Oh, how I appreciate that you added the lyrics. Even though I'm aged far beyond the content/plot. But it helps me figuring out the match of vocals, lyrics and message. Well done! :)

The single from the upcoming album 'Similarities Between Fish And A Chair', out 04/30.

Similarities Between Fish And A Chair

Possible Plausible Reversible

Possible Plausible Reversible (feat. Dai Sekiguchi)

Dal i fownsio yn y goleua​dau... Still bouncing in the lights!

Noson Arall yn y Ffair

Slowly, slowly does it.
I need time to separate my head 
My heart 
Controls it
and I feel
I am prone to overfeeling
But please understand how long I spent so tired of living

But these are only emotions
And none of them matter

I'm well aware that I can be intense at the corner of my eye I see you are rolling yours.
I'm well aware that I can be intense at the back of my mind I can see you are changing yours.

Slowly, slowly does it.
I need time to separate my head 
My heart 
Controls it
(Burns it to the ground)
And I think
I am prone to overthinking
But please understand how long I spent so tired of living

Cause it is all an Illusion
And none of it matters

I'm well aware that I can be intense at the corner of my eye I see you are rolling yours.
I'm well aware that I can be intense at the back of my mind I can see you are changing yours.

Illusions (Radio Edit)

Seventeen. Is there a more complicated age? Not quite yet an adult, but impatient to be treated like one; navigating an avalanche of new experiences and urgent emotions, dismissed by the grownups as “teenage angst” or “just a phase”. An exhausting quest to negotiate a new space for ourselves, juggling the interests of parents, teachers and friends while not knowing to question their motives. 

This song is an excavation, a letting go, an act of self-forgiveness.

Traumatic events from the past can feel just as fresh, years later, the ghosts of our former selves creeping up to tap us on the shoulder with icy fingers. 

Sometimes we need to package up our memories with tidy words to dispel the haunting. 

Sometimes we just need to stop blaming ourselves. 

Sometimes writing songs is like painstakingly sculpting sounds from thin air; other times they arrive in a whoosh, fighting to be heard. “Seventeen” appeared on a summer Saturday evening, falling out of me in jagged swathes.

Facing up to our ghosts isn’t a pleasant experience, but this song helped me over a major stumbling block from my past, bringing me a fresh perspective and new freedom.

Sand And Blood (The Desert Trilogy EPs Vol 2)

Land Of The Hummingbird

Dean Owens: Land Of The Hummingbird (Ft Gaby Moreno)

Released on June 4th, the second single from Nova Soon's forthcoming home-recorded sophomore LP is 'Telling The Bees': a dark, minor-bluesy, alt-country shuffle, propelled by jazzy double bass, handclaps & descending guitar riffs. Inspired by the titular tradition — where beekeepers would whisper secrets to their hives, hoping the bees would one day lead them safely to heaven in exchange — the lyrics follow a city girl called Holly on her odyssey through a mythic countryside where 'the river listens' & 'the shadows frown', all to eavesdrop on a local preacher's hiveside confession. Before we discover what he whispered, or why it 'made her blood freeze', a ghostly outro of piano, trombones & synth pads sweeps both Holly & the listener away — 'down to paradise'.

LYRICS:

Holly took a train from the edge of town, out where the river listens and the shadows frown. She'd heard about the telling of the bees: a country tradition older than memory. Keepers sneak out from their sons and wives, once every quiet evening of their quiet lives, and speak their secrets to the humming hives; to buy safe passage down to paradise. You don't wanna go to heaven all alone; that prairie in the fog; God knows who you might meet. You don't wanna go without a chaperone: the queen and all her drones guiding your feet. Keep telling the bees. Telling the bees. Holly took a light from the slaughterhouse, crept through some darkened gardens to the chapel grounds, and heard the preacher whisper to his bees: a gentle confession that made her blood freeze. You don't wanna go to heaven all alone; that prairie in the fog; God knows who you might meet. You don't wanna go without a chaperone: the queen and all her drones guiding your feet. Keep telling the bees. Telling the bees. Keep telling the bees. Tell those bees. Telling the bees. Sha la la la la la, down to paradise. Sha la la la la la, down to paradise.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN - LYRICS

It’s getting late love, I have to go
I hate to leave your precious soul
But while I’m gone you’ll be in my thoughts
Until we meet again

I feel so vacant when we part
The miles between us seem so far
So kiss me hard and make it last
Until we meet again

In a corner of my mind
There’s a pocket with your name inside
And no one else can reach that high
So baby I’m yours and you’re all mine

Sweet contentment under sheets
I’ll remember nights like these
While I’m away and counting down the days
Until we meet again

(Instrumental)

I’ve thought of things for us to do
When we get a moment or two
But for now I’ve written you this tune
Until we meet again
Until we meet again

Until We Meet Again
