TRANQUIL w/ KALIBVR

Lo-fi and heartache, together at last(?)

Mornings hurt
I wake up on the cold tile
This bathroom floor
Is feeling like my bed now
I slide the curtain
Crawl into the tub
Curled up, cheek down
As I let the water run
I just stay here for hours
Paralyzed and powerless
Try to make sense
How did we up in this mess?
I can’t piece it, the dots don’t seem to connect
I often find myself lost
And losing self respect
Hot water's running low
Warm drops turn to icicles
Buts still I be numb to it all
Your love used to set me free
Now I’m a prisoner of your memories
Got mixed emotions like my mix of potions
Chasing thoughts of you and me
Tequila shots and some Hennessy
Can’t tell whats light from dark 'cause
It’s all dark to me
Light up a Marlboro before I’m out the door
Sun's down now but thats just how my days start

On the night train sittin' all alone
Cried for help from every number on my telephone
Our love like yellow pages—
you and I could never make it to today

Tearin' photos off my bedroom wall
As the tears dissolve into the alcohol
A love like yellow pages—
forgotten, antiquated till today

I felt closer to God when I was with you
Now I question God 'cause I ain’t with you
Our love was strong but we gave more strength to our issues
And the liquor only amplified everything that we felt inside
I was rooting for us, tried to get to the root for us
Displaced blame we should both be ashamed
Guess Amy was right, love is a losing game
Losing sight of those vows I thought we would one day exchange
I’ll never forget that night
You took me out for my birthday
We left the concert early
To turn up in your city
Everything was pretty perfect
Till the picture turned ugly
In my face screaming curses and your insecurities
Then you drove off and left me in the streets
I had 2% left on my phone
It was just enough for an Uber home
And I haven’t seen you since
Still feel the bruises on my soul from your ego blows

On the night train sittin' all alone
Cried for help from every number on my telephone
Our love like yellow pages—
you and I could never make it to today

Tearin' photos off my bedroom wall
As the tears dissolve into the alcohol
A love like yellow pages—
forgotten, antiquated till today

Yellow Pages (feat. Phoenix Joans, And Other Things)

Aurora One is the songwriting moniker of artist, rapper, and soundtrack composer Mel Lamagna, based in Jersey City, NJ. Wielding a dark, brooding, romantic, bittersweet R&B sound lined with lo-fi influences, vivid imagery, and a flair for the mystical, he sheds light on the beauty within the flaws of life and love, and seeks meaning in the pain of heartache and letting go.

Classically trained in piano from the age of seven, Mel began writing music in high school as soundtracks to short films. With the debut of Aurora One, his sound evolved into a deep, otherworldly melancholy with vibrant melodies and a chillhop flavor. Influenced by hip-hop and lo-fi composers the likes of Nujabes and Idealism, and occasionally sporting hypnotic rap flows inspired by that of Eminem and RA Scion of Common Market, Mel bridges these genres through Aurora One to tell his story, whether it be through writing for featured artists or performing verses himself. 

Aurora One's new single, “Memory”, bilingually tells the story of a love never found and a friendship long since forgotten—with the help of a featured artist with a golden voice, Angelo Ibasco (And Other Things). As a nod to their common Philippine heritage, the song’s latter half was written purely in Tagalog. 

“Memory” releases on all digital streaming platforms in August 2020.
