 Título: Something is MissingArtista: Golden CastlesData de Lançamento: 04 de Julho de 2020Duração: 48 minutos e 21 segundosGêneros: Garage Rock, Indie Rock, Experimental Rock, Art Pop, Psicodelic RockGravadora: Aquaphor RecordsComposição: Golden CastlesProdução: Golden Castles
Após o lançamento de seu EP auto-intitulado, a banda indie Golden Castles chegam com seu primeiro álbum de estúdio, apresentando 9 canções inéditas e outras 2 já antes mostradas ao público. Assim como o EP anteriormente lançado, o álbum Something is Missing é ainda mais pessoal e sentimental, onde um personagem passa por uma viagem interna, saindo da depressão até encontrar a felicidade.
A sonoridade do álbum também tem conceito e importância, visto que as primeiras faixas tem uma produção mais simples, e a medida que o personagem descobre novos sentimentos e se permite a experimentar uma vida diferente, a produção fica mais experimental e diferente, acrescentando instrumentos e efeitos. O otimismo também é o fundo da maioria das composições, que mesmo tristes, passam a sensação de esperança que tudo possa melhorar.
O álbum vem com um booklet de 20 fotos, mostrando todos os bastidores da produção do álbum. Também vêm com dois posters, e na compra do CD do álbum completo, recebe-se o CD do EP Golden Castles, ganhando as faixas Not Enough e So Sad, So Sad como bônus.
Composto e produzido inteiramente pela banda, Something is Missing é uma carta aberta, expondo todos os seus sentimentos e evolução pessoal. É minha primeira vez compondo também, então espero que gostem <3.

01. Something is MissingIniciando o álbum com a faixa-título, Golden Castles trazem um garage rock confortável e sentimental, em que falam sobre como suas vidas parecem "vazias" e que tem a sensação de que algo está faltando o tempo inteiro. Ainda assim, dizem estar dando tudo de si pra saber o porquê disso, funcionando bem pra iniciar o álbum, visto que ele irá trabalhar esse assunto mais profundamente.
 LYRIC:
Close my eyes and I feel like I'm not even in my life
A void that cannot be filled
As I see myself running out of time
Mistake after mistake, it's safer if I distance myself
If theres a way for me to not do what I have done for so long
I give my all, to know whats is missing
I don't feel like anybody know me well enough to understand
Mysterious ways of dealing with a couple of down days
It's like I’m runing towards infinity
In my mind I see what I wanna see and if it goes wrong
I think I'll never be the same, but I know it's only make believe
So I give my all, to know whats is missing
I don't feel like anybody know me well enough to understand
If anyone is able to show what’s wrong with me
Maybe I’Il give myself one more time too
Maybe it stays as its always been
Hazy and they see what we can't see
If I just let go? I know I won’t miss
Oh, I fight for hope
So I give my all, to know whats is missing
I don't feel like anybody know me well enough to understand
If anyone is able to show what’s wrong with me
Maybe I’Il give myself one more time too
02. Ocean of Tears
Com uma sonoridade parecida com a música anterior, em Ocean of Tears a banda diz como ingressaram em uma viagem interior, entrando na própria mente e relembrando momentos únicos. De alguma forma, essa magia não funciona, e eles percebem que o desafio parece maior do que eles realmente achavam. Porém aqui a esperança fica ainda mais forte, e eles mostram como pretendem lutar contra esses sentimentos ruins.
LYRIC:
I decide to explore my mind
The smiles in the photos are still inside
They're all lost
In the curves that life left
Then I fell asleep inside my car
Wondering again if I didn't go too far
And I hide from all, just a writer in the dark
But I said "stay here now, fight the storm"
Stop running like a little boy
I wont survive if I lose more of myself
Here I am, a little tired
I'm not the one to lose this fight
I wouldn't have gotten into the good one
And It may be that no one notices me
But it is my growth that makes that difference
Bye to many things that left me lost
But now I just have, a ocean of tears to cross
I decide to explore my mind
Some good times, I search and I find
Were all these things
That made me who I am
And after so many nights in that car
The world outside seems to have changed a lot
But I want to feel this change after all
I said "stay here now, fight the storm"
Stop running like a little boy
I wont survive if I lose more of myself
Here I am, a little tired
I'm not the one to lose this fight
I wouldn't have gotten into the good one
And It may be that no one notices me
But it is my growth that makes that difference
Bye to many things that left me lost
But now I just have, a ocean of tears to cross
03. New Me, Same All
O titulo da terceira faixa já é explicativo, onde eles contam a aflição de sentir-se mudados, mas as pessoas não perceberem isso. Eles criam a expectativa de serem notados por serem um novo alguém e mais forte, e se decepcionam por não serem vistos da maneira que gostariam de ser.
