Why Are You So Afraid To Dance

I Was Wrong

Lying to myself all of the time
Trying to pretend that I'm doing just fine
It always comes out in the worst way
Try to fall asleep but the daylight finds me

Are we right here? Are we slipping away?
Are we just old bones that need to decay?
Oh I don't know you're just spreading me thin
I tried making it work but I just can't win

It's funny how things - they never go the way I planned in my head

Maybe this is not for us
I'm not one to keep in touch
Trust me, you're not losing much
I don't like who I've become
You know where I'm coming from

This was never really what I wanted
Maybe my reality is haunted
Wish I could erase all of my flaws, at least I'm being honest
Can we take it back to where it started?
Swear to God I really tried my hardest
Don't know if I could listen to the silence
At least I'm being honest

Losing You

This is a story of a long lost friend who vanished from her life but still exists somewhere else. It’s about losing a part of yourself without warning and spending the years after searching places and faces for this missing piece.

Title track from the upcoming album "No Better Time" out November 20th on Night Bloom Records.

No Better Time

Latin was my first love, and music is my second. I've utterly fallen for those of the soulful, creative, inspiring and inciting kind. The one composed with heart and soul, the one performed with passion and aplomb. Searching for a way to express my love for and enthusiasm about music, I've found twitter is a decent and effective place to do so, yet given my wordy nature 140 characters one day simply didn't suffice to promote the music I enjoy anymore. This is how my music blog - carpe carmina - came into being (a heartfelt thank-you goes out to my favourite UK band High/Low for the encouragement to start writing about music, to my all time favourite band for so many years by now, Midnight Hour, for making me realize my affection for music and my wish to help those artists in whose talent I believe in, and to all those people who read my blog, who recommend and submit music for it). Find me under @NessiHolt on twitter and make sure to listen to @RadioKC to catch a playlist of mine each tuesday at 10pm (UK). Listen to Radio Kaos Caribou, Dr. Bones music show and Dave Monk's BBC Introducing Merseyside in general. It's worth it, it's where I - among others - find the music I eventually embossom.
