It Might’ve Been Me 

I never should’ve taken the day off 
With a verse and a chorus due 
Never should’ve told my friend I’d meet her new lover 
That I wouldn’t be blue 

 Didn’t go looking for someone 
Just went along for the ride 
But all day watching the two of ‘em laugh so easy 
It made me cry 
 
          It might’ve been me 
          If I wasn’t home doin’ my thing 
          Working on love songs for others to sing 
          It might’ve been me 
               Not writin’ about it 
                      cryin' about it 
                      doin’ without it, no, no
          Might’ve been falling in love again 

Pencil in hand, I wait for ideas 
Put music to every line 
But waitin’ for love, that’s another story 
                                             another rhyme 
                                             and lookin’ more and more like another time.  .  .  when      

          It might’ve been me 
          If I wasn’t home doin’ my thing 
          Working on love songs for others to sing 
          It might’ve been me 

               Not writin’ about it 
                    Cryin' about it 
                    Doin’ without it, no, no
          Might’ve been falling in love  
          Wish I were falling in love again 
          Might’ve been falling in love again

It Might've Been Me

Lock yourself in a cave
Pull the stone across the hole you made
So you no longer hear the sea, the never-ending waves
That crash against the door, you’re not out there anymore
You’re hiding away

Is it lonely?
You must be lonely

We are so cold
In our beds of stone
How I long
To feel warm

Days drift apart in the clouds
Try to hold them, but air runs out
And I no longer see the stars, the never-ending space
That’s howling at my door, I’m not out there anymore
I’m hiding away

Is it lonely?
You must be lonely

We are so cold
In our beds of stone
How I long
To feel warm

Austel - aka Annie Rew Shaw - is a Devon-born London-based artist and producer crafting introspective, brooding music led by ethereal vocals and intimate lyricism.

Influenced by a wide range of artists spanning from Bon Iver to Thom Yorke, Cocteau Twins to Jon Hopkins, Nick Cave to Lykke Li, Austel fuses her background in classical music and songwriting with ambient textures, cinematic soundscapes and contemplative electronica. Her self-released EPs ‘Unfold’ and ‘Cold Love’ received plaudits from the likes of BBC 6 Music, The Line Of Best Fit, O2 Music, BBC Introducing and Fresh On The Net. 

Austel’s latest single ‘Beds Of Stone’ was co-produced with Grammy-award-winning producer and engineer Guy Massey (The Beatles, Manic Street Preachers, Richard Hawley), and featured on Spotify UK & Ireland’s Fresh Finds, RTÉ, Amazing Radio & BBC Introducing. Her highly-anticipated debut album is scheduled for release in February 2024.
