This what makes soundcloud real different from other platforms, you'll spontaneously find hidden gems even those from 10-7 years ago, so do these old comments (makes me wonder where are these ppl now), and the times that have passed of not you discovering it yet --- that there are this side of the world, of life. Sorry for being so melodramatic, I just love this raw feelings.

Honestly one of the best Joanna Newsom cover ever created.

"When We Were New" is a tender acoustic ballad that traces the emotional journey of young love from its first spark to lifelong devotion. The male narrator recalls the initial glance that stirred his heart, the shy beginnings of conversation, and the magic of their first date. As the relationship deepens, he describes the intimacy of their first kiss and night together, culminating in a love that feels destined and enduring. In the bridge, the female voice responds with heartfelt vulnerability, expressing her deep affection and gratitude. The final chorus brings both voices together in harmony, celebrating the transformation from strangers to soulmates.

🎶 Lyrics – "When We Were New"
by Martin Oliver Beinersdorf c2025 a.r.r.

Verse 1  
I saw you once across the street  
A fleeting glance, a heart skipped beat  
You smiled like you knew the sun  
And I stood frozen, coming undone  

Verse 2  
We talked beneath the autumn skies  
Your laugh was soft, your words were wise  
A coffee shared, a nervous grin  
The kind of start where love begins  

Chorus  
And oh, how fast the seasons flew  
From strangers into something true  
From quiet walks to dancing slow  
To places only hearts can go  
I didn’t know what love could do  
'Til I was falling into you  

Verse 3  
That first date under city lights  
You held my hand, it felt so right  
A kiss that lingered on my skin  
The world fell out, and you fell in  

Verse 4  
The night we lost the need for words  
Just breath and touch and hearts unheard  
You traced your name across my chest  
And I knew then, I’d never rest  

Bridge – Female Voice  
I loved you from that very start  
You saw the corners of my heart  
You held me close when I was scared  
You stayed, you listened, you always cared  
I never dreamed I'd find this grace  
But now I see it in your face  

Final Chorus – Duet  
And oh, how fast the seasons flew  
From strangers into something true  
From quiet walks to dancing slow  
To places only hearts can go  
We didn’t know what love could do  
'Til it became our point of view  

Outro  
So here we are, not just passing through  
You’re not a moment — you’re my truth
