Lyrics:
I'll turn into your hopelessness
And keep myself deprived
Of all the things that eat you up
And make you hide inside
You won't understand what's happening
Just feel the sands unraveling 
And as thoughts outnumber days
And old ships drift off into the haze, but 

Time tastes better when you're nearby
Old thoughts linger in your spare 
Time tastes better when you're nearby 
Old thoughts linger in your spare time. 

But we'll start again
Taking one step back but two ahead
Just take a look at what we've done
All things tied up can come undone

It tastes bitter when you're not here
My dreams flicker and dissa(pear) 
It tastes bitter when you're not here 
Can dreams flicker and re-appear? 

Time tastes better when you're nearby
Old thoughts linger in your spare 
Time tastes better when you're nearby 
Old thoughts linger in your spare time.

The Source

Genre fluid sonic dreamers

'Life Long' is a cathartic inner-monologue of love, self-help and life cycles. Created by lyricist and producer Tal Janes and producer Joseph Costi, Bahla’s second body of work invites us into their genre-fluid world of close-knit rhythms, celestial textures and the ethereal, yet powerful vocals of Portuguese singer Inês Loubet.

​
Their debut album ‘Imprints’ (2018) saw the duo dig deep into their Jewish roots, creating a cinematic trip through contemporary jazz and melodies drawn from across the diaspora. Described by MOJO as ‘Arrestingly different’ the group had several festival dates, radio appearances (BBC/JAZZ FM), a highly successful UK tour and a 7” single release with British label ‘Gearbox Records’, featuring two tracks from the album.

​
Their most recent offering 'Life Long', a 5-track self-produced EP, builds on their signature sound and has a strong focus on lyricism, production and hooks akin to the likes of Little Dragon, James Blake and Thom Yorke. Joined by long time collaborators; drummer Ben Brown, bassist Andrea Di Biase and the creative stellar work from mixer Alex Killpartrick, the EP also sees a new collaboration with electronic producer Mark Cake on the self-titled track ‘Life Long’. Leaving the door open to new sonic possibilities, Bahla’s identity continues to bloom with discovery whilst being grounded in rich traditions.
