Too Blue

Here we stand, head in hands
At a loss to understand
Those tiny hands around our neck
He hasn't even started yet

He is running out of time
And we will leave this shit behind

Love trumps hate, love trumps fear
Lovers smile from ear to ear
Let's throw arms around each other
Better that than duck and cover

He is running out of time
And we will leave this shit behind

And so it's come to this
You're throwing hissy fits
You won a game you're wishing you had lost
A day feels like a week
You're gonna feel the heat
You'll wish you'd never run this race at all 

The fact is that it's not a lie
You're in no way qualified
To run the world and raise the stakes
If you can't tie your own shoelace

HE'S RUNNING OUT OF TIME  (Rough mix)

An emotive tune featuring Molly Miranda King on vocals and Roberto Nappi on drums and Giles Barratt composer, guitars and arranger.

'I'll Lose My Head' is Chaouche's debut single, a cathartic hymn channelling creativity from darkness.

"The overarching theme of my songs is "healing". Collectively my songs contribute to a greater understanding of particular issues I found overbearing and traumatising as a child and young adult. Each song is dedicated to a memory or experience that has come from a negative source that’s ultimately been turned into a strength."

Chaouche lists Bjork, Sufjan Stevens and Rufus Wainwright amongst her influences and is also heavily inspired by film composers such as Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman. The piano features prominently in her music and is bolstered by deftly applied production of electronic and acoustic sounds and effects, her own massed harmonies, cello and violin.

Newly signed to Late Night Tales’ artist imprint Night Time Stories, Chaouche has further singles and live gigs planned this year and an album to follow in 2018.