LYRIC:
There’s a voice inside my head
Saying: you’ll never reach it
I feel like with every step I take
Are lost, without direction
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
And I, I gotta be strong
I'm not near the end
But no one sees that I have changed?
What's the use of all this
It became a "new me, same all"
Everything around me is the same
The laughter, the looks, the same shame
There's nothing you can do to take that away
The truth is, I feel hurt
I may be bathed in blood
And no one will notice me
I don't want to be seen
I want to be understood
But I don't expect anyone to come and save me
I'm not near the end, but no one sees that I have changed?
The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
I'm someone grown up now
I got so high to fall so far
It all comes down to the tale of "new me, same all"
Sadness must have thought I was faithless
When it came for my heart
But for a minute, she was right, I felt nothing
I'm not near the end, but no one sees that I have changed?
The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
I'm someone grown up now
I got so high to fall so far
It all comes down to the tale of "new me, same all"

04. Insomnia
Na música provavelmente mais diversa liricamente do álbum, Insomnia fala sobre como eles jamais terão descanso enquanto não se sentirem completos como pessoa. Tendo também o instrumental mais agressivo do projeto, aqui eles plantam ainda mais perguntas em suas cabeças, parecendo estar no ápice.
LYRIC:
How long can sunlight stay warm in the storm?
How long 'til the bath runs cold?
Woah-oh
Drowned in the glow of my mind
The questions quickly multiply
And ideas begin to fly
(Begin to fly)
I don't sleep when I remember my lies
I don't rest when I see the direction of my life
So cure, cure my insomnia
So that I finally open my eyes
Everything is lost but I can't help but try
I write my destiny, line by line
Just cure, cure my insomnia
So that I finally open my eyes
I was wondering how to let go
Where does the good go?
All my good memories scattered on the floor
Woah-oh
If dreams come true, they end up being too fast
I fantasize about the future and cry about the past
But I need to wake up
(But I need to wake up)
I don't sleep when I remember my lies
I don't rest when I see the direction of my life
So cure, cure my insomnia
So that I finally open my eyes
Everything is lost but I can't help but try
I write my destiny, line by line
Just cure, cure my insomnia
So that I finally open my eyes
While I don't feel good about myself
As long as I feel my life needs anything else
Insomnia will overwhelm me
And I will only sleep again when I have help
So I need to stay, I need to be here
To save a single living piece of me
Swim in my ocean of hope, I live for it
Will my insomnia always be here?
Will my insomnia always be here?
In life, always torturous, to live is to decide
I learn from my mistakes, it's good to remind
Questions surround me
One step away from being free
Will my insomnia always be here?
Will my insomnia always be with me?
05. There Must Be More Than That
Na faixa mais longa do álbum, de ao todo 7 minutos, traz também a mais sentimental e pesada do projeto. A banda se pergunta se há realmente algo mais que só tristeza no mundo, e abrem alas pra segunda parte do álbum, onde o otimismo realmente entra.
LYRIC:
I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was
I was, I was
I was, I was there, I was there
On the cross, so many eyes on me
My sins right here
Reading me from corner to corner
Looking for the real
But these are not my people here
I think everybody know that
Nervous like a wild dog
Waiting for the attack
I was living in the delta
Wasting most of my time
Always in the shade, not knowing what's right
I could sleep all through the night
But I've seen the tides are rising
Where once there was a shore
I can still remember houses
Stripped to the floor
There must be more than that
There is still hope
There must be more than wind
That always takes me away
There must be more than tears
When they pull back the mask
I need that certainty
When you're down for a while trying to get dried out
You feel the time pass by but you don't look around
When you're out for a while trying to get dried out
You feel the time pass by but you don't look around
I were just playing my music but I’m got drowned out
I always go back to the old house and I always end up locked up
And it wasn't for love that I went back home
It was the fault, it was the fear, it's about being alone
I had all of my life to get it right
I had all of that time just to change their minds
At the bottom of the bus, it's a place to sit down
Like a spider in the winter trying not to be found
No use trying to heal when you're getting stepped on
No use selling your soul when you're getting passed on
How could they treat me like a forgotten card?
Dear I, I'm sorry
Thank you very much
What difference does it make when they throw me away?
Is anybody ever gonna hear what I’m had to say?
I was seeing me in the mirror
Everything so so scrambled
I could see myself clearly
For the first time in a while
There was nothing but lines
Nothing but outlines
My spirit sank like a stone
But I heard another voice say
We all walk alone
There must be more than that
There is still hope
There must be more than wind
That always takes me away
There must be more than tears
When they pull back the mask
There must be more than fear
Oh, there must be more than that
There is still hope
There must be more than wind
That always takes me away
There must be more than tears
When they pull back the mask
There must be more than fear
There must be more, there must be more, there must be
Must be more, there must be more, there must be
There must be more, there must be more, there must be
06. Someone
A sexta faixa é simples, mas define claramente as duas faces do projeto. Ela fala sobre como tudo na TV parece perfeito, e nos sentiríamos confortáveis se vivêssemos lá. Mas no final, a banda percebe que a vida é justamente sair deste mundo perfeito da TV e criar seu próprio destino, podendo enfim se sentir "alguém".
