"Big White House"
Buildings can speak to us and our ideas of beauty, even without housing something we respect. This was the song that initially inspired the concept for the EP.

"Denman Road"
The history of a building changes with the people who live inside it. Sometimes the history associated with a building can be so extreme that we feel the need to change our environment.

"Unnatural Spaces/Head in the Clouds"
When moving from one building to another there is an abrupt change to our sense of home. People feel nostalgic for their old ‘home’ yet are excited by the idea of a fresh start. The song questions when and how the feeling transitions from an old space to a new one.
