Australian folk-rock group the Paper Kites initially formed around the duo of Sam Bentley and Christina Lacy, who had been performing and writing together since high school. Members David Powys (guitar/banjo), Sam Rasmussen (bass/synth), and Josh Bentley (drums) were recruited from other Melbourne-based bands in 2010 to complete the lineup that was responsible for their debut single, "Bloom." With their warm, harmonic blend and acoustic-oriented indie folk-pop sound, their first EP, 2011's Woodland, began to pick up steam, and by early 2012 the Paper Kites were headlining across Australia and had landed a couple of key television song placements. By the summer of 2012, they had more than enough material for a full-length album yet decided to continue developing their sound live, and issued a second EP instead called Young North. Their debut LP, States, finally arrived in late 2013 and they made their first trip to North America, first supporting Canadian group City & Colour, then embarking on their own headlining tour. Seeking a different direction for their sophomore album, the Paper Kites headed back to the U.S. to work with Seattle-based producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Manchester Orchestra), who helped them develop a more lush, synth-based sound. Released in late 2015, Twelvefour was a sort of concept album that was composed entirely between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m. Arriving in April 2018, their follow-up, On the Train Ride Home, proved to be a dramatically understated affair, consisting largely of hushed acoustic material. Upon its release, the band announced it would be the first of two albums, with the second, On the Corner Where You Live, slated for an August release. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi

The Paper Kites Lyrics
In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness
And you fill my head with you
Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out
Can I be close to you?
Oh-oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh
Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?
When the evening pulls the sun down
And the day is almost through
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping
But my world is you
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you (ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah)
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh

I once met a guy randomly on a metro station. We kept in touch and he used to send me links to songs he liked that made him think of me. For work reasons I had to move to the other side of the country, and this was the first song he shared with me after I moved. I felt so touched by the song that I cried when I listened to it. We spent 2 and half years of a long-distance and sometimes hard relationship. Years later, every time I listen to this song it gets me emotional again. Only difference now is the aforementioned guy became my husband and is right in front of me aaaaaaaall the time, sharing an improvised office at home due to the pandemics. We went from being physically too far, to being too close all the time. And I still love it, and this song too! STATUS UPDATE APRIL 2022: WE ARE HAVING A BABY SOON!! =D ** // ** STATUS UPDATE DECEMBER 2022: Baby is here!! Thank you all for your kind and lovely comments! We both are very happy to have our baby with us, but tired as we never have been before as we are trying to adjust to our new lives with our baby boy. Have a wonderful ending of 2022, and a 2023 full of health, joy, love and peace!

this song feels like a road trip with your soulmate, whether they're romantic or platonic. it feels like a calm autumn night and you stop on the top of a hill to watch the sunset. it feels like a walk through the forest on a winter night with a cozy sweater and headphones. it feels like home.
