I Keep It Composed by We Were Promised Jetpacks from Unravelling (2014)

I’m forever leaving the party Making excuses and waking up early At times I just catch myself in the mirror Repeating the phrase “Just keep it together” You break through and appear out of nowhere We go back, we go forth but we’ll all pass forever Now I have no more fear of darkness Until someone’s finger is over the light switch I pretend I am slowly easing the pressure But I’m always acutely aware of the danger Right on the cusp and the next step is crucial The night gone to hear the sound of you breathing Now I have no more fear of the darkness Until someone’s finger is over the light switch

I keep it composed I keep it so poised I keep it together Keeping the ship From sinking the treasure Pull us apart Tear us apart Then bring us together Put up with pain, to stick with the pleasure

I keep it composed I keep it so poised I keep it together by Keeping the ship From sinking the treasure You drew us apart You tear us apart Then bring us together I’m filled up with pain, I’m filled up with pain, I’m filled up with

And I have no more fear of the darkness Until someones finger is over the light switch

Pull us apart, tear us apart, then bring us together

Put up with pain, to stick with the pleasure.

Definitely my favorite off the new album. WWPJ have yet to disappoint me with an album.

Against the scene of a plane crash (obvious Lost allusions aside), the new track from We Were Promised Jetpacks' upcoming third album Unravelling provides the perfectly downbeat soundtrack for such a tense narrative.

The low thrum of drums and eerie, almost muffled vocals of 'I Keep It Composed' serve to keep you rather unsettled despite the title, almost claustrophobic in tone at times as the walls of sound threaten to close in. It may seem rather dark and dour to put in such terms, but there's also something beautifully haunting about it all once you come to the final chorus. 

Unravelling is out October 6th.
