Wasting Time 03:40
Sit back down, think again, in my mind it doesn't make sense. All this talking, these situations, don't seem to help, let's just forget, about these problems, these situations, where the hell is my plectrum again? Let's just make music, strum this six-string, same as before, let's just forget. We're wasting time. (We are wasting time, we're wasting time) Sing it to me, say it to me. Stop wasting time. (Sing it to me) Sing it to me. We're wasting time. (We are wasting time, we're wasting time) Sing it to me, say it to me. Stop wasting time. (Sing it to me) Sing it to me. So indecisive, can't comprehend, you need a jacket to work this out. Stressing relations, the same people, again and again, let's just forget, about these problems, these situations, where the hell is my plectrum again? Let's just make music, strum this six-string, same as before, let's just forget. We're wasting time. (We are wasting time, we're wasting time) Sing it to me, say it to me. Stop wasting time. (Sing it to me) Sing it to me. We're wasting time. (We are wasting time, we're wasting time) Sing it to me, say it to me. Stop wasting time. (Sing it to me) Sing it to me.

Here's my confession now, God to honest truth. I hope you feel the same way that I feel about you. I'm getting signals, I hope it's true. Just a minute now, I must be dreaming. So cliché that I don't think I believe it. If I heard you right, then I'll be leaving. I'll be damned if you think I'm cheating. You'll live oblivious but I can't relate to, this existence, I'm gonna have to say goodbye. How long will this go on and on and on? We could be damaging sofas, emotionally closer. Sod's law, time to have to say goodbye. How long will this go on and on and on? The clock is ticking now, what ya gonna do? It's getting harder for me to take my eyes off you. It can't stay this way, that's the truth. Just a minute now, I must be dreaming. So cliché that I don't think I believe it. If I heard you right, then I'll be leaving. I'll be damned if you think I'm cheating. You'll live oblivious but I can't relate to, this existence, I'm gonna have to say goodbye. How long will this go on and on and on? We could be damaging sofas, emotionally closer. Sod's law, time to have to say goodbye. How long will this go on and on and on and on? Here's my confession now. God to honest truth. The clock is ticking now. You'll live oblivious but I can't relate to, this existence, I'm gonna have to say goodbye. How long will this go on and on and on? We could be damaging sofas, emotionally closer. Sod's law, time to have to say goodbye. How long will this go on and on?

The sun's up, the moon's down, doesn't matter which way 'round. I'm here for you waiting, I'm always waiting. The time is right, to let yourself get lost in the night. I'm always waiting for you. For you, for you. Dance with me, groove with me, show me your moves baby. You can dance with me, all day and all night. The rhythm controls you, jump with me, bounce with me, throw your arms around with me. Lost in the morning light. Dance with me, groove with me, show me your moves baby. You can dance with me, all day and all night. Time has arrived, please take my hand, don't put up a fight. The music's electric, no I don't play Scalextric. The small talk you're making is frankly pathetic. One o'clock, you wanna dance with me, Two o'clock, you don't wanna be seen, Three o'clock, you're leaving with me. (It's getting risky) My body is telling me no. (It's getting risky) But the music's telling me yes. Dance with me, groove with me, show me your moves baby. You can dance with me, all day and all night. The rhythm controls you, jump with me, bounce with me, throw your arms around with me. Lost in the morning light. Dance with me, groove with me, show me your moves baby. You can dance with me, all day and all night. Dance with me, groove with me, show me your moves baby. You can dance with me, all day and all night. The rhythm controls you, jump with me, bounce with me, throw your arms around with me. Lost in the morning light. Dance with me, groove with me, show me your moves baby. You can dance with me, all day and all night.

Signals 04:59
They told me, keep your enemies close, but you even closer. Now I wonder, are you one and the same? Always playing these games. My mind only one aim, that one day, I'll fall. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no. Trying to avoid the crowd, keeping talk underground. Days shifting, bringing a new you, same person, different view. Silver whispers, driving me insane, because I know your heart is set a different way every day, I know the truth is never set like fact. I'm a believer that time is a healer, but I would rather you just call. Until then you can be my friend and, I'll fall. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no. I'm sending S.O.S.'s, mixed signals through the air which we are breathing, I can't control these demons, no, no.

Give It All 02:52
Every day, the lights all seem a little brighter. If you keep walking away, you'll turn your back on what might become. Don't be sorry. Are you ready? Are you ready? Turn the tide and force the sky, to give you what you want and keep on wanting. Give it all don't hold on. Just don't be sorry, don't be sorry. Every way, you've lost the chance, the time is wasted. Don't let your mind believe in darkness, fate hopelessly fading. Don't be sorry. Are you ready? Are you ready? Turn the tide and force the sky, to give you what you want and keep on wanting. Give it all don't hold on. Just don't be sorry, don't be sorry. Turn the tide and force the sky. Give it all, don't hold on. Turn the tide and force the sky, to give you what you want and keep on wanting. Give it all don't hold on. Just don't be sorry, don't be sorry.

about

The debut EP by Läbi Linna.

For those who may not know, the band's name is Estonian.
'Läbi' meaning through, and 'Linna' translating as Town/City.

The City and the Stories represents the amalgamation of experiences the band has had over their years spent in Tartu. The 'City' referencing not only the band and their storytelling, but the city of Tartu itself and the tales it has to share!

Finally realising the band's core sound, having moved on from their stripped back acoustic beginnings; The City and the Stories brings you the fun-loving party style that the guys have come to grow into and have shared during their many gigs... through the town.

*see what we did there?*

;D
