Artist picture
Melodic, catchy, bittersweet. A modern singer/songwriter. Along the lines of Elliott Smith, Belle & Sebastian, Eric Matthews, Nick Drake, Badly Drawn Boy...
Hailing from New Orleans, LA, Lord Waverly operates by a strong asthetic rooted in modern architecture: Simplify, then repeat. Their lyrics are delicate and melodies are fragile, pretty little things that conjure emotions connected to childhood and innocence, while remaining connected to the more bittersweet relationships we encounter throughout adulthood.

Lyrics
i sat at the foot of mercy hall watching the fellas play football i noticed you weren't there at all you weren't there cheering on your man i never knew what you saw in him he spent all of his time at the gym he'd never be bothered to embark on having a bike ride down the park now i'm very keen on what you wear and the way that your glasses suit your hair i bet that you'd never hear such praise from any the boys what caught your gaze i know that you're better than your man so let me just tell you who i am i am the boy who wants to be the man that you love eternally i am the boy who wants to be the man that you love eternally the man that you love eternally ha la la la la...
