about

"This dark/light dynamic perfectly conveys a sense of longing, of hopelessness, of isolation. The chorus finds our narrator “wishing I could hold your hand,” and it’s at once haunting and beautiful. “No Man’s Land” is the tale of loneliness, and it communicates this universal theme with a unique and satisfying combination of dream pop and post-grunge.” - Allegra Frank: Obscure Sound

“Andrew Ditlevson plaintively murmuring – like an old Alice and Chains son – and then emerges as something more ethereal as Anne Ditlevson adds to the chorus. Add a glockenspiel and strings, and you have a winner! Nice work and another reason to be excited for the music scene in Greenville.” - Clif : The Dadada

LYRICS

Drop me off on Center Street
Where he’ll never see
Hiding in the corner I
was looking for your face
Everyone is starting at
Shirt tucked into jeans
It will start soon enough
Time to go inside

I went into No Man's Land
Wishing I could hold your hand

Looking at a giant screen
Am I really here
Chevy Chase never was
What I thought I’d see
Cast aside the outcast he
Shouldn’t sit with me
In the way once again
I will slip away
