Sweetie Pie by Orchards
Recorded with Jack Wilson (Fickle Friends), Sweetie Pie juxtaposes the bands darker sonic shift found on previous offering I Feel Terrible with sickly sweet vocal melodies from Lucy Evers and reverberated, jangly guitars from Sam Rushton that feel warm and welcoming, yet tinged with an air of bitterness. But despite the themes of hurt and broken hearts (“I’ll never count my blessing since you said that it’s pathetic but / Oh sweetie pie / I don’t think you’re mine” Evers sings), it’s a track that has all the promise to be the math-pop sound of the summer, huge signalongs and all.
“Sweetie Pie was quite an old demo we have been playing around with for a while now, we had a version of it that we took to Jack and we really changed it up a lot and we love how it’s taken on a totally new personality.” says bassist Dan Fane. “During the time we recorded this one we were listening to a lot of Darwin Deez and Avril Lavigne and I think it really shows. This one is going to be fun live!”

Lyrics
And now I’m falling asleep alone
I think I thought you were staying home
I gave you 1, 2, 3, 4, chances
To say that we’re hopeless romantics
But it’s clear we’re not
To think that You truly believed that
We were meant to be
I’ll never count my blessing since you said that it’s pathetic but
Oh sweetie pie
I don’t think you’re mine
You give me something to scream about
I wish I never tried to keep you around
However bad worse or better it gets
Please treat me like we were never even friends
Goodbye, maybe I’ll see you again
Go!
To think that You truly believed that
We were meant to be
I’ll never count my blessing since you said that it’s pathetic but
Oh sweetie pie
I don’t think you’re mine
The contents of your context doesn’t change the fact you’ve got a power complex
A 1000 times I know you’ve lied
