Gitta de Ridder - 'Lie With Me' 
Second single of upcoming Debut album expected Sept/Oct 2016 

In art we expose ourselves. In music we bare our souls and speak out about the things close to us, the things we feel, the lives we live. We bare that what lies and sometimes hides inside. We dress it up, we dress us up, in dresses and trousers and jumpers and fashions to say; look this is me and how I want you to perceive me. We mould ourselves into a shape and form. 

In simplicity, honesty, naked in song, in word, in sound we bare all. 
To speak our truth. 
For those who want to hear it. 
x Gitta

lyrics
Lie With Me 

Like a child in the dark 
I stay up late 
Like a radio-wave 
A sirens parade 

Lie with me, lie with me tonight 
Lie with me, till all is bright 

Like I'm one of the stars 
Simon said 
I fly from Venus to Mars 
All from my bed 

Oh come here and lie with me, lie with me tonight 
Lie with me, lie with me till all is bright 

Like a falling leaf 
We search for ground 
The silence smothering me 
I need you around 

So come here and lie with me, lie with me tonight 
Lie with me, lie with me till all is bright

Lie With Me

Dutch-English singer and songwriter Gitta de Ridder draws the listener into a world full of atmosphere and feeling. Feelings of joy, sadness and wonder. Stories, thoughts, dreams, hopes, and all that lies between wrapped up in a blanket of indie folk acoustic guitar sounds and beautiful melodies.
She grew up in The Netherlands leaving the family home to go study music at age 18. A journey that took her from the Netherlands to Germany, to Italy, Greece, Ireland and the UK, settling in London in 2008 where she has lived ever since. Her first single 'Mr Yesterday' released in September 2014 gathered attention from BBC introducing, Amazing Radio and several Dutch Radio stations and with her self-produced debut EP 'Come Find Me' released in January 2015 and received with shining reviews she is starting to be a name to remember.

"Her remarkable voice is given the space and attention it deserves. She really is a wonderful singer." - Alex Gallacher 'Folk Radio UK' on the 'Come Find Me' EP

"Gitta De Ridder's talent lies in creating moody, atmospheric melodies that could be dark, candlelit spaces but then lighting them up with her voice which is full of hope and quiet determination." - Roland Monger 'Listen With Monger'
