Without You

Abe Parker

it is what it is (unplugged)

I was fine in the silence,
Till your voice lit up my sky.
Now I’m chasing every echo,
Like a song I can’t deny.
You cracked the code I buried deep,
Pulled me out from underneath.

I used to run from the light,
Now I’m burning in your truth.
Every scar feels like a spark,
‘Cos of you… yeah, ‘cos of you.

‘Cos of you, I breathe in color,
No more grayscale in my view.
You turned my edges into rhythm,
Gave my chaos something new.
I was lost in my own shadow,
Now I’m dancing through the blue—
‘Cos of you… yeah, ‘cos of you.

You don’t fix me, you just see me,
Even when I come undone.
You don’t preach, you just believe me,
Like the moon believes the sun.
You’re the verse I never wrote,
But somehow always knew.

I ain’t perfect, I ain’t clean,
But you love me in between.
Every breakdown, every bruise,
You made it art, ‘cos of you.

‘Cos of you, I breathe in color,
No more grayscale in my view.’
You turned my edges into rhythm,
Gave my chaos something new.
I was lost in my own shadow,
Now I’m dancing through the blue
‘Cos of you… yeah, ‘cos of you.

‘Cos of U

[Verse]
Bis zum Anfang
Bis zur Glut
Ich spür dein Herz
Es schlägt so gut
Durch alle Schatten
Durch das Licht
Du bist die Stimme
Die zu mir spricht

[Chorus]
Bis zum Ende
Bis zum Rand
Halt mich fest mit deiner Hand
Bis zum Himmel
Bis zum Fall
Du bist mein Alles
Mein Urknall

[Verse 2]
Bis zur Tiefe
Bis zur Zeit
Ich folg dir blind
Ich bin bereit
Kein Weg zu steil
Kein Sturm zu wild
Du bist mein Hafen
Mein Seelenbild

[Bridge]
Wie ein Echo
Das nie vergeht
Ein Feuer
Das im Innern steht
Du bist die Antwort
Bist mein Ziel
Ein Traum aus Sternen
Ein sanftes Spiel

[Chorus]
Bis zum Ende
Bis zum Rand
Halt mich fest mit deiner Hand
Bis zum Himmel
Bis zum Fall
Du bist mein Alles
Mein Urknall

[Outro]
Bis zum letzten Atemzug
Bis die Stille uns genug
Ich löse mich
Werd Eins mit dir
Grenzenlos
Jetzt und hier

Bis zum Ende

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.
