Two and a hal… Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists who go by the name Psychic Twin.
Two and a half years ago, Erin Fein began to pen a series of songs that would become the music of Psychic Twin. These songs emerged as intensely personal, nervously rhythmic, and indebted to the ‘80s new-wave of her youth. While recording by herself, doubling her vocals and singing ghostly counter-melodies, she was overcome with the surreal but persistent feeling that she was writing and recording with her twin. “In an ideal situation,” she says, “there would have been two of me singing and playing the music.”
Rather than a musical clone, Brett Sanderson provides a fluid backdrop, joining Fein’s new material with propulsive electronica and a shimmering synth-rock atmosphere. Lush synthesizer washes and incisive keyboard lines fade in and out over subtly persistent beats that begin simply, but reveal their complexity as songs take shape. The music is anchored by the bright melodicism inherent in Fein’s songwriting, as verses and choruses shift and expand over the course of a song. Psychic Twin makes pop music that is romantic and mysterious; infused with an ineffable longing for escape, for the unattainable, like the impossible desire to make music with one’s own double.
In the summer of 2012, drummer Jonny ‘Magic’ Sommer joined Psychic Twin.
The band is: Alex (guitar/vocals), and Stan (drums/percussion). Psychic Twin recorded a three-song demo at Bias Studios in the winter of 2003. The songs from this session (a mere twelve hours of recording and mixing) were "Caught You Looking In The Mirror," "Flush Reverie," and "Not Invisible."
Stop in Time
Psychic Twin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I always run
And my heart it unwinds
Until there is almost none
No I can't stop in time
So I always run
And my heart it unwinds
No I can't stop in time
So I always run
And my heart it unwinds
Until there is almost none
No I can't stop in time
So I always run
And my heart it unwinds
Until there is almost none
No I can't stop in time
So I always run
And my heart it unwinds
Until there is almost none
And my heart it unwinds
'til there is almost none
No I can't stop in time
And my heart it unwinds
No I can't stop in time
And my heart it unwinds
No I can't stop in time
And my heart it unwinds
No I can't stop in time
And my heart it unwinds
No I can't stop in time
And my heart it unwinds
The lyrics in Psychic Twin's song "Stop in Time" encapsulate the feeling of being unable to slow down or take a break. The repeated phrase "No I can't stop in time" emphasizes the urgency and unrelenting nature of the singer's struggle. The metaphor of the heart unraveling or "unwinding" communicates a sense of physical and emotional depletion.
The chorus also hints at a sense of resignation or acceptance of this state of being, as the repetition of the phrase "So I always run" suggests that the singer has come to terms with their inability to slow down. The song's overall tone is melancholic, but also carries a certain energy and momentum that reflects the singer's restlessness.
Line by Line Meaning
No I can't stop in time
The singer feels incapable to cease the passage of time, always having to keep up with the ticking clock.
So I always run
As a result, the singer is constantly on the move, never slowing down.
And my heart it unwinds
This fast-paced lifestyle takes a toll on the singer, causing emotional stress and exhaustion.
Until there is almost none
Continuing at this rate will soon deplete the artist's heart and spirit, leading to burnout and collapse.

@w. neuman couldn't agree more about Erin's excellence! Such gorgeous melodies and that lovely ethereal voice (sigh)... I could listen to her sing the phonebook. Had a chance to talk with her briefly and she couldn't have been kinder or more friendly. All my music friends get a heavy dose of her stuff from Absinthe Blind to P.T. on mixes and playlists to champion her extraordinary talent. Happy listening to you too and please send my admiration and support to Erin 😀
