Camp Comfort by FayRoy
This is a love letter to my childhood home on Indian Rocks Beach. As far back as I can remember, the cottage was always called “Camp Comfort”. Lyrically this was written from the perspective of confessing one’s affinity to a romantic interest, but the visual backdrop is an equal partner in sharing the focus of the song. It’s about humid late nights spent with best friends diving into a surreal calm black void of an ocean. It’s also about finding and and falling in love. A sentimental last era of having Camp Comfort as my home. Sending me off, but not alone. I’ve spent every summer of my life in front of that house up until this point. As bittersweet as it is, all chapters have a beginning and an end. I think that making a habit of reminding yourself to enjoy the current moment is crucial to a life of happiness and sometimes our personal expression is the best way to immortalize our fondest memories.

Lyrics
LONG LIVE THE ENDLESS NIGHT
DIVING IN THE OCEAN'S VIRADESCENT LIGHT
PAUSING FOR A MOMENT TO SEE
MY HANDS IN FRONT OF ME
YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN
BUT DIDN'T SAY IT OUT LOUD
I TRIED TO FIND YOU OUT FROM EVERYONE AROUND
EVERY MOVE, NEEDLE TO THE GROOVE I SANG YOUR TUNE
CAN'T YOU SEE? CHECK IT OUT
BECAUSE IM TRYING TO GET YOUR EYES TO ME
YOU'RE EVERYTHING I WANT
EVERYTHING I NEED
TAKING KEEPSAKES FROM MY MISTAKES
NAVIGATING LESSONS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
I NEED REFUGE FROM THE MENTAL STATE I THINK THIS IS THE PLACE
TELL ME SOMETHING BUT DONT SAY IT OUT LOUD
TAKE ME TO CAMP COMFORT
LAY ME ON THE GROUND
IVE WAITED SO LONG
AND KEPT MY HEART STRONG WAITING FOR YOU
YOU'RE EVERYTHING I WANT
YOU'RE EVERYTHING I NEED
AND WHEN I GO TO SLEEP
ITS YOU I SEE
