Mansionair: A Front Row Encounter

Mansionair got our attention with their EP for "Hold Me Down" that had two original songs and three remixes. This was also enough for famed label Glassnote to sign them for the US and Europe.

We caught up with the Band at our Texas showcase in March where they performed for us in The Control Room's Garage.

The haze wrapped around lead singer Jack Froggatt and mesmerized us and the crowd in attendance to create a hypnotic showcase of their emerging talents.

I won't hold my finger in the air
And tell you which way the wind blows
For I have tried so many times Damn that look in your eyes
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?
I walk the streets Moonlight hanging above me
Haunting its way through these dreams
You've told me so many times
That this is the place we loose our minds
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
That I will be there?
Dammit, but don't you know that I will be there?
Right around here where we meet in the middle
Streets run like rivers, coming out in sight
Right around here where we meet in the middle
all the soft shivers shoot down your spine
I made up my mind I made up my mind
From when it started, from when it started
I made up my mind I made up my mind
From when it started, we just got started
I made up my mind, I made up my mind
From when it started, we just got started
Right around here, little by little
This tunnel vision closes all your blinds
It will come clear as your iris leads you
Holding your hand, dive inside
I made up my mind I made up my mind
From when it started, from when it started
I made up my mind I made up my mind
From when it started, we just got started
I made up my mind I made up my mind
From when it started, we just got started
I made up my mind I made up my mind
From when it started, we just got started
- Thank you very much.
I wish I kept on dreaming cause deep in the records of my brain
There is a light that won't turn off Three whole days and nothing's changed
I stand with a tall cup of water lost in a daze somewhere
They've got lots to tell me, you just won't give in
Cause I am held back by all these rituals, these rituals
I am held back by all these rituals, these rituals
These rituals, pick it up and put it down
Put out a festival, I'll come around
I'll be keeping sight
So standing in the middle I'll start again
And I am held back by all these rituals, these rituals
I am held back by all these rituals, these rituals
These rituals
These rituals
You tell me the way for the morning, I don't want this pace
Now the sun screams loud upon my skin
And I don't really care, I don't even wanna know
I've been fallin' in the night out I'm in the deep end
And no one else is around, I think they've gone back
And I don't even wanna know about you I don't even wanna know
But I don't even wanna know about you I don't even wanna know
I can hear the noise in your head, say you want it
So take a sip and follow me down
I know you want it, I want it
But I don't even wanna know about you I don't even wanna know
And I don't even wanna know about you I don't even wanna know
I don't even wanna know
I don't even wanna know
I don't even wanna know about you
I don't even wanna know
I don't even wanna know about you
I don't even wanna know
I don't even wanna know about you
I don't even wanna know
- Thank you very much.
Come here, what are you afraid of?
I know it's all too much right now
Come here, I can take the weight off
I know it's all too much right now
So mirror me so I can see, take me to where you put the key
So mirror me and let me
I was sure to find somebody else
Come mirror me
Come mirror me
Come mirror me
Come here, I can take the weight off
I know it's all too much right now
Come here, this is what we're made of
I know it's all too much right now
So mirror me so I can see
Take me to where you put the key
So mirror me
I was sure to find somebody else to mirror me
Come mirror me
Come mirror me
What are you
What are you
What are you
What are you
What are you afraid of?
What are you What are you
Come mirror me
- Thank you very much.