LYRIC:
I want to be in the movies
My favorite kind of show
Friendships never affected by life
And I could be in the movies
And I can be the one who makes everyone laugh
I feel like I'm famous
So surrounded but still so alone
Just me, must see
A future made for me to live
So I stay, on screen
With the happy ending
I know I can now run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
Finally I hear: I like your point of view
I like people understanding me
I want to be in the movies
My favorite kind of show
Friendships never affected by life
And I could be in the movies
And I can be the one who makes everyone laugh
I feel like I'm famous
So surrounded but still so alone
Just me, TV
I think I want to live that
I don't want to stay, on screen
I will make my happy ending
I know I can now run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
Finally I hear: I like your point of view
I like people understanding me
I want to be in the movies
My favorite kind of show
Friendships never affected by life
And I could be in the movies
And I can be the one who makes everyone laugh
I feel like I'm famous
So surrounded but still so alone
And I could be
And I could be
And I could be
And I could be
Someone

07. God A sétima faixa já foi lançada anteriormente, como prévia no EP autointitulado. Na canção, acontece o que parece ser uma conversa com Deus. Beirando ao gospel, a música passa a esperança de que tudo pode melhorar. O instrumental é bastante diverso, explorando violão, guitarra e até saxofone, já deixando explicita a evolução na produção, o que significa que o otimismo está realmente acontecendo e aflorando sentimentos.
LYRIC:
God
I will find you
In the winter
I will find you
When the world is asleep inside
I will wake my eyes to starlight
I will find you
I will
God
Light is falling
In the morning
Someone's calling
I will find strength in your power
I'll stop running like a coward
I will find you
I will
Just when I think I'm gone
You change the track I'm on
Just when I think I'm done
You burn me up before the dawn
God
There's no answer
In the end, I know
There is no answer
And when I'm high on things that bug me
The morning news and instant coffee
I'll forget, and forget, and remember
Forget, I will never forget
The way you made me think
I turn the page
Every pen mark leaves a trace
Stars turn in place
I turn the page
Every pen mark leaves a trace
Stars turn in place
I still can see your path
The path you drew for me
08. Drunk on Halloween
Trazendo mais uma música já anteriormente lançada, os Golden Castles relembram os momentos depressivos que viveram. Reconhecem seus erros, suas más escolhas, mas dizem que mudaram e agora conhecem a si mesmos melhor. Este é o passo perfeito para as músicas seguintes, que esbanjam felicidade.
LYRIC:
I don't know where I've been
I tried to act like I didn't know myself
And all the words I didn't want to hear
They always find a way back to me now
Say a new day has dawned, but we no longer get to
'Cause now I know the truth
The leaves are all gone, so who’s moving on?
I know the worst is to come (Let me live the best)
On that Halloween everybody told me
I was already crossing the line (but I didn't hear)
Now the only time I have’s to
Sit and wonder in what I missed
About the fun that wasn't so much fun
I know the truth it's a truth that hurts
After all, what did I want?
Under the lies, I never find my answer
Try to run out the door now
Back to a time that I tried to forget
One day I will know how to answer my questions
After all, why never thought of me?
Can you ease the pain with drinkin’ all night? (Its the answer)
Guess you’ll never know the answer if you never try
On that Halloween everybody told me
I was already crossing the line (but I didn't hear)
Now the only time I have’s to
Sit and wonder in what I missed
About the fun that wasn't so much fun
I know the truth it's a truth that hurts
I made my choices, but I found myself again
What’s done is done, what’s left to say?
I know me better, I know me better now
I know me better, I know me better now
I know me better, I know me better now
I know me better, I know me better now

09. Love In High Places
Na reta final do álbum, a nona faixa fala sobre amor próprio e sobre ver amor por todo lugar. O amor, nesse caso, sendo sinônimo de felicidade, os faz se sentirem livres como se estivessem nos lugares mais altos. O conceito da música é emocionante, e traz uma das melhores produções de todo álbum, ousando em instrumentos diferentes e uma Outro caprichada, que tem uma transição única para a faixa a seguir.
