Tomato Song is the new single from meka

Release link: https://idol-io.ffm.to/tomatosong
meka on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/singingblackhole/

meka, the musical project of Melissa Lingo, blends introspective indie folk with intricate fingerpicking influenced by Nick Drake and Vashti Bunyan. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, meka explores themes of grief, hope, and nature. Raised in a mountain town dedicated to astronomy, her music reflects a fascination with the cosmos and ecology, shaped by travel and solitude. Her songs turn life’s pain into ethereal beauty, like candlelight in dark corners.

Julia Logan Releases Acoustic Versions of “Mirrors” and “Moodswings”

Swedish-American artist Julia Logan unveils intimate acoustic renditions of “Mirrors” and “Moodswings,” two standout tracks from her sophomore album Faraway Nearby. Stripped down to their emotional core, these reimagined versions showcase Logan’s haunting vocals and delicate songwriting in a raw, unfiltered light. A quiet, powerful companion to the original recordings, the release offers a new perspective on the emotional depth of her latest work.

Moodswings (Alternative Version)

Something Strange is the opening track on meka's new album The Rabbit.

American folk artist meka delivers a hauntingly poetic tribute to the archetype of the hag—an ode to forgotten power, feminine chaos, and the flickering persistence of hope. With stripped-back acoustic textures and evocative storytelling, this standout track from her album The Rabbit channels the spirit of myth and mischief, casting a spell that lingers long after the last note. For fans of Adrianne Lenker, Joanna Newsom, and Alela Diane, meka is a voice that demands quiet and rewards deep listening.

LYRICS:
Hearts like leaves they float along
Where oh where do they belong
Hearts like leaves they float around
Will they ever find the ground?

Tired of winds that change my ways
Won't you give our hearts some weight
Won't you give our hearts some weight
So we fall in the right places

Hearts like leaves they're to and fro
Hard to know where they will go
Aren't you tired of floating on
Floating til your time is gone

Tired of winds that change my ways
Won't you give our hearts some weight
Won't you give our hearts some weight
So we fall in the right places

When the winds have changed my ways
Won't you give our hearts some weight
Won't you give our hearts some weight
So we fall in the right places

Lyrics
Take the sermon in your head
Throw it out, see what takes root instead
All that weighs heavy on your soul
Let it go, before it takes a hold
I needed someone to take me down
A moment to turnaround
A second to steady myself
From falling
You needed someone to break your heart
A moment to fall apart
A second to steady yourself
From falling

The television glows from down the hall
An empty room, for living no more
The people who lived there once upon a time
One by one, moved on left you behind

I needed someone to take me down
A moment to turnaround
A second to steady myself
From falling
You needed someone to break your heart
A moment to fall apart
A second to steady yourself
From falling

You weren’t invited you’re just there to watch the scene
You’re not entirely sure what keeps your conscience clean
You never lived until you found what’s surely been no reason to

Lyrics:
Honey
Grab my Damascus blade
I’m going to the top
The top of the food chain

I’m hustling
Just like the pros would do
And these fuckers couldn’t stop
Me if they wanted to
Oh

It’s hip not to try
It’s hip not to try

Fill me 
With nitroglycerin
Then shoot me to the stars
I’ll fade into oblivion

It’s so cold
Up in the stratosphere
But goddamn it I’m a man
And space boys don’t cry no tears 
Oh

It’s hip not to try
It’s hip not to try

Lyrics:
I want you to love me
‘til all I can do is hate you
To kiss me til you bruise me
To touch me til it scars

And I want you to hold me
Til my mind has eroded
Til all my bones are broken
Til everything goes dark

To suck my blood and fill me up
With memories of you

I want you to fuck me
Til I can’t say your name
For fear that it will crush me underneath it’s tiring weight

I want you to wear me out
Just like you wear my clothes
To sew your smell into my sheets
To wreck the scent of roses

And I want to be there
Until I hate my birthday
‘Cause I can’t stand one more day
Growing old without you

To hold me til you drop me
Just like a screaming baby
To love til we get lazy
And lay down on the floor

Til I forget the best bits
And only see the rest

As long as you're able
Until I get stale
Before I admit
That it’s better to quit
Before I admit
That it’s just not working

I want you to love me
Til everything is hurting
To alcohol stops working
Til everything is numb

I want you to love me
Til nothing else seems worth it
Til living is a burden
Underneath your thumb

To kiss my head
Sweet angel of death
And tuck me into bed

Shimmertraps - Lilac

A Melbourne, Australia based indie/folk-rock artist with 70s piano pop influences, Daniel Trakell's double-tracked vocals and songwriting style have drawn comparisons to artists like Elliott Smith and The Beatles. After winning a Triple J Unearthed competition in 2016 to make a music video Daniel released his debut EP the following year, with the video for the title track "Paradise" being debuted in October 2017 by Rolling Stone Australia, who noted the track's "haunting, melancholic isolation and just-off-centre obscurity."
