Frightened or anxiety An answer only you can see Living in the framework of the factory Holding on to something new Fact or fiction or fantasy Who's the person you present to me? Rushing headlong into calamity I hope your aim is true So let the rain fall down on the trees that line the street Let the world pass beneath your feet Don't let people take the good in the things you do You're too kind to be so cruel Write the things you'll say to me Engaging in so much hyperbole So unsatisfactory Keeping count of what you do Fact or fiction or fantasy What's the product they try to sell to me? Rushing off to the festivities Searching for what's true So let the rain fall down on the trees that line the street Let the world pass beneath your feet Don't let people take the good in the things you do You're too kind to be so cruel You're too kind to be so cruel So let the rain fall down on the trees that line the street Let the world pass beneath your feet Don't let people take the good in the things you do You're too kind to be so cruel You're too kind to be so cruel You're too kind to be so cruel

about

It's about time we started showing you what we've been working on in Portland, and brought out our new Pacific Northwest sound, so...here we are! It's the Crystal Furs, new and improved, rebooted and reborn. This new song is a melodic indie pop tune with lyrics that give you feels - so, yeah, still a Crystal Furs song through and through.

"Too Kind To Be Cruel" is a preview of the new sound we've been working on for our upcoming 2020 releases. We've got a lot more in store!

It's good to be back. <3

This single contains the standard stereo mix of "Too Kind To Be Cruel" plus a bonus mono mix of the song.
