Don't Call It Love:

Let me see,
Remove the rose tint,
We need to leave this,
I'm not fond of falling
But I fell hard,
I thought I'd taken enough. 

The music, that comes from our lips
You hear it, you think its so sweet
I know this, but it doesn't mean we're soulmates babe

You bought me roses
On my birthday
You remembered the date
You called it
Oh please don't call it...
Love. 

The most overused worst I've ever heard,
The worst poem I've ever read,
The most hypocritical hypothesis I've ever seen. 

I'm not romantic,
I'll make you hate me,
I'm cold and I'm healing
You say I know this,
My love,
My love, 
My love. 

My love. 

Why do we, tell ourselves that,
There's nothing, to life but holding on. 
To each other's arms?

I'm writing your name on my skin
I'm bleeding all of the colours,
But you know I'll, I'll come home,
When you say 'my love'.
When you say 'my love'.
My love. 

You know that, you're my...
You know that, you're my...
You know that, you're my... love. 

Guess I'm scared to call it love,
Let's just wait,
Don't call it love yet babe,
Don't call it love.
Until you mean those words,
Don't call it love.

You know that, you're my...
You know that, you're my...

I thought I'd finally post something, so here it is. The first track from my 2nd solo EP, 'Shallow Palette'.

This track is called 'Don't Call It Love'  and it actually came from a live musical improvisation with my music tutor at the time, Ian Driver, when we were performing at a local arts festival in the recently re-opened Newsham Orphanage. We improvised lyrics and ideas that were re-crafted and later developed to become this song, an emotional ballad about our human unwillingness to accept love from others.

Strange to be finally releasing ‘Float’ for you all to listen to. Although it’s probably the most emotionally revealing song I’ve ever released, I’m at a place now where I feel ready to move on from my past and bear my soul to the world. Releasing a song which details my battle with mental health issues and coming to terms with all aspects of myself has been a long, drawn-out process, but I refuse to hide in the shadows. 

I hope ‘Float’ will resonate with all who’ve been through a similar journey. May you find peace and harmony. <3

‘Float’ is the third track released from ‘Shallow Palette’, coming from the acoustic half of the album (the electronic side is coming soon).
