    Trash



    Evie Clair’s final summer collaboration is a new single with some of her favorite people in the world – her siblings. Evie is a little like Billie Eilish with a brilliant older brother like FINNEAS. Porter is her older brother and currently serving a church mission but was home because of the pandemic for just long enough to help write this song. Kirra is their younger sister. She appears in the video playing the trash drums and she also helped write this song. At the end of the song you can hear their mom say “Ya, good, it’s good. Wow guys.” That response was her authentic and original response when the 3 of them performed it for her for the first time at home. Since then their mom called it the “Trash Song” even though a better title might have been “I’m So Here.” Trash as a theme stuck and we created a video based on trash and the idea that they work so hard on this music while still feeling it just isn’t good enough. This song has a lyric in the bridge that says; “I’m writing and I’m bawling and these songs, they’re appalling, but I try and this trash, it’s for you; along with my heart.” These siblings truly love writing music together and love the people they write for – all of you.

    Lyrics

    i don’t want to open my eyes cause this nightmare just seems so nice

    i know that seems sad but really compared to real life

    cause you’re here

    why is it so hard to express what i feel in my chest when you’re here

    i sink in my thoughts and my words start to disappear

    when you’re here

    and i know i’m slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    so i just have to go with the flow when the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so here

     

    i just keep chasing that line in the sky not sure why but i’m fine

    i know where it ends yet again you know why i’m here

    yeah i’m still here

    and i know i’m slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    so i just have to go with the flow when the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so here

     

    i’m writing and i’m bawling and these songs they’re appalling but i try and this trash is for you

    along with my heart

     

    and i know i’m slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so slow with my flow but the only word you leave me with is whoa

    cause i’m so so so so here

     

    i find in time it’s all lethal and deadly or everything’s fine

    but i’m still here