LYRIC:
Yeah
I was once my savior
When no one tried to save me
Be my shining light, galvanize
I let it burn all up inside
But there's a space that I'm saving
To keep me strong
There is a place that I'm saving
I feel another kind of freedom
I will be my lover
Living such a particular love
Out of the big city, the deceased
Look close and the you'll find me, oh
But there's a space that I'm saving
To keep me strong
There is a place that I'm saving
I feel another kind of freedom
Find me in the forest, in the fire
Find me in the midst of my desire
I got love in high places
Love in high places
Find me in the secrets, in the lies
Find me in the darkest place, in the light
I got love in high places
I see the love in all faces
I will be my danger
When I think nothing can change ya
It's Pyrotechnical, spiritual
The way Im scream so free, mmm
But there's a space that I'm saving
To keep me strong
There is a place that I'm saving
Cause I feel another kind of freedom
Find me in the forest, in the fire
Find me in the midst of your desire
I got love in high places
Love in high places
Find me in the sacred, in the pain
Find me in the dry earth, in the rain
I got love in high places
I see love in all faces
(I see love in all faces)
Past will surely break your heart
Then set you free
10. Something New
A penúltima faixa é certamente a mais otimista do álbum liricamente, e sonoramente é a mais diversa e experimental. A banda conta como eles agora estão sentindo algo novo, que é melhor que qualquer outro sentimento. A música sonoramente é um rock muito diferenciado, com uma Outro conceitual e única.
LYRIC:
Don't wanna be a broken record
Don't wanna sing the same refrain
But I cant stop, I can't stop
I’m doing it again
I don't wanna fight the feeling
But it keeps fighting me
I can't stop I can't stop
Feelings are frightening
I know I seemed to be walking in circles
But now I found a line to walk
I think I’ve finally found the courage to admite
To say, "Baby, now I’m living something new"
A sensation that catches all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I’m not gonna get it confused!
I’ll come running with my heart on the line
I’m give it my all this time
Maybe I'm a little hasty
A little bit ahead of myself
But I can't stop, I can’t stop
I’m the one who can help
My mind is like a rollercoaster
But maybe I like being there
No I can't stop, I can't stop
It’s so exciting!
I know I seemed to be walking in circles
But now I found a line to walk
I think I’ve finally found the courage to admite
To say, "Baby, now I’m living something new"
A sensation that catches all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I’m not gonna get it confused!
I’ll come running with my heart on the line
I’m give it my all this time
Listen, I stumble and I fall, I get so emotional
The voices in my head, they made me scared
But I needed some time just to make up my mind
But now are so many clear voices for me
It’s singin’ in my ear
"Baby, now I’m living something new"
A sensation that catches all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I’m not gonna get it confused!
I’ll come running with my heart on the line
I’m give it my all this time, all this time
"Baby, now I’m living something new"
A sensation that catches all my doubts
And turn them upside down now
Baby! I’m not gonna get it confused!
I’ll come running with my heart on the line
I’m give it my all this time
(I’m give it my all this time, all)
(Upside down now)
(Baby, now I’m living something new)
(A sensation that catches me)
(Upside down now)
(Baby, now I’m living something new)
(A sensation that catches me)
11. The Answer
Encerrando o álbum, o título já fala por si só. Aqui, os Golden Castles enfim encontraram a resposta pra todas as suas perguntas, e se sentem livres pra experimentar e viver qualquer coisa.
LYRIC:
Every little inch of floor I usually walk on
In every piece of my immensity
It has an exciting story to tell
Nobody's understands
What life really has to say
There's so much to feel
Every single moment
And sometimes we will stop so
Away
The meaning of life is
Allow yourself to feel
The joy of living
Always
I'm not always on high
I'll still be wrong
I wish I was always right
And that's the part
Where so many whole lives collide
The stars themselves fell
Like on the best nights
Although it seemed that the universe knew
A bunch of friends who couldn't help but laugh
They chose to be painfully obvious in front of us
A little unconscious or in denial of the dangers ahead
We live by pushing our tired hearts into someone's arms
But sometimes, it's also good
Knowing how to be alone
Shards beneath my feet
The pain is already in me
I dance on them, laughing and crying
Behind the perfection we fantasize
There's always something behind
Everything so human
From hello to goodbye
But clocks keep ticking
And life continues
And the past is left behind
Maybe I will try
Surrender my heart
Live adventures that give me life
Or live in my own paradise
Because I can, I will fly
If there’s a next time I’ll fight harder for me
Won’t take for granted what I had
But who I am and who I will be
It is for feelings that I will always have
It's like we live in golden castles
Living our best stories
If I was looking for the answer
I think I already found
It's like we live in golden castles
Living our best stories
If I was looking for the answer
I think I already found
It's like we live in golden castles
Living our best stories
If I was looking for the answer
I think I already found
It's like we live in golden castles
Living our best stories
If I was looking for the answer
I think I already found
It's like we live in golden castles
Showing our best sides
It gets harder, yes, you'll see
But the solution is try
It's like we live in golden castles
Living our best stories
If I was looking for the answer
I think I already found
