LYRICS:

You like to chase birds - fly high
Dumb boys like to chase you
We got matching tattoos - you I me you
Wish you didn't have to get the news

My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl (you I me you) my girl (you I me you) my girl (you I me you) my girl (you I me you)

You're the kind of woman I wanna be
I'm the kind of woman that you need
Bright burning sparks tear the atmosphere apart

You live Lou Reed and Laurie's three rules:
Take no bullshit and stay tender too
And never ever be afraid of anyone

My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl, my girl (you I me you) my girl (you I me you) my girl (you I me you) my girl (you I me you)

You're the kind of woman I wanna be
I'm the kind of woman that you need
Bright burning sparks tear the atmosphere apart
Tear the fairytales apart, tear the way things are apart
Tear the atmosphere apart, tear the way things are apart

My Grrrl

Julia Why?

Pocket

A homage to David Bowie who became a transcendental source of strength for Julia as she battled and danced with her own demons. 

Lyrics:

I just hallucinated, saw David Bowie in my bath
At least I know I’m going crazy
But I felt magic I never knew I had

Now I feel like I’m getting closer
To something that will comfort but kill
So they give me Lithium
To stop me from falling underneath

Chorus:

Mr Starman, put me back together again 
Mr Startman, put me back together again
I fall together everytime I see you
I got lucky your stars they cut me deep

Verse:

Go ahead put it all in boxes
Pick me up, prescribe and divide
But two halves don’t feel like whole now
The joker will always be part of my deck of cards

So you made up my mind, to piece it back together
I did what I had to, doctors are so unkind

Chorus:
I fall together everytime I see you
I got lucky your stars they cut me deep
Please don’t leave now I’m getting closer
To something unreal that finally feels free

Mr Starman, put me back together again, Mr Startman, put me back together again

Hysteria 

Holden On

Released 16 February 2021 

Waiting For Time is a romantic introduction to Julia Why?'s new collection of stargaze songs, written across London, Paris and Athens at the dawn of COVID19. 

It's her first release since 2019's album 'Hysteria' and is one of many results from an artist residency and 8 months abroad. With life plans cut short by COVID-19, Julia finished this series of tracks in Sydney working closely with a producer for the first time - Ben Moore of Harvest Recordings (whose work can be heard on the records of Moaning Lisa, Le Pie, Leonardo's Bride, among others.)

Written by Julia Wylie, recorded, mixed and co-produced with Ben Moore, featuring Kat Ayala(guitar) and Sarah Fenn-Lavington (drums). Artwork by Amaya Lang.
