A different time, a different place
The lines you’ve carved across my face
A different song, a different heart
A thousand ways to fall apart

Break me again
As I count down from ten
Break me again
You still can
Break me again
As I lose my faith 
For good
Like I should

Your glass is full I double checked
So here’s to losing my respect
A thousand ways to close the gate
Just break my heart and call it fate

Lyrics

I've got people at my door
Crawling up under the floor
Scratching nails inside my head
Guess today I'm wearing red

Useful hands and shiny eyes
Tell me where your beauty lies
Give me what I've never had
Won't you wear a little red

Red red red
Put your hands behind my head

I've got eyes behind my walls
Baby let's see which one falls
For the taste of early sin
If I show a little skin

Chasing heaven as it screams
Always closer than it seems
Tell me what you've never had
Won't you wear a little red

Red red red
Put your hands behind my had

Lyrics:

There is blood
There is blood on what we share
You knew the cross
And still you left it mine to bear

And so I hold
So I hold the wolf in silence
Like I left 
Like I left its blue eyes nameless
Like I shead my skin
When I bite your chin
When I hold your hand in silence

There is blood
There is blood on what we share
There is blood
But the wolf he doesn't care

So my hand
Didn't have a story
Never asked
For your charity



The Wolf

There’s a storm coming, storm coming
In my dreams each night
I can feel its might
And I wait for it, wait for it
Stranded by the seaside
Barefoot in the moonlight

Barefoot in this empty city
That I built for you
With its empty streets
That keep you safe and true
All the people hiding 
From the crashing waves
They don’t get it baby
They don’t get it

Stand in the rain with me 
Oh, slow ritual
Oh, slow ritual
Drown in an endless sea of
Dark visceral low
Slow ritual

When the sky’s falling down on us
In this no-man’s land
Will you hold my hand
If I lead will you follow me
Stranded by the seaside
Barefoot in the moonlight

Barefoot in this empty city
That I built for you
With its empty streets
That keep you safe and true
All the people hiding 
From the crashing waves
They don’t get it baby
They don’t get it

Stand in the rain with me 
Oh, slow ritual
Oh, slow ritual
Drown in an endless sea of
Dark visceral low
Slow ritual

Endlessly mad and free 
Oh, slow ritual 
Oh, slow ritual
Stand in the rain with me 
Oh, slow ritual
Oh, slow ritual

ALBATROSS
Written, performed & produced by ALLA

Feet on the ground but I'm blind
I'm growing old and unkind

If I could write another story tonight
I'd say I 
I feel like losing my mind

Follow me, let's get lost at sea
Be my albatross
Be my sweet sweet cross
Hold me down, let this madness be
Be my albatross
Be my sweet sweet cross

Feet on the road  but I'm lost
I choose control but at what cost
I feel like I could lose my mind

Follow me, let's get lost at sea
Be my albatross
Be my sweet sweet cross
Hold me down, let this madness be
Be my albatross
Be my sweet sweet cross

Cross
Cross to bear

Bright Eyes

Bucharest based classically trained musician ALLA started studying music at 6 years old as a pianist and guitarist and started writing, composing and producing her own music at 13 years old.

The daughter of a famous 70s/80s singer in highly oppressive communist Romania, ALLA grew up surrounded by music and believing in it as the universal language of mending whatever is broken.

Now a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, theatre and film composer and music producer, ALLA has already toured all over Europe with various music projects and played some of the biggest stages in the country in both the pop/electronic as well as the classical music world, from Untold Festival to The National Romanian Opera. 

Her debut single "The Shining" was well received by indie music blogs, garnering such praise as “Think PJ Harvey, a dirtier Ladyhawke, Portishead as performed by Primal Scream or Josh Homme's little sister and you're getting close to this tune but the rippling layers of melody scythed through by that buzz-saw guitar are a thing of forbidden beauty.” (Listen with Monger)

The Romanian songstress has also collaborated with established local producers Platonic Scale and  Alin Dimitriu.

From bubbly alt-pop to dark electronica, from layered acoustic folk to classical contemporary compositions, ALLA’s music remains at its core a journey of self discovery through one’s craft. 
Flawed, vulnerable and honest.
