A moody piece built on a robust bassline, tasty acoustic-guitar jangle, and a sparse drizzle of strings, “Doldrum” is Kubra Commander in peak form.

lyrics

Are you headed somewhere, C
an you feel again, feel the end
Oh don't you follow me.

The waves are getting stronger,
I sense your heart's afraid,
But the shoreline won't fade,
Now won't you follow me,
See I won't fade now won't you follow me

Are you contemplating, you should be concentrating,
Don't you ever lose your ground
The night is young and maybe, you'll be all that you should be,
Don't you ever lose your ground.

Time will always slow down,
If we start life anew, the trees know the truth,
The sun won't bother me

Show me how the old folks used to play it by ear,
They had nothing to fear. The world will never see,
Why there's nothing to fear, now hold on to your dream.

Are you contemplating, you should be concentrating,
Don't you ever lose your ground
The night is young and maybe, you'll be all that you should be,
Don't you ever lose your ground.

Are you headed somewhere, can you feel again, feel the end
Oh don't you follow me, feel the end oh don't you follow me,
feel again now won't you follow me...

Are you contemplating, you should be concentrating,
Don't you ever lose your ground
The night is young and maybe, you'll be all that you should be,
Don't you ever lose your ground.
