Listening Post: Batch 584

Ahead of the release of his new EP ‘Limitations’, Cyrano shares the introspective title track - a raw, self-reflective anthem for anyone grappling with identity, burnout, and the quiet struggle to keep moving forward. With his signature honesty and cinematic production, ‘Limitations’ captures the tension between self-awareness and self-doubt, unfolding through late-night chats on an open road. Written between time zones and emotional states, it’s Cyrano at his most vulnerable, yet most resilient. Cyrano returns next month for a special EP launch show, raising funds for War Child and those displaced from their homes due to conflict.

Limitations lyrics:

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

It’s typical me to leave a moment
In the sight of everyone
As I try to overcome
My typical need to be heroic
As I’m lent my time by sleep
Is this the life I want to keep?

And I'm not hard defined

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

In the sight of everyone
I was tired and overrun
But like the whole of my head now
I’m not hard defined

And I'm not hard defined
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

Anchored by driving drums and ethereal vocals, 'SHADOWWORK' is an invitation to embrace your inner dark feminine energy. With its emotionally charged lyrics and heavy dramatic sound influenced by Chelsea Wolfe, Nick Cave, and Kate Bush, the single showcases Catherine Elms as a bold and introspective artist in the Welsh alternative music scene.

'SHADOWWORK' is the final track from Catherine's sophomore album, 'Bring In The Wild' (August 2025). The album draws inspiration from Jungian psychology and shadow work, inviting the listener to confront and embrace our inner shadows that we usually push away, so that we can fully accept and love ourselves.

solitude

when the world stopped moving (voice memo)

lyrics:

it's been 30 days since i last saw you
30 days since we had nothing to fear
it's been too long now
i'm scared that i'm forgetting how you feel
30 days is way too real

it's been 4 weeks since i last saw you
4 weeks since we made plans to go north
it's been too long now
i'm scared that i'm forgetting you
i feel all out of sorts
4 weeks and i'm not yours

i've been reading books
i've started puzzles
i've been listening to all the greats
i've been trying new foods
i've been buying new shoes
but i can't seem to forget that it's been 30 days

it's been a month since i last saw you
no matter how you say it, it still means the same
it's been too long now
i think that i've forgotten how long it takes
for me to fall, i'm afraid
this time it wasn't long at all
and why it wasn't, i can't say
in fact it just took
30 days
