Red Wine Music

This is track 3 of an upcoming 5-track EP out in full May 23rd. It's about unrequited love. It's an acoustic track, just finger-picked acoustic guitar and vocals.

Lyrics:

I wait all day for just one look
Should I wear my heart, pages of an open book
I could lie on my back
But no that would be that

I take my time
Show my face
Whilst I long for your warm embrace
I’m sitting in the kitchen, laughing at all your jokes
But to you I’m just another of the blokes

Now I know that wherever you are
Waiting for you’ll be like waiting on that shooting star
Now I know that wherever you are
Waiting for you’ll be like waiting on that stupid star
The one I never saw
The one that never came
The one that never was
You’re the one that never was

I could shout and I could scream and you wouldn’t turn
I could lay down my life, suffer burns
Still I’m just sitting in the kitchen laughing at all your jokes
While to you I’m just another of the blokes

Now I know that wherever you are
Waiting for you’ll be like waiting on that shooting star
Now I know that wherever you are
Waiting for you’ll be like waiting on that stupid star
The one I never saw
The one that’s never gonna come
The one that never was
You’re the one that never was

I don’t know what it would take for you
To see me as somebody new
And the clouds are out tonight 
But they’re helping me see clearly 
That you’re never gonna want me 
Now I know that wherever you are
Waiting for you’ll be like waiting on that shooting star
Now I know that wherever you are
Waiting for you’ll be like waiting on that stupid star
The one I never saw
The one that never came
The one that never was
You’re the one that never was
You’re the one that never was

Shooting Star

PELICAN ft. Bess Atwell

Cosmonaut is a portrait of a solitary spacefarer orbiting the Earth, admiring our planet and the stars from a distance, set against atmospheric jazz chords. Or maybe… the cosmonaut is a metaphor.

Cosmonaut is the first single from Maaike's upcoming EP, Starbound, set for release on 10 June and available for pre-order on Bandcamp. Starbound is a collection of six songs about space, inspired by everything from real-life space exploration to the imagined worlds of vintage sci-fi.

LYRICS

His eyes are wide with wonder
He sees the oceans' blue
From his round window
At a safe altitude
He's floating in between the other satellites
He’s dreaming of the world

Cosmonaut

Venus and the planets rise
Many times a day
They keep him company
As he charts the milky way
The starlight that he sees, is centuries old
He dreams of other worlds

Cosmonaut

Cities shine so brightly
On the dark side of the Earth
But he is much lighter and quickly passes by
From the ground I see him shooting through the sky
I’m dreaming of his world

I am full of Love
Sometimes I am angry

Melting it in a pot
lyrics
There's an other way
There's an other way

Run with me

1. Run with me

An energetic leap into loops with the electric violin creating a fusion between the fiddle melodies and interweaving fuzzViolin , a great soundtrack of drama and intrigue
