Lyrics:
It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be
Our open palms staying closed today
And in my mind, I really thought you would see
But honestly, I think we need to leave

Or maybe we should watch this movie
Look it reminded me of me and you
I know you’re thinking I’m really trying to get up in your head

And in my mind I keep replaying parts
Like when he held her close, right in the park
They had a rocky road, but Dennis kept it real from the start

Oh you know
I never meant to throw it all your way
I made a judgement based on signs, I think
I’m really losing my mind
Oh you know
I still remember the look on your face
And baby when you go your separate way
I think I’ll be just fine

Oh
Cause I’m found (I’m found...)
I’m found (I’m found...)
Lost for a minute
Tell me what compares to this
I was lost for a minute
I was lost for a minute

You know I’ll think about you time to time.
I feel I’m moving fast, not in my mind
Just call me stupid, and I’ll open my eyes
I think it’s kinda funny how I feel
So happy I could die, I’ll keep it real
Oh, I can’t help but be a little unsure

Oh you know
I never meant to throw it all your way
I made a judgement based on signs, but hey
I’m really losing my mind
Oh you know
I still remember the look on your face
And baby when you go your separate way
I think I’ll be just fine

Oh...
Yeah!
Lost for a minute
Tell me what compares to this
I was lost for a minute
I was lost for a minute
Lost for a minute
Tell me what compares to this
I was lost for a minute
I was lost for a minute

Oh you know
I think this train is really rolling on
We better hop on cause it won’t be long
Girl you don’t know
how much I just want to leave it all behind

Just like a kid on Christmas Eve
I packed my clothes, please can we leave?
Oh this place, oh I swear it drives me crazy
and I’ve been saying it

Oh you know
I think I’m finally moving on my way
I made a judgement based on signs, but hey
I’m kinda losing my mind
Oh you know
I still remember the look on your face
and baby when you go your separate way
I think I’ll be just fine

I think I’m finally moving on my way
I made a judgement based on signs, but hey
I’m kinda losing my mind
I still remember the look on your face
and baby when you go your separate way
I think I’ll be just fine

Lyrics:
My open hands become closed again
I’m calling you, oh for an answer
My goodbye messages sent to a phone

Oh nothing matters to me anyways
Trying to ignore it all and see today
Oh fuck, I can’t tell if I can hold on

Someway, Somehow
Someway, Somehow
Someway, Somehow
Someway...

The silk that would just coat my world view
It’s a melting down, oh baby I can’t tell you
Oh how I feel, how I feel, how I feel

To just awake me from this bad dream
I’ll give myself away to maybe fix this scene
Toll was due but why did they choose you?

This feeling, I’m feeling
Why can’t I accept it?
My tears they, won’t let me
Bury you, leave you in today
For Ema

The end of the road
I spent a long time parading
The wrong time, to say it
To you

And you’ve been my friend
Holding your face so dearly
I closed my eyes, walking right in the street

Nothing matters to me
I’m ready to go
I’ve swallowed all of my pills
To finally get the feeling of being all alone
I’m fading away, when you find me
Know that finally I am at peace
Nothing matters to me

To me
Oh, nothing matters at all
Nothing, nothing
Nothing matters to me

Graceland

why can't I be healthier and younger, but also wiser like I am now
I need a time machine that takes me back to adolescence, so I can stay in bygone times, but just for a while

I might wanna stay for a lifetime
and then go back again
like always I'm just reminiscing
as if the past is all I got
the memories are all I have
to feel alive, to feel the dance of time
I am too tired to create new moves
it seems in the past I had existence with soul

was it really me though or did I come into my own
through all the pain, through pain alone
was it really me though or did I come into my own
through all the pain, through pain alone

I'm able to drive now, 10 years after everyone else
but back then I wasn't ready to just be myself
I was working towards it without knowing
I cried myself to sleep, at least some things won't ever change.

Was it really me though or did I come into my own,
through all the pain, through pain alone
I danced at every party and by party I mean live shows
I danced all for my own
Harmony echoing throughout the whole room
I used to feel at home in the middle of a crowd
now I just feel old

i used to come home bruised, pogoed til the next day, 
then smoking my last cigarette, 2 nights later the same
I came to feel the thunder still trembled in bed

and now I bruise myself by losing my own mind
and then waking up half blind
maybe I should go see a doctor, but cannot trust em
maybe in my next life, if there's a next time, onto the next one
I'm sure I will survive this one until I die

For Crying Out Loud

Gracias Very Much

Multi genre multi instrumentalist Chad Rubin produces and writes a track after meeting the love of his life as his world starts to make sense. A touring musician and signed recording artist, chad has finally begun to find meaning and make sense of this crazy ride we're all on through his work and his relationships which seem to make everything else seem a bit less.. urgent.  
a 3rd party review: A love song with rare depth and an exceptionally unique arrangement, ‘Urgency’ is a romantic indie-pop gem.  It was written immediately after the artist met his future wife - a moment when everything else felt insignificant in comparison.  Over an ethereal, guitar based arrangement, he delivers a warm performance, reminiscent of Ben Gibbard or Jason Mraz. The intricate vocal melody is as intricate as any classical composition.

Urgency

“Sophie Li is poised to become a force to be reckoned with in the UK music scene and beyond.”

Inspired by indie legends Catfish and the Bottlemen and beabadoobee, she released her debut single 'For Crying out Loud' in December 2022, a song which “fuses both a stripped-back and fiery sound, as well as a message of escaping a toxic partner”. Combined with vocals drenched in emotion, “arena-style guitars and driving drums”, this single contains an energy that is truly irresistible.

After taking a break from selling out venues in Liverpool, she returns in 2025 as a redefined independent solo artist with a fresh catalogue of music known for its “deeply pleasant nostalgic charm” and “raw and evocative” lyrics, including new single, “Magnets”, a track that perfectly captures the excitement of temptation, immersing you in an intoxicating love affair.
