After taking a fair few years off due to a health condition that surfaced after my first pregnancy, i'm really excited to be making music again. I'm still leaning in to the folk infused story telling I grew up on with my parents on the stage performing throughout my life, but feel i've found a way to lean into my own now. This song can be heard as a traditional "I can't love you anymore" themed love song, however for me was in some ways about moving past an older version of myself and into a newer one. I tried to look at is as "there's only me without you", that past version that no longer brings you what you need and is tied in to a hundred old bad habits.

Melody Coles - Me Without You

ECHO (snippet)

As I was working on this remix I figured I'd stick close to the original while adding some sounds and elements to make it my own brooding kind of style.

This remix was created for a competition hosted by SKIO: https://skiomusic.com/r/kN5. If you like this track, please consider supporting it there! Judging will occur at the end of June.

Original track: I Like Me Better by Lauv

Lauv - I Like Me Better (Fourth Culture Remix)

for the women in my life, thanks for your wisdom and strength. 

mercury's in retrograde and i'm still in pain, i came off all the things that were making it darker in my brain
i need to peel back the layers, find whatever haunts these veins, this pain we shouldn't suppress, we need to investigate 
why even when i'm at home, there's a darkness in this soul 
why even with a full heart i just fall into a dark hole
drowning in how little i know

these planets, they've planned it 
i learnt that from the witches who began this
my ancestors were burnt in tar for their craft 
for love do we really have to sacrifice our craft?
these planets, they've planned it 

in fluxus with the full moon, i menstruate 
it reminds me we're all pawns in the cosmos game 
gender is not genital, that's a fact we can't escape
that's why i feel so sure when it's solitude that i crave
because it broke my soul sat waiting for him to come home
i'm a loose atom let me be free to roam
let me figure out all there is to know

my mother traced it out in the stars for me 
last night Jupiter so silently reminded me 
you can live vicariously through me 
i may have inherited your pain but it's what drives me

i know that i will never be alone 
when i've got these words to put the cement in the stone
to help me understand the little that i know

these planets, they've planned it
i learnt that from the witches who began this
my ancestors were burnt in tar for their craft
for love do we really have to sacrifice our art?
these planets, they've planned it

These Planets

Side stage, sleeping in guitar cases whilst her parents performed, Melody naturally landed here. She’s now embracing the tea drinking, story telling life of a folk songstress, on the start of her own little journey.
