Skin You're In

Honda Civic - Work Tape

I’ll steady the boat, 
Whilst you gather your thoughts,
Finding the strength to steer your heart,
Away from the rocks.

But what if I can’t see a way,
through the swell?
And I know that I will,
It’s just harder to tell…

Don’t you cry yourself to sleep,
He’ll be there,
In the strength you’ll need.
I know it’s hard,
But once we raise the sail,
You’ll see,
It’s still his name in the breeze.

And I’ll be your eyes,
’Til you see past the tears.
Won’t leave your side,
Without finding the words,
That we both need to hear.

But where can I turn,
When there’s no-one to call?
And we’re nearing the shore,
But we’re taking on water.

Don’t you fall down to your knees,
He’ll be there,
As you find your feet.
I know it’s hard,
But once we raise the sail,
You’ll see,
It’s still his name in the breeze.

In The Breeze

Lyrics

You had me
In your palm
I'd do anything 
But now I'm done 

What happened to us
Broke in two 
You turned away
As problems grew 

All my life
I've served you
Now I'm out of time 

All of my life
I've toed the line
I'm overworked 
You think I'm fine 

What happened to him
Understaffed 
A noisy boy 
In a poisoned class

In Your Palm

Psychedelic pop with luscious 80’s synth melodies sat on a seascape of vibrant reverbating guitars, the bass fizzes and the harmonies pop.

LYRICS:
Tongue tied, Can't hide
Won't make it out alive
That bite, it's alright
Some say you wont survive

Let loose, no excuse
Didn't think I'd ever lose
But then it hits me that I'm out of time

I should have let you slip away
Into the night
Instead I let you wear away
On my peace of mind

You want my help but just cause you can't help yourself
You had it all your not like anybody else
I know that soon we'll all be out of time

Work late, unpaid
Allow me to lead the way
Our fate, it's too late
Signed sealed delivered mate

Let loose, no excuse
Didn't think I'd ever lose
But then it hits me that I'm out of time

I should have let you slip away
Into the night
Instead I let you wear away
On my peace of mind

You want my help but just cause you can't help yourself
You had it all your not like anybody else
I know that soon we'll all be out of time

Now I can't help but fixate
On that needless twist of fate
That sends me running right on
Back home to you
Feet striking on the floor
Fists pounding at the door
Peer through the cracks
I know that I'm out of time

Out Of Time

'Closure' released 26th March 2020 on Fortress Sounds via AWAL.

Written by Natalie McCool & Kenzo Zurzolo
Performed by Natalie McCool
Recorded & produced by Kenzo Zurzolo at Paname, Paris, France.
Additional mix & production by Future Humans at Studio 13, London, UK
Mastered by Chris Daniels at Organised Rhyme, Brighton, UK 

"Bouncy, off kilter synths paired with driving drums & guitars to create a record that's playful yet very powerful."

Speaking on the new track, Natalie shared: 

“Have you ever wanted to get over someone so much that you figuratively bury them? 'Closure' is the journey you take to finally slamming the door on that person. It's a high energy middle finger to your once beloved.  What I imagine people doing when they listen to this song is bouncing around singing the chorus at the top of their lungs - I wanted to create something that is anthemic but also full of humour.  Because sometimes, crying and laughing are not so different from one another. 

When you are suffering from loss & grief from a bond that's been broken, the emotions you feel are very complex and numerous, the facets of a break up are many - like a rainbow.  This idea interests me because rainbows are always seen as positive, and I believe going through that range of feeling is also positive because it's a necessary process FOR closure.  

So I brought this rainbow idea, which is also a big image in the song's chorus, to all of the creative ideas for the single campaign too – the idea of reflection, refraction and spectrum – what is necessary to achieve closure.”

Making her first steps into music when she won a national song writing competition judged by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Natalie McCool has excelled. 

Releasing her album ‘The Great Unknown’ in 2016, it has made tastemakers across the board fans of her exceptional art, with notable supports with Aurora & Jamie Lawson, & acclaim from The Sunday Times, Q, Pigeons & Planes & Wonderland as well as BBC Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens & Alice Levine.

Fully wrapped up, her forthcoming album is a fine collection of songs which channel her raw, inimitable writing style. Partly co-written with The Wombats' Daniel Haggis, they capture and crystallize her memories from both childhood and adulthood, weaving deeply intimate stories that channel life's most vital thoughts and feelings like love, jealousy and loss into a skewed mixture of lilting yet gloriously catchy pop songs.

Lyrics
I'm giving up your ghost, gonna let you go
Gonna break the chain, give myself a break
Time to say goodbye, bury you alive	
I've got 6 feet going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade oh I'm only human

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

I, I got some way to go, I know it's a joke
Tryna break these chains, I've give myself away
Lucky you're not here to lay it all on me dear			
Cos I've been 6 months going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade let's call it delusion

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

All that I want is closure, closure, closure
All that I want is closure, closure, closure

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure
And all the shit that's meant to go away seems like it's here to stay
All that I want is closure, closure

Closure

Latin was my first love, and music is my second. I've utterly fallen for those of the soulful, creative, inspiring and inciting kind. The one composed with heart and soul, the one performed with passion and aplomb. Searching for a way to express my love for and enthusiasm about music, I've found twitter is a decent and effective place to do so, yet given my wordy nature 140 characters one day simply didn't suffice to promote the music I enjoy anymore. This is how my music blog - carpe carmina - came into being (a heartfelt thank-you goes out to my favourite UK band High/Low for the encouragement to start writing about music, to my all time favourite band for so many years by now, Midnight Hour, for making me realize my affection for music and my wish to help those artists in whose talent I believe in, and to all those people who read my blog, who recommend and submit music for it). Find me under @NessiHolt on twitter and make sure to listen to @RadioKC to catch a playlist of mine each tuesday at 10pm (UK). Listen to Radio Kaos Caribou, Dr. Bones music show and Dave Monk's BBC Introducing Merseyside in general. It's worth it, it's where I - among others - find the music I eventually embossom.
