father Never have when I think about it So you said I’ve been the devil Thinking only about myself And in many ways I have been obsessing about my mental health I wanna be there for you but how can I? How Can I? When I’m never there for myself I wanna listen to your silence But I guess it’s now too late You know too much about me To find comfort in my broken words I wanna be there for you but how can I? How Can I? When I’m never there for myself And I wasted all my time Just thinking I must try To be somebody else I wanna be there for you but how can I? How Can I? When I’m never there for myself
10.
Haunted 03:52
You’ve been so worried for a while now But you know you’re safe and sound And everyday feels like your last one And it seems to follow you, no matter what you do I run around your empty house You don’t seem to care But if you’re honest with yourself now Is this what you want? Another treasure hunt But you’re not afraid To be pushed off the ground You’re not afraid To be all alone Always a part you never see A ghost inside your home But now you’re done with all your hiding So it’s leaving you alone ‘cause you’re not afraid To be pushed off the ground You’re not afraid To be all alone
11.
Fireworks 04:00
Under the colours that wish you the best But all you can think of is the truth It’s all in your head you’re not that upset It’s the idea of something That’s gone It’s bittersweet how I can stay in this forest And never want to leave this place The constant collision Is making me want to go back But it’s not an option anymore I thought you had something Left on your mind but it seems To be all forgotten Try to find balance Something that helps you in time Cause you are the light Under the colours Where your head will rest tonight The ghost of you will stay the night We have our protectors the once that do care We just have to find them I thought you had something Left on your mind but it seems To be all forgotten Try to find balance Something that helps you in time Cause you are the light Cause you are the light
12.
You run without your feet touching the ground beneath Maybe you wanted love but you couldn’t handle it But now you speak your mind You get what you really saw coming And it keeps on showing you That your eyes won’t bleed as much When you stay by the sea And your house won’t need as much With her you will see If you hold my deepest thoughts And all of the rain that falls You believe in so much more Now that it’s in your hands You’re scared you’ll scare it off In your mind you always know That your eyes won’t bleed as much When you stay by the sea And your house won’t need as much With her you will see You stay by the sea

Moonstone 03:19
I’ve been a distant dreamer I’ve seen my future in the skies You caught my glow, you kept it safe I dance around your Island, babe And I feel like a wave the deepest oceans call you out It isn’t easy but you’ve been here before another picture of your past Burned out with colours that are all made up And I feel like a wave
14.
River take me somewhere I’m too tired of letting go This light is too damn slow And I’m not sure how this will end Breaking through these walls Though they really seem unbreakable It’s been far too long Is there something we can fall back on It’s true, the creatures make you stay And you, let them run away For now All my bad ideas Came from slightly over thinking The fire burns my house, But I don’t care because you’re not hurt It’s true, the creatures make you stay And you, let them run away And you, set it all on fire By staying silent
15.
Turn off the lights Come out of your head There’s so many things You’ve already said It doesn’t help To repeat your ways Cuz eventually Tomorrow will be gone Breaking the waves Covered in stone It’s a white blank page Like a crack in your bones The fear of the fight Just the same old story But eventually Tomorrow will be gone Every time this river will flow In the back of my mind You can’t swim in a river so deep So hold on tight The stars bend for another view Of the open sky These words won’t mean anything If we let it slide
16.

about

Axel Flóvent pulls listeners into the wonders of Iceland with the eloquent storytelling and cinematic instrumentation of his full-length debut album, You Stay by the Sea. Co-produced with Ian Grimble [Mumford & Sons, Bear’s Den, Daughter], Axel’s D.I.Y. folk borders on ethereal with its icy soundscapes and evocative lyrics across these 12 tracks highlighted by “Tourist” and “Driving Hours.” Earning critical acclaim, The Line of Best Fit described it as “comforting music that’ll nourish your soul.” Allow him to welcome you into his world on You Stay by the Sea.

Axel Flovent's debut album, "You Stay By The Sea," is a collection of dusky songs that vary from subtle ballads to more electronic-leaning tracks that swell with emotion. The deluxe version includes three remixes, an acoustic version, and the new original song "Tomorrow Will Be Gone."
Flòvent explains, “'Tomorrow Will Be Gone' is about wasting time and fear of wasting time. I often catch myself in a loop of promises, emotions, things I want to approve in my life and I more often than not stop at the same gate of difficulties and repeat the mantra 'It’s not my best, I’ll try to improve next time' instead of “I did my best and will continue to improve,” which are two different sides of the same coin. 'Tomorrow Will Be Gone' is a reminder to change your perspective and not the self."
