She's Not Me

Rehearsals for Departure

Ohio

People always say everything’s okay
But obviously that won’t make you feel that way
They tell you everything is fine when you’ve made a mistake
Hoping it will fool you as truth

It’s not until I worded the phrase a little differently that I understood the true meaning

That all is okay, all ways are just fine
Every outcome even if bad
Either way at least we feel
Something

All is okay
All is just fine

What can you do in the inevitable?
Take it in
Lather it up, absorb it all
And let it subside
Your world view is so narrow
It makes me wanna commit suicide

Stop covering up lies
(at once)
With small talk thinking you can get away with it
Just tell me what you actually feel

Face it raw-raw; uncensored to move
Don’t even blink once or you fall down
Face it raw-raw; uncensored to move on

Is connection even real?
Or is it just transactional
I think people are only satisfied
When I’m depressed
I’m so passed it all

I’m so happy
At least now I know
The difference between real and lies
It’s gonna hurt right now but-

(All is okay)
- You can’t distract yourself anymore like this
It’s time to wake up
(Stop playing mobile cash pool games)
Open those eyes for me
Enough shut eye it’s time to do something
Even if you get thrown down a ditch

I know you’re in so much pain
You can’t let that dictate your whole life tho
And I know, I know you can be better
Then the pain that gets to you
They always say everything’s okay
(When it’s not) (and vice versa)
Even though you screwed the fuck up
I’ll still say instead that
All is okay

All is okay

Nadia Reid - Listen To Formation, Look For The Signs comes out Nov. 27 on Scissor Tail (U.S.) and Spunk (New Zealand).

Pitchfork -
Love is sold on the promise that it's better than any solitary satisfaction, so you might as well bet everything on it, time and time again. On "Call the Days", New Zealand songwriter Nadia Reid cuts to the heart of this deception: "I was happy on my own," she sings in a plainspoken lilt. "I would call the days as they were known." Yet there's no trace of vengeance in her deep, capable voice, and the surface of her gorgeous song remains steady, as a raga-like drone anchors rolling acoustic guitar and languid cello. Instead, like Laura Marling or Joan Shelley, the self-assurance Reid had once cultivated acts as its own safe harbor, turning the event into a meditation rather than a rupture. For a new artist, her confident grace is all the more remarkable.

NPR - 
Love is knowing what's best for yourself. We grasp at straws trying understand what that is, but even in that knowledge, we betray our best intentions to get stupid about another person. On "Call the Days," New Zealand folk artist Nadia Reid sings, "I was happy on my own / I would call the days as they were known" with a knowing yip, against a droning backdrop of closely mic'd acoustic guitars and longing cello. It's a heartbroken song, but made self-assured by Reid's warm, marbled alto.

Phoebe Mackenzie and Emily Berryman direct this beautifully shot video for "Call the Days," as the characters Nadia and Ross travel through New Zealand roads, forests and countrysides. Its muted palette is in keeping with the song's calm, yet gray skies; they betray the days ahead.
