Lyrics:
You know the way to thaw my heart
A mind reader from the start

I always imagined my life with you in it
Took my chances from the first minute

When we met, I still have no regrets, but you need to 

Love me like you’re gonna lose me
Pray like you’ve always believed
Kiss me like your life depends on it and maybe then I won’t leave

Although the tide might change, maybe it’ll stop the rain 
But tell me if the water is too deep, 
Love me like you’re gonna lose me or you’ll lose me. 

If one day you could turn back time
Would you make me love you again under pale yellow sunrises but I, 

I’m starting to think that I can’t be forgiven 
For second-guessing the strength of our haven, 
When we met, you told me no regrets, so don’t risk it

Love me like you’re gonna lose me
Pray like you’ve always believed
Kiss me like your life depends on it and maybe then I won’t leave

Although the tide might change, maybe it’ll stop the rain 
But tell me if the water is too deep, 
Love me like you’re gonna lose me or you’ll lose me. 

How did it come to this?
Forever’s a long time
How could I let myself be with you if it weren’t right?

I always imagined my life with you in it
Took my chances from the first minute.

Love me like you’re gonna lose me
Pray like you’ve always believed
Kiss me like your life depends on it and maybe then I won’t leave

Although the tide might change, maybe it’ll stop the rain 
But tell me if the water is too deep, 
Love me like you’re gonna lose me or you’ll lose me.

ABOUT:
I went to watch Saaaz’s set at an Illegal Data night in winter last year and turned up earlier, coincidentally catching TEEN’s set before. I’d never seen anyone play with rhythm, pitch and silence the way he can and found it totally captivating. I was so excited when he agreed to work with me and we’ve written more together since this track. We got to know each other throughout 2020 so it’s a real pleasure to share this with him. 
My favourite part of this song is the vocal processing because it was so much fun automating reverb tails and playing with formants. The instrumental is so delicate which goes perfectly with how I felt when I wrote it: delicate, fragile and scared for the future of a relationship. 
This song sat on my hard drive for months as one verse and chorus with an arpeggiator synth and nothing else, so it’s so cool to see how it’s grew and developed into what it is now.

LYRICS:
Your eyes are shining, it’s a heavenly glow. It seems you’re one of us now, don’t you know?
Let them be jealous, envy is a sin. 
My wings shield you from the shade they’re throwing in. 

This is perfection on the highest level,
Only God can criticise. 
Bow down and watch me shine my halo, 
It’s time to realise, the queen has arrived,
So call your spirit guides cos’ angels, angels never die. 

I’m no messiah, no I’m no saint, 
But take my hand, come, let’s fly away. 
You wanna be immortal, or go to the afterlife?
But one lifetime’s enough if you do it right. 

This is perfection on the highest level,
Only God can criticise. 
Bow down and watch me shine my halo, 
It’s time to realise, the new queen has arrived,
So call your spirit guides cos’ angels, angels never die. 

The inner light, it calls us home, 
With me, you’ll never be alone. 
I’m the answer to all your prayers, no need to look for fun elsewhere. 
I’ll touch your soul, together we rise across the globe. 
Over sea, mountains, our spirit has flown. 
Look inside you, home was there all along. 

This is perfection on the highest level,
Only God can criticise. 
Bow down and watch me shine my halo, 
It’s time to realise, the new queen has arrived,
So call your spirit guides cos’ angels, angels never die.

ABOUT: 
I wrote this song when I was feeling the lowest I’d felt in a long time. I opened my lyric book and let my pen lead and these lines fell out like it was what a higher guidance needed me to hear and know. The only lyrics that aren’t from that original twenty minutes of scrawling is the middle eight, which I found inspiration from in Rebecca Campbell’s ‘Rise Sister Rise’. Campbell is a modern-day High Priestess and her book is an extended invitation for women to rise and step into their authentic selves. Although I knew the message this section should convey, I struggled to find the words. I picked keywords from a page in her book and the section came instantly. 
I produced this song the day after I was made redundant due to Coronavirus. I’ve never had a production experience like it as it came together so quickly and naturally. Similarly to the lyrical content, it was like the melody and chords were what my soul needed to hear too. 
This song was so fun to produce. I wanted to create a feeling of unity and calling an army so started with the snare roll sample and built the beat from there. Orchestral music has been hugely important to my musical journey so far and my only goal with my EP was to make something completely authentic to me, without caring about the popularity of particular sounds. I knew I wanted this track to sound cinematic and dramatic and those feelings are emanated by brass. When composing classically, I usually begin with cello, as the most versatile string instrument, or the french horn, which is my favourite orchestral instrument. Combining these orchestral sounds with samples that would fall under the umbrella of PC Music made it sound really original. One of my favourite sections is the second half of the middle eight where the choir comes in. This section in the Logic project is called ‘A7X Chord Changes’ because the chord progression was inspired by ‘The Wicked End’ which features on the ‘City of Evil’ album. This album was hugely influential to me growing up and Avenged Sevenfold will probably always be one of my favourite bands. I’m excited to get to a point where I can record real orchestral instruments, although Spitfire’s BBC Symphony Orchestra VST did a great job. 
Whenever I listen to this song, I feel inspired, lifted and ready to rise. I hope it does the same for other people.
