I created this song when I was really struggling with people only recognizing me as a vocalist, even though I've produced for so many other popular Artists around the world. This song really helped me to realize my own power and talents and actually was the catalyst for wanting to self release my own solo songs even though the Industry was not going to show me any support. Life is too short to wait around for help or a green light from someone else, so go ahead and live the life you've always dreamed of!


I hope you enjoy this song, it really pumps me up and gets me motivated to achieve my goals. I also wanted to experiment a bit and include a 90s dance vibe along with my signature 80s retrowave synth heavy signature.


Thank you so much for listening and for all your support! I hope this song gives you the energy to achieve all your dreams no matter what 

Lyrics: 

Save Me

Why do I believe in your lies when I know the truth about you?
Yes I do
I drank your poison like wine
Gave your words a home in my mind
Addicted to the pain
Cause its the perfect thing to blame
Hey yeah

Not anymore
I gotta kick the habit
Stop hurting myself
Stop thinkin' that I'm damaged
Rip out the pages and write my own story
Full of love, hope, and glory

I'll be my own Heroine
And save me from myself
I'll be my own Heroine
No one can help me if I don't help myself
I'll be my own Heroine
Save me from myself
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oooh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Save me

You clipped my wings so that I couldn't fly
But I could still sing
Just for you
That's what I do
My voice grows stronger each day in my cage
But I made the mistake of praying someone sets me free
When that someone should be me
Hey yeah

Not anymore
I gotta kick the habit
Stop hurting myself
Stop thinkin' that I'm damaged
Rip out the pages and write my own story
Full of love, hope, and glory

I'll be my own Heroine
And save me from myself
I'll be my own Heroine
No one can help me if I don't help myself
I'll be my own Heroine
Save me from myself
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oooh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Save me

M83 is a massive inspiration for me, and I've always loved the poem in "Graveyard Girl" and when it came time to make the bridge for "Mood Ring" I wanted to capture that same feeling. A lot of my music is inspired by the 80s, and for this one I wanted to create a song that maybe John Hughes would use if he made a movie about a sleepy seaside town that comes alive in the summer with tourists, boardwalk games, the kind where you can win a  mood ring and ride the ferris wheel while looking at the ocean as the sun sets while reluctantly realizing you're falling in love.

I hope you enjoy this one! xo

Lyrics:


Did you ever meet somebody
And you could tell right from the start
That they're the missing pieces in the puzzle of a heart
Did you ever meet somebody
And you could tell right from their touch
That you never really knew that you could need someone so much

The whole world melts away
Time stands still
Perfect holiday
On the boardwalk
Watching the waves
Fade away
Fade away

I hate everybody
Except for you
You're the only one who turns my mood ring

Bright Blue
Bright Blue
Bright Blue
Just like you
Just like you

Did you ever meet somebody
Who made you feel brand new
Like together you're invincible and there's nothing you can't do
Did you ever meet somebody
Who's hug felt like a home
And you always want them there
Even when you wanna be alone

The whole world melts away
Time stands still
Perfect holiday
On the boardwalk
Watching the waves
Fade away
Fade away

I hate everybody
Except for you
You're the only one who turns my mood ring

Bright Blue (never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin')
Bright Blue (never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin')
Bright Blue (never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin')
Just like you
Just like you

On top of the Ferris Wheel I can see forever and a day
A slow magic twinkles in the sky
I wonder, will we always feel this way?
Your eyes sparkle glowing in the carnival lights

I hate everybody
Except for you
You're the only one who turns my mood ring

Bright Blue
Bright Blue
Bright Blue
Just like you
Just like you
Bright Blue (never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin')
Bright Blue (never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin')
Bright Blue (never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin')
Just like you
Just like you

Never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin'
Never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin'
Never knew it could shine so blue, think I'm fallin' fallin'

Anna Yvette - Mood Ring

You said that you liked me because I was different
So different from the rest
You try to define me
Control and deny me
And treat me cruel in front of your friends
You said you would help me
Because I was  different
But all I'd need to do is change
Don't try to confine me
'Cause you'll never find me
I'm like tears in the rain

Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I'll keep running, running
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
To something, something
Good, good, good, good, good
Tears in the rain
Taste so good

Tears in the rain

You said that you liked me because I was special
Collectors Edition one of a kind
You try to refine me
Take your cut and then sign me up for a lifetime in a cage
You said you believed me
That money would free me
And all I'd need to do is change
Don't try to confine me
'Cause you'll never find me
I'm like tears in the rain

Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I'll keep running, running
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
To something, something
Good, tears, good, tears, good, tears
Tears in the rain
Taste so good
Tears, good, tears, good, tears
In the rain

I'm like tears in the rain
You said that you liked me because I was different
I'll keep running, running
You said that you liked me because I was special
I'll keep running, running
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I'll keep running, running
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
To something, something
Good, tears, good, tears, good, tears
Tears in the rain
Taste so good
Tears, good, tears, good, tears
In the rain

Anna Yvette - Tears In The Rain

I've always tried to push myself outside the typical topics that perform well according to the Industry (love songs, break up songs, etc.) and I wanted to touch upon the topic of Cognitive Dissonance. It's difficult to see you're in an unhealthy situation when you've been gas lit the entire time. Even though everyone else can see it for what it is, you have to realize it for yourself to make necessary changes. I wanted the production for the track to convey a sense of driving urgency to match the lyrics. To me it feels like after a long journey in the dark, you finally see a light at the end of the tunnel and now you have to run towards it as fast as you can before everything collapses around you trapping you forever in the rubble.  The structure of this song is a bit different but I also wanted to experiment by adding a bit of electro to my signature synthwave and retrowave vibes. And of course, who doesn't want TWO guitar solos :)

I hope you enjoy this song and it brings you inspiration to leave toxic situations that no longer serve you!

Telling lies with every breath
I can't survive on empty promises
I know, I know, you're no good for me
You're no good for me
Bleed me dry until there's nothing left
You say it's all my fault
I should've given less
I know, I know, you'll be the death of me
If I don't leave

There's a dissonance
Ringing through my mind
Every time you say that I need ya
There's a dissonance
That I can't make align
Every time you say that I need ya

Play your game
Try to follow your rules
But then you move the goal posts
And take me for a fool
I know, I know, you're no good for me
You're no good for me
You gas me up then you light a match
You tell me, only you can save me
But it comes with a catch
I know, I know, you'll be the death of me
If I don't leave

There's a dissonance
Ringing through my mind
Every time you say that I need ya
There's a dissonance
That I can't make align
Every time you say that I need ya

There's a dissonance
There's a dissonance
There's a dissonance
There's a dissonance
