The Mellowells - Melting Vibes (Tiny Desk Contest 2016)

Written, filmed, and recorded by The Mellowells
Melting Vibes
I don’t ever want to be you
As if someone would even let me
Who’s to say I won’t forget you
For reasons unexplained that aren’t true
Let’s go easy
Make moves slowly, please let go, you’ve got
One thing coming
From my head I’ll let it out again
I can’t get out of my head
My body really wants to stay in bed
And we don’t really mind at all they said
Just keep moving
Throw back what’s not in your plan
I’ll take what I can fit into my hands
And wash away the melting vibes again
Never ending
Paint the walls a kind of dark gray
And kind of just absorb the growing fade
I’m visceral without you in here
a room I made to stay away from fear
Let’s go easy
Change what’s different, take the void and make
Perfect pictures
From my head, I’ll let it out again
I can’t get out of my head
My body really wants to stay in bed
And we don’t really mind at all they said
Just keep moving
Throw back what’s not in your plan
I’ll take what I can fit into my hands
And wash away the melting vibes again
Never ending

You guys are the best band I've heard in a while I love your music and I don't think I've found a bad song by you. I don't know how you guys aren't famous yet!!

[@Train115]

Check out The Happy Fits and Hippo Campus if you like this, it's got the same theme and quality.

How do you play this song on guitar?

[@orangesodadrink]

😍

[@collin8186]

Could you guys let the fans know if you're ever planning on doing anymore mucic? It sucks just sitting and waiting not knowing if you guys are done or not

[@paige18]

i think they might've just don't this as a little side hobby in college, and i don't think they plan on making anymore music 🥲

[@collin8186]

@@paige18 god damnit :(

[@jasonking3795]

They made a new band called “sun not yellow”!!!!!!! Spread the word! They lost a guitarist I believe and made a new band because of it, they have like two albums and a new single like last month!

[@mysecretexperiments]

What are the chords:) ?!?!?

[@joshcha680]

Bass part slaps compared to original. Well done.

[@benurom]

Man as a drummer i really think the cross stick being used as a snare all the time does not do justice to the drummer. Mate use a mini snare, like 10" or even a cajon would do the trick. Either way, very good job my guy!

[@juanamartinez3285]

Does anyone know why a marble run channels post all thier music??? Iike I legit thought it was their channel

[@paige18]

wait this isn't their official channel?

[@itsmealec]

@@paige18 this one is, but when you look up their music its on a channel called 'marble run official' for some reason
