El Cameroon is a London based singer & songwriter from Scotland.

His introspective lyrics, acoustic guitar, and rugged voice combine to create spare but tuneful indie folk songs - regularly compared to many of his influences: Bright Eyes; Tallest Man on Earth, Neil Young and Bears Den. 

Growing up in the north of Scotland, his reverence for lyrics was instilled through a record collection left behind by his uncle. The Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones records led to other contemporary song writers such as Belle & Sebastian, Counting Crows and Damien Rice.

His first release, The Obsession EP was self-recorded following an extended trip through South America. The four tracks encompass many of those travelling emotions of love, loss and freedom.

Lyrics:

1. LITTLE OBSESSION:

Well I remember what your sister told me Christmas eve
Secret words that your mother said about catching me
And I wish that she never told me cause I can’t get you out of my mind
Long hair and the youngest child it conflicts with conclusions of mine 
But I know yes I know...

With the light in your eyes and the smile on your face
And the tears that you cry when your boyfriends away
The way that you laugh it’s the silence you hide
I’m miss-understanding just what you’re like... 

It’s always all or nothing for me normally nothing at all
Been asked some pretty awkward questions lately like is it a girl or a boy you’re looking for 
And I don’t know what I’m supposed to say or what I’m supposed to do
Guess I’ll wait for another week or so or a year or two for you...

With the light in your eyes…

Sometimes I dream of dying but it’s never alone
And I wish I could sing you a proper love song or pen you a pretty poem
If I could've done things a little different then I wouldn't have got involved 
I would've turned my back on your sister and never listened to her but I know...

Inside every bone in your body kindness falls
There’s a heart full of patience and forgiveness and so much more
Gotta get over this little obsession cause it’s hopeless and it’s wrong
I never meant to get this encompassed I never meant to fall for you

With the light in your eyes…

2. THE TRIGGER:

When the snow falls on the windows
When you’re back in your home town
When the wind blows on the emperor’s new clothes
Please don’t fall in line

Cause sometimes the butterfly flies away
And sometimes the soldier dies in vain

Next time that I’m going to pull the trigger
I’ll see your face in front of me
Next time that you’re looking into the river
Remember how good it is to breathe

I remember waiting for you
The conversations late at night
Your thoughts and dreams on everything
And the words you said to save my life 
The words you said to save my life

When the snow goes 
If you’re hit by low blows
Will you call on me?
When the wind dies 
If you’re feeling fragile
Remember when we were free

Sometimes the rainbow turns to blue
And sometimes we don’t get to choose

Next time that I’m going to pull the trigger
I’ll see your face in front of me
Next time that you’re looking into the river
Remember how good it is to breathe

I remember how you scared me
How you’re the opposite to me
With your thick skin and your opinions
How you were lonely but you were free
How you were lonely but you were free
