about

In 2014 in Canada in a freezing Garage, there was an upright piano. I had argued with my boyfriend ‘til something like 4AM the night before & I was due for some alone time. So at his mothers house In the garage after dinner I managed to get some time & this song pretty much wrote itself. I recorded chord/lyric notes on my BlackBerry & put the song away til 2017 where it was received in demo form to around 80 people. After that it gets foggy, but I got back to work last year - & realised that this song was begging to reach its full potential. So here it is. Thank you for listening 🙏🏻🌸🙏🏻🌸

lyrics

Couches full of these empty boxes
Faces on the clocks watch you lose your will
The kitchen's dusty slate needs cleaning
Eyes glued to the TV, mind switched off.

Night time, full stop, distraction is over
You're still holding on to your grudge
Your 2am tired eyes, they need paid attention
& I'm so tired of, seeing you let every chance go by

Hours go & these batteries empty
They need a change, but it slips you up
Company dissipates, leaving you quiet
When will you ever make up your mind?

Draft leaks in from an open window
Curtains drawn to hide the light
Colder night now leave you lonely
But, will the air bring you around?
