This song is about wanting to grow and change as a person but finding it hard to do so. It's the longing for the past but the importance of making the most out of opportunities right now. Make every leaf a fruitful tree.

LYRICS

Autumn leaves
They fall to the ground
So many to catch
But they’ve all fallen down
Tried to turn them over
But they’re all brown
Plucked out and dried all up
Nothing that’s sound

I don’t know where’s forward
When I’m a few steps back
And I
Know that I’m close to winter
But I wish it was
Autumn, still
Autumn, still

This cold weather
Packed in with heat
Swinging decisions like the wind on a fleet
And like my mind
It shifts and weighs
As soon as I’ve opened up
I’ve closed the gates

I don’t know where’s forward
When I’m a few steps back
And I
Know that I’m close to winter
But I wish it was
Autumn, still
Autumn, still

Time will tell
But you never know when
It’s all a blizzard now
But the leaves will turn green again

Madelaine De Leon -  Autumn Still

since God Help the Girl is almost coming out ~ I wanted to put out one of my old covers. Mind that droning sound in the background ~ it's to emphasise its 'lofi'ness jokes I have just bad lighting now :/

Stars Fell on Alabama (cover)

Hi guys! It's been a long time. Here's a really rough cover of 'Two Way Street' by Kimbra. I'm obsessed with her at the moment! She's super talented and beyond inspiration. Hope you like it, or at least appreciate my version. Thanks :)

Two Way Street (Kimbra Cover)

Since I have posted anything in a while, I thought I should share this little ditty I wrote yesterday. It's not the best (lo-fi as per usual) because I'm lazy and Autumn hasn't finished yet (so I'll try to make a better version before the season ends). Hope you like(ish) it! (: 

Lyrics:

All the leaves, 
They fall to the ground, 
So many to catch, 
But they’ve all fallen down, 

Tried to turn over,
But they’re all brown. 
Plucked out and dried all up, 
Nothing that’s sound.

And I don’t know where’s forward, 
When I’m a few steps back. 
And I know that I’m close to winter, 
But I wish it was autumn still.

This cold weather, 
Packed in with heat, 
Swinging decisions, 
Like the wind on a fleet. 

Like my mind, 
It shifts like weights, 
As soon as I’ve opened up, 
I’ve closed the gates. 

And I don’t know where’s forward, 
When I’m a few steps back. 
And I know that I’m close to winter, 
But I wish it was autumn still.
