i'm killing all my plants
they never stand a chance
away from me they run
i've never had a green thumb
every sunflower
gives me the cold shoulder
away from me they turn
i'm jealous of the sun

i take one look
and the leaves turn brown
i say one word
and they all fall down
my garden is a graveyard
my garden is a graveyard

i think I overwatered you
watched it wilt like a flower
do you think I overwatered you
drowned my every lover

i have dyed my hair green
even painted my skin
i've tried dressing like them
but we'll never be friends
gardening isn't for me
i'm killing every seed
there's no need to pretend
we will never be friends

i take one look
and the leaves turn brown
i say one word
and they all fall down
my garden is a graveyard
my garden is a graveyard

i think I overwatered you
watched it wilt like a flower
do you think I overwatered you
drowned my every lover

my garden is a graveyard

i'm killing all my plants
they never stand a chance
away from me they run
i've never had a green thumb

Ungreen thumb

you're flat and shiny
you never look at me
i only see you
two-dimensionally
you're looking happy
but you don't smile at me
i only know you
two-dimensionally

paperboy, paperboy
you're made out of paper, boy
you might be perfectly drawn
you're nothing but paper, boy

why do I ache for a stranger
why do I bleed when it's over
why do I ache, ache, ache, ache
why do I bleed
for you

Tired

This song vividly yet tenderly captures the difficulty of taking steps into a loving relationship after brutal behaviour from others has destroyed your sense of self. In a powerful blow to the heart, To Be Known offers the hope that everyone can learn to be valued and seen even if life has taught them otherwise until now.

Producer: Phil Saatchi

Bite Me!

To Be Known

Deflating doll
Bouncing around
In every direction
I'm fine
Gasping for air
I'm running out
I am slowly running out
I'm fine

Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces
Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces

Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together

I'm fine

Sad yet inspirational, this anti-bullying anthem combines acoustic guitar with orchestral strings in an epic singersongwriter style. Born from Amelie's experience of being bullied at school, she hopes to raise awareness of the issue, and inspire others who have been or are going through tough times.

Made It Through (Unplugged Remix)

'Tabula Rasa' explores the the itch to shake off the past and start again with a blank slate. It's the third single from Bethany's upcoming EP The Story I Breathe.

ANDRÆ - Kill (Another Enigma Remix)

Je me sens bien

ANDRÆ is an independent one-man band leading his own project, associating dark electronic and organic sounds with soulful vocals. Initially influenced by soul and jazz singers like Brenda Lee, Ray Charles and Nina Simone, he also starts showing interest in experimental pop artists like James Blake, serpentwithfeet and Sevdaliza.

Currently based in London, originally from Brussels, he begins to show a natural talent for all kinds of artistic disciplines, especially visual arts, as a way of escaping a world that does not seem to accept him. He later taught himself piano at a young age, then turned to songwriting and music production in his teens. After releasing a few songs over the past few years, being featured on many blogs and airplayed on shows like BBC 6 Introducing, he prepares a new project: an EP that will come out in the second half of 2020. ‘I don’t fall, I crash’ will be the first song to be released. All songs are written, composed and produced by him, he also designs the artwork and visuals of his projects. 

ANDRÆ sings about his own experiences. He believes in accepting and celebrating our flaws, as we do for any other part of ourselves: « Embrace your weirdness, swim against the current, keep questionning how we think and function as humans. »

Andrae - Scarlet

never will i ever fall
downward, i am climbing
every law is ignored
in spaces i'm building
never will i ever fall
downward, i am ascending
the only road i follow
is the one i'm creating

i keep on climbing
negative mountains
downward, i'm climbing
i'm climbing, i'm climbing

i'm in a negative space
living beneath the ground
right at the very same place
standing upside down
as the alien you made
i live beneath the ground
right at the very same place
standing upside down

i keep on climbing
negative mountains
downward, i'm climbing
i'm climbing, i'm climbing

negative mountains, negative mountains
negative mountains, negative mountains

Negative mountains
