Who Needs Your Love

"She buys the lie and she sells the feign/ She takes the hits and invests the pain/ She tells herself that he's gonna change/ She doubles down..."

Demos (22-25)

Double Down

The olive tree is a symbol of nationality and connection to the land by Palestinians because of the tree’s slow growth and longevity. Although there is much to be celebrated in life, there is also much to feel sorrow for. I feel so sad each day seeing the horrific images and videos online of what is going on in Gaza - innocent civilians are being killed each day by airstrikes. Over 30,000 people including c. 13,000 children and many animals have so far been killed and that toll is mounting every single day. The levels of destruction are indescribable, not seen in my lifetime. I am heartbroken and I wish for an immediate end to the injustice, violence and suffering for all innocent civilians, and ever lasting peace. This piece is dedicated to all innocent lives lost and all innocent lives who are suffering. The viola leads the melody of this piece as I find that it sounds very elegiac.

Fading shadows

Fading Shadows

Black Domino & Scarlett - Fading Shadows [Audio Snippet][OUT NOW]

"Beach" is a dreamy indie folk ballad that evokes the warmth of summer days by the sea and the feeling of being at home with someone you love. With its gentle combination of vocals, guitar, standup bass, and piano, the song paints a serene picture of connection and tranquility. Performed live at the Punch and Judy Theatre, "Beach" brings a quiet intimacy, with its slow tempo allowing each note and lyric to linger like a soft breeze. Fans of artists like Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, and The Lumineers will resonate with its nostalgic, reflective mood, akin to tracks like Iron & Wine's "Naked as We Came" or Fleet Foxes' "Montezuma". The song's understated instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make it a beautiful ode to love, memory, and the sea.

When I think of summer days
By the side of the sea
You holding my hand
And letting the waves wash away the sand
I've never been to heaven
Yet I am certain of the spot

Dive deep with me,
Together we are
Bound by the clear blue
Together as one

When I'm with you I'm home
When I see you I'm home
In so many dreams have I found you
As if the map were always there
The footprints in the sand always
Lead me back to you

Dive deep with me,
Together we are
Bound by the clear blue
Together as one

"Beach" Written and Performed by Northern Sky

Beach - Live at Punch and Judy Theatre

Instagram: @shirleylymusic

Shirley Ly is a self-taught British female contemporary classical music composer from Greenwich in London, United Kingdom, with Chinese and Vietnamese heritage. She has composed over 50 pieces for solo piano / violin / cello, duets, trios, quartets and quintets. She has produced an EP: Benevolence (2025), and 5 albums: Winds of the East (2025), 9 Lives (2023), Paradise (2023), Blossom (2021), and Impetus (2018) and released multiple singles i.e. Olive Tree (2024), Emerald (2023), and London Strive (2023). Her music has been played around a million times across more than 100 countries around the world spanning six continents, including by BBC radio. Shirley plays the piano in all of her pieces.
​
The pieces in her albums aim to capture her reflections on life experiences relating to nature (i.e., swallows' journeys to their nests, the seasons, swans), living in London, dance, relationships with family and other loved ones, travel (i.e. to Berlin, Amsterdam), and dreams. 

Winds of the East (2025) is inspired by Shirley’s Chinese and Vietnamese heritage, her grandfather who was a distinguished painter and poet in China and her recent travels in South East Asia particularly in areas of natural beauty. 

Paradise (2023) is inspired by her experiences of swimming, diving, sailing, and surfing in the ocean, and she hopes that her music can further emphasise its importance. 
 
9 Lives (2023) is inspired by the beauty, charm and mysteriousness of cats. She lives in London with her five cats, and gain a lot of inspiration from them. This album aims to raise money for animal charities in areas which need support the most.
