All I can hope for is for you to get better

Cause all I can take is no more

So I'll hide where I can

Away from you and your friends

Leaking tears over beers once again

relative: “oh! are you sure people will relate to these if they’re not about love?”

me: *stares at them with a raised eyebrow because i tuned half of their sentence out*

Keaton Henson - You

If you must wait, Wait for them here in my arms as I shake. If you must weep, Do it right here in my bed as I sleep. If you must mourn, my love, Mourn with the moon and the stars up above. If you must mourn, Don't do it alone.

If you must leave, Leave as though fire burns under your feet. If you must speak, Speak every word as though it were unique. If you must die, sweetheart, Die knowing your life was my life's best part. And if you must die, Remember your life.

You are, You are, Oh, you are, You are, Oh.

Hard Drive - Cassandra Jenkins (2021)

She said, "Oh, dear, I can see you've had a rough few months But this year, it's gonna be a good one I'll count to three and tap your shoulder We're gonna put your heart back together So all those little pieces they took from you They're coming back now They'll miss 'em too So close your eyes I'll count to three Take a deep breath Count with me"

This is another WIP for a forthcoming release, titled 'Aeroplane'.

It's a meditation on death, but from a beautiful place.

I’m allowed to waste part of my day

Getting high and running late

Holding on to my younger ways

When time was long and nothing changed

5 AM paradise morning air

Someone take me back to the start again

We’ll get it right then walk away

Never have to ask you to lie

5 AM paradise

Old Sea Brigade, Luke Sital-Singh

Beth Gibbons: Tell Me Who You Are Today (Lives Outgrown 2024).

If I could change the way I feel If I could make my body heal Free from all I hear inside All brought forward from my hand A pagan sorrow my command Here am I a lonely love Falling now Falling in Come over Listen to me Tell me all you want to say Tell me who you are today Free from all I hear inside Come over here Listen to me   Come over here Listen to me   Come over here… to me.

In Tell Me Who You Are Today, Beth Gibbons delivers a deeply emotional performance that showcases her ability to convey vulnerability and authenticity through her voice. From the very first notes, the song unfolds with an almost intimate delicacy, as if every note and word were whispered directly to the listener. The minimalist production, centered on a sparse instrumental accompaniment, allows Gibbons' voice to take the spotlight, baring the soul of the song.

The composition is simple yet effective, built around a melancholic melody that evokes a sense of introspection. Gibbons handles each phrase with an almost tactile sensitivity, playing with vocal dynamics to intensify emotions at key moments. The structure of the track avoids abrupt changes or grandiose moments, opting for a slow progression that mirrors the song’s emotional narrative. It’s an approach that doesn’t aim to surprise but to slowly envelop the listener in its atmosphere.

One of the most striking aspects of the song is how it combines Gibbons' fragile vocals with introspective lyrics that seem to explore themes like identity and self-reflection. The words resonate with raw honesty, leaving room for the listener to interpret the message through their own experiences. The absence of unnecessary embellishments in the production reinforces the feeling of sincerity, making every element of the song feel essential and carefully placed.
