Youth 01:39
I’ll believe it when I see it But I am a dreamer so it looks so damn appealing I heard that youth is wasted on the young Damn my mind was reeling And I love the feeling Sometimes I can’t believe it The most beautiful thing I’ve seen She’s not one for curse words But the most beautiful fucking thing I’ve heard Two pills were too real Two pills were too real Two pills were too real Two pills were too real Two pills were too real Two pills were too real I heard that youth is wasted on the young

Dopamine 03:22
Everyone my age is on medicine Spinning their heads against the wind Everyone my age wants to be cruel Words are weapons that we use We all just seem to be passing through Maybe something’s wrong I’m waiting to go home But you’ve got what I need Dopamine Dopamine Now everyone’s prescription is filled Sorry to hear you’re feeling ill If you want it you can have it back There’s nothing that I want more than that I don’t know where my mind is at Maybe something’s wrong I’m waiting to go home But you’ve got what I need Dopamine Dopamine Is it all too much? Is it all too much? Are you out there? Out there

Shake 04:17
And it’s all the same And I’ll try to contain If I have a good day The urge to go and run away All the way to L.A. Don’t worry I will communicate Like it’s a holiday And I won’t be the one to go and hibernate Clarity, fantastic explosions Back track the way My scatter brain One more second glance Didn’t see the ambulance And by chance you were Supersonic Don’t ever take your voice away All I wanted was something that would make you shake To be honest I don’t want it any other way Now I’m haunted and I want it to make me shake Are we all just heavy feathers? Here is the pressure Wear it like a sweater Supersonic Don’t ever take your voice away All I wanted was something that would make you shake To be honest I don’t want it any other way Now I’m haunted but I want it to make me shake Like I wanted it to Like I wanted it to And it’s all the same And I’ll try to contain If I have a good day The urge to go and run away All the way to L.A. Don’t worry I will communicate Like it’s a holiday And I won’t be the one to go and hibernate Clarity, fantastic explosions Back track the way My scatter brain One more second glance Didn’t see the ambulance And by chance you were Supersonic To be honest I don’t want it Supersonic To be honest I don’t want it any other way

Bittersweet 04:04
Speaking of semantics I understand this You try to be heard What is the word? What are the antics you plan on pursuing? Are you even human? Keep saving me from reality that is looming I was just brooding in my bed Alarm clock couldn’t wake me up Or make me lift my head But you changed that It’s like we go way back And a quick year really flew by And it’s wave like but it’s intact You lost a friend and so did I I found you in the summertime I know the pain is tragic I know you’re shifting through the static I know life can be Life can be bittersweet I know life can be I know that life can be bittersweet I was confused a bit but I can get used to this (but I can get used to this) Lying next to me feeling ecstasy Finally I’m not inside my head Couldn’t believe my eyes instead Memories caught like a moment’s breath But I have no breath left Free-fall you’re making me fall I never flew till I met you From my worst phase to my birthday, yea Eager to grow up I was in a hurry Got whiplash as the wind passed like a flurry Maybe my ego is buried Buried It feels good It feels good It feels good to be in love It feels good It feels good It feels good to be enough It feels good It feels good It feels good to be enough It feels good It feels good It feels good to be in love It feels good It feels good It feels good to be enough It feels good It feels good It feels good to be enough

Bummer 03:06
I just want an endless summer Time was never a bummer until it faded out I don’t want to fade away, away I just want to be something that stays I don’t want to fade away, away I want to stay inside your brain All we are Fickle stars Thinking hard of where we are I’m knee deep in memories I can feel it I don’t want them to go So I don’t feel alone now I don’t want to fade away, away I just want to be something that stays I don’t want to fade away, away I want to stay inside your brain Are we all thinking hard fickle stars?

Weather 04:18
I don’t care if the sun comes out I don’t mind being in this thundercloud with you Bright colors in the night when memories are fuzzy Truth be told we’re getting old and it seems like time is running Do you worry about the weather? Does it matter to us two? I’ll never feel better than with you Now I know I have been all alone, blurry eyed Until you were stepping through and came into my life It’s a little depressing but maybe it’s the best thing To happen to me in a long time Worry about the weather (I don’t care) I hope you don’t Worry about the weather (I don’t care) New town, party down, celebrate, another drink New mistake, holiday, lovely day Secret sounds rumors say you’re in the middle of it Fuck them anyway, lovely day Do you worry about the weather? Does it matter to us two? I’ll never feel better than with you Do you worry about the weather? Does it matter to us two? I’ll never feel better than with you Than with you Than with you

Esteem 01:50
Wears all black on the days that she’s feeling ugly You’re beautiful and truth be told I see you right above me Bright colors in the night when memories are fuzzy Truth be told we’re getting old and it seems like time is running Now I know I have been all alone, blurry eyed Until you were stepping through and came into my life Do you worry about the weather? I’ve never felt better Do you worry about the weather?

Zephyr 03:31
I didn’t mean to leave this world mid conversation alone I’d take you anywhere with me Into the sea in this revelry Life is better A seventy degree zephyr I’d like to know what took you so long To show your face to me I’ve been fighting demons that I don’t believe in so long But now they’re gone I didn’t mean to leave this world mid conversation alone I’d take you anywhere with me Into the sea in this revelry Life is better A seventy degree zephyr A seventy degree zephyr A seventy degree zephyr

Coda 03:26
The most beautiful thing I’ve seen The most beautiful thing I’ve seen The most beautiful thing I’ve seen The most beautiful thing I’ve seen Two pills were too real (Two pills were too real) Two pills were too real (Two pills were too real) Two pills were too real (Two pills were too real) Two pills were too real (Two pills were too real) Two pills were too real (Two pills were too real) Two pills were too real (Two pills were too real) Don’t take it personal Don’t take it personal Don’t take it personal Don’t take it personal Life’s irreversible

about

Bittersweet is the new album from Florence/Muscle Shoals, Alabama songwriter and musician Kyle Bragwell, who operates under the moniker Space Tyger.

If it must be defined, Space Tyger makes compelling, well-written, irresistible synth-pop. Throughout nine songs written, performed and recorded solely by Bragwell, Bittersweet follows his path from the disorienting madness of misdiagnosed manic depression to love found, love lost, and an eventual positive outcome.

It’s the sound and story of someone who touched the edge… and grew from it.

The hallmark of Muscle Shoals music is that it comes from the heart—real songs delivered by real people in an honest and compelling way. It’s likely not what you expect from rural Northwest Alabama, but as Space Tyger, Kyle Bragwell cements himself as part of the musical heritage for which the area is known.
