Indie/Pop/Folk - November 2024 (alexrainbirdMusic)

Breaking Acoustic

Breaking Singer-Songwriter

I felt alone for so long 
Deep in my bones I was shaken up
Poured a little salt on the wounds 
I guess it’s all that anyone can do

I’ll wait for you 
I hope you will wait for me too
I’ll try my best 
Not to let you down
There’s so many things 
I’ve got to learn how to say 
Please just know 
I’ll come around

Just feel the beat of my heart  I hope you feel the beat of my heart

You can open your eyes, but still not see
I guess magic ain’t real if you don’t believe 
You can be wide awake, but too numb to feel 
I guess love hurts to hold when you need it to heal 

I’ll wait for you 
I hope you will wait for me too
I’ll try my best 
Not to let you down
There’s so many things 
I’ve got to learn how to say 
Please just know 
I’ll come around

Just feel the beat of my heart

Cuz you’re the only reason I’m trying so hard 
I’d hate to see this tear us apart 
Cuz you’re the only reason I’ve made it this far
Underneath the surface
Just feel the beat of my heart I hope you feel the beat of my heart 
I hope you feel the beat of my heart

Beat Of My Heart

Forget it all
The endless noise of modern life
It’s not what I want 
It pulls me in like a bad trip

And if I’m honest 
I didn’t know I was keeping us 
From deeper love
It’s not something they warn you of 

I was just too scared 
To let myself fall in love again 
But I didn’t know it then 

‘Cause my heart was born in the lonely 
American dark, a forest so endless 
And my soul was covered right up with
American gold 
Oh but I didn’t know
I didn’t know

When you arrive
Gonna throw my arms around you
I might just cry 
Something’s changed in me I swear 

I’m ready now 
For whatever comes 
I don’t need to know
We can work it out 
I promise to be strong when we get there 

I was just too scared 
To let myself fall in love again 
But I didn’t know it then 

‘Cause my heart was born in the lonely 
American dark, a forest so endless 
And my soul was covered right up with
American gold 
Oh but I didn’t know 
I didn’t know

American Dark

"Sunflower" is the fourth single from Cujo Moon's upcoming debut LP.

Written by Cujo Moon.
Produced by Anthony da Costa and Cujo Moon.

LYRICS:

Last night when I looked in your eyes
Felt like it might be the last time
I watched your tail lights fade out of sight  
Slowly walked back inside
And I cried, cried, cried, yea I cried

The fridge is humming in this empty kitchen
It’s got me thinkin' babe it’s got me wishin'
This New Year's Eve is gonna feel so different 
No easy dancin no all night sippin 
Something’s missin, missin, missin, mmmm 

I wish I was getting on a plane 
To fly over the ocean and meet you in Spain 
Wake up in the morning drink coffee in the rain
Then lay back in bed and just dream away
You were my sunflower then
You’re my sunflower today
And always, always, always 

It breaks my heart to know I've got to leave
We met in the dark, now it’s too bright to see
My body is shaking, I can barely breathe 
It’d be so much easier if it was all a dream
But it was real to me, real to me, real to me, mmmm

Now everywhere I go I see your red mustang
Down back country roads and city interstates
It’s funny how the heart gets stuck in place 
While the mind does its best to rearrange 
When things change, they change, they change, yea they’ve changed 

I wish I was getting on a plane 
To fly over the ocean and meet you in Spain 
Wake up in the morning drink coffee in the rain 
Then lay back in bed and just dream away
You were my sunflower then
You’re my sunflower today
And always, always, always 
Always, always, always 
Always, always, always 
Always, always, always mmmm

"Land of the Free" is the 7th single from Cujo Moon's upcoming debut LP.

Written and produced by Trevor Willmott.

LYRICS:

There’s a poison flooding our waters 
There’s a sadness in the air 
There’s people dying just to make a living
There’s people living off the dead 
I don’t know where to go 
I don’t know what to believe 
I wish I had an old radio 
To sing me to sleep 

Let 'em build up their skyscrapers 
Casting shadows on the streets
Someday it won’t just be their pockets 
That are splitting at the seams 
I don’t know where to go 
I can barely breathe
I wish I had an old stagecoach
To carry, carry me
Through the land of the free

‘Cause up on Wall Street, it’s a rich man’s prison 
Endless links of golden chains 
But fancy funerals they ain’t no different 
Can’t smell the roses from your grave 
Oh but we try anyway
Yea we try anyway 

God is out on holiday
The devil’s drinking scotch on a beach 
Neither one’s got much left to say
It ain’t their mess at our feet 
I don’t know where to go
I don’t know how to leave 
I wish I had an old sailboat 
To sail away 
Across the sea
To the land of the free

Land Of The Free

Bertie Newman - Decay
Lyrics & song meaning in description | Indie Folk Central, discover the best new indie folk: https://ifc.sbmt.to

Song meaning: I wrote decay as a way of saying out loud how lonely I was when experiencing grief. When I lost my friend to suicide, one of the first thoughts was how it could be her - she was so adored and yet must’ve felt so unwanted.

lyrics
VERSE 1
Tiring
Tell me where I’m meant to go All your leaves will ever grow I’ve burnt them all outside Finding
Better ways to let it go Caught you feeling ever low Tell me I’m alright
PRE 1
Showed me you were hurting Slipped through a crowd Said you were a burden
Are you happy now ?
CHORUS 1
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ? I’ve cried
Clouds will open up For you love
I’m coming down
VERSE 2
I’m with you
Sacrifice decaying breath
For what might be a lasting test Your life’s worth it all
PRE 2
Showed me you were hurting Slipped through a crowd Said you were a burden
Are you happy now ?
CHORUS 2
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ?
I’ve cried
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ?
I’ve cried
Clouds will open up
For you love
I’m coming down

LYRICS:

Go and do what you’ve got to babe
I’ll be right here if you need an escape
And if you lose your sense of faith
I’ve got some words in my heart I’ll send your way

Like the words of your father on your back
And his tears burning in your eyes
You know there’s no turning back
But if he could change the way of things he’d try

And I know you’re lonely
And I’m not gonna say I’m lonelier than you
But seeing your heart so heavy
Has got me feeling lonely too

I wish I could hold it all for you
Yea I wish I could soak up the rain
I know you’ve got to go for awhile
I’ll wake up to see you on the better days

‘Cause I know you’re lonely
And I’m not gonna say I’m lonelier than you
But seeing your heart so heavy
Has got me feeling lonely too

I hope you’re ok now
I hope you’re ok now
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face
It’s been so long don’t know what to say 
It’s been so long everything has changed
It’s been so long I keep running away
Just hope I wake up

On the better days
On the better days
On the better days
On the better days

On The Better Days

"Follow You Down" is the 10th single from Cujo Moon's upcoming debut LP.

LYRICS: 

Take me back to the times
When we were younger 
I wanna feel that kind
Of relentless hunger

Just lead the way 
And I will follow
I will follow you down 

Take me back to the highs 
When we were lovers
Drinking our way through the nights
All those endless summers 

Just feeling through 
To whatever was under 
Two hearts half blue 
Some kind of blessed thunder

And I would follow
I’d always follow you down 

Take me far far away 
From this cold dark alley
Let the light hit my face 
In some hidden valley 

Just lead the way 
And I will follow 
I will follow you down 
I will follow you down

Follow You Down
