Bay Ledges - "Straight Jacket" [Audio Video]
Bay Ledges, the glitchy indie-pop group led by siblings Zach & Georgina Hurd, will release the new EP, FOUNTAIN TROPICAL, on Friday, 8/18, on S-Curve Records.
Bay Ledges self-released the song, "Safe," late last fall and it unexpectedly and rapidly hit three million streams on Spotify. It was at the urging of family and friends that principal band member Zach Hurd even released the song, so its success was most unexpected to him. Making no effort to promote it, within weeks, the track landed on Spotify's "Fresh Finds" playlist, then shot up the Global Viral chart. "At the time I was in Williamsburg, Virginia, helping to clear out my grandparents' old house," recalls Hurd, "Every day I'd wake up to something new. It was so surreal -like, 'This unbelievable thing is happening, and I'm alone in Colonial Williamsburg.'" The band currently reside in Los Angeles, however they are originally from Bath, ME, and the band take their name from a plot of land that the Hurds’ grandparents owned in Maine. In addition to the success at Spotify, the song was selected a "Today's Top Tune" at KCRW. The video for "Safe" recently premiered via Ones To Watch.

Lyrics:
Mickey says to retire I been down in the fire just barely getting by for a brawl
And you’re working at the pet store quietly wondering if anybody sees you at all
Darling I’ve been payin attention…cracking bad jokes just to ease the tension
If I could only prove to you that we go together like ice skates and ice skaters do
Mickey says I’m a faker a real leg breaker and a second-rate loan shark at best
It’s a living for me but there’s more I could be no wonder he never seems too impressed
All I really want is you to come upstairs so I can show you a thing or two
No it ain’t the title dear, but I gotta take a shot at something before I disappear
Adrian, I was a goner then…
…I was a goner then you came along
Mickey’s changing his tune now that I’m shooting the moon and I might have a chance at the belt
I been wakin up at dawn I been training so long just to hold on to the hand I was dealt
And everybody wants a piece but I’d rather give you every little bit of me
Will you hold me in your wings? Tell me that fifteen rounds ain’t the craziest thing
Adrian, I was a goner then…
…I was a goner then you came along
I don’t wanna waste my life
Even if it’s mine to waste
I don’t wanna die alone and be replaced
Everybody needs someone
To share those lonely thoughts
Even a raging stallion’s heart gets caught
Adrian I know I can’t beat him
Maybe I can only make it through
Even if I go down swinging
I promise I will still come up for you
I was wasting away like a cold philly day just barely making money for bills
You were living at home with your brother afraid you might never make it out for a thrill
Looking back it’s hard to say if you saved me or if things went the other way
Darling you’re worth fighting for, step in my ring give me more give me more give me more
Adrian, I was a goner then…
…I was a goner then you came along
