1.
dreams fail to ring true I’m lit up to prove that I’m still trying friends know where I am but don’t wanna go leave their girlfriends you were always around friends used to be weirdos now they’re just weird I’m still here strange, nobody gets it nobody cares I’m still here you were always around my time was coming now it’s running out wasn’t I suppose to be soon we’ll frame pictures of us at our best phosphorescent by now I guess this is it, this is it
2.
seemingly under the weather eyes all red, spaghetti legs from living the dream, right? eight alarm clocks by the bed but no one in it I stay up all night round here I let it slide dig our brains out and tunnel back in time nowhere to run I grapple with it in my sleep when the sun comes up I know I’ll be under the gun I forgot what I was doing could it be I wasn’t thinking? sounds about right, right? the great unknown is so romantic until you’re old enough to die round here I let it slide dig our brains out and tunnel back in time nowhere to run I grapple with it in my sleep when the sun comes up I know I’ll be under the gun dream it up and sleep it off again no wonder why it takes a lot to throw away the key to your old life leave or leave it alone?

Ask Again 02:58
sometimes I wonder if that was the night when it started she passed me her number and asked me to call but I never did and to this day I can’t swim in a pool of light without wanting to hide I’m in limbo ever since change my mind and then change my mind again but now it’s a retreat a first defense: wishing she’d waltz right back in and ask again

Pearl Diver 02:28
six letters spelled out on his business card: l a w y e r and that’s just what he says when people ask but I know him better than that I know he’s a pearl diver at heart barefoot in the grocery store get-out-of-jail-free-cards can’t compete with the sunny Philippines looming dark suits and black leather shoes what will I say? that’s what I think about as the candles burn out on my birthday cake

Ok 03:09
pull the rug out from right under me tie my shoes together in my sleep where’s the waiver and where do I sign? how can I completely fool myself that I’m still alive? a right hook to the jaw reads like poetry now good to go, I’m volunteering alibi’s gone with the wind can’t wait to see if they’ll pass the test watch me trust fall from Mount Everest they don’t try as hard anymore I don’t try at all anymore can you scare the living shit out of me one more time I want to be weightless one more time I want to feel alive I’m ok

Air Lasso 01:54
vegan taxidermy crowds every wall trophies of the life you lead or pioneer plaques orbiting your tv-set? is there someone out there for you as well? half the time you’re all out dancing a real cowboy with a cause half the time you’re far away it’s starting to show between the laughs you’re holding your heart in your hands an air lasso won’t catch no one until you find an idiosyncratic mind among the bourgeoisie I want to believe

about

Wallentin Richardsson’s musical endeavors started by consecutive years of working in a studio and recording other musicians. When he later found himself in need of a place to pour his emotions and thoughts into, he gathered up some friends around the studio and recorded an album.

‘No Longer, Not Yet’ is filled with blazing pop songs and slow burning folk rock ballads that embodies everything there is to love about high quality indie-music. It’s delicate orchestral touches along with Wallentin’s fragile vocals makes the record into an ideal listening experience filled with nostalgia and recognition.
