My Body Was My Own

My new track ‘Poison Waterfalls’. A dreamy folk track that I made myself with my acoustic guitar, an 80s keyboard and a drum track from online. If you have been following my releases lately, you may have noticed that my productions have been a lot softer. This hasn’t been a conscious decision; I have just noticed it recently and I think it’s interesting how creativity evolves over time. I think I am just a bit more confident in my melody writing and don’t feel the need to hide it under more intricate production. This song is particularly soft in its soundscape (aside from the drums in the final chorus). I wanted a nostalgic feel and theme with the track which I hopefully achieved. I also made a video for the track featuring vintage home footage which definitely adds to the themes so give that a watch too! It’s on my YouTube channel (Rosa Lavenne). Let me know what you think!

Lyrics:
Oh when I get home
He will make sure I’m not alone
Cuts me to the bone
Sits me down on my (Bombay) Sapphire throne

Poison waterfalls
Poison waterfalls
Oh my weary soul (lives under)
Poison waterfalls

He is dry and bitter
But he is also sweet; his hues aglitter
You know I’m a heavy hitter
But he brings me right down; he’s a great listerner 

Poison waterfalls
Poison waterfalls
Oh my weary soul (lives under)
Poison waterfalls

He shines the light of memory
Upon all my childhood dreams
He shines the light of memory
Upon all my childhood dreams, dreams

Violet, lavender
Lemon, orange and juniper
Frankinscence and myrrh
Oh my love, my sweetest jenever

Poison waterfalls
Poison waterfalls
Oh my weary soul (lives under)
Poison waterfalls

He shines the light of memory
Upon all my childhood dreams
He shines the light of memory
Upon all my childhood dreams

He shines the light of memory
Upon all my childhood dreams
He shines the light of memory
Upon all my childhood dreams, dreams

Oh when I get home
He will make sure I’m not alone
Cuts me to the bone
Sits me down on my (Bombay) Sapphire throne
I’m gonna go

Master - "Sleep Is My Only Relief" Written by Karen Braysher & Peter Zasuly

사랑은 늘 도망가_MIX 2023-07-02 1031.mp3

Words travel fast through games of telephone
Mixed messages and crossin' signals and never rest
So I headed out West

I walked past the place where we used to go
And I felt the ghost of that haunt leave my soul
Now I'm light as air

Oh can't catch me now
Now I'm goin' with the Redwoods growin' so
High, high, high, high, high

Oh can't remember it now
All the ways I drowned
With the Pacific tide I rise, I rise
Rise with the sun

I looked back on last time
boxes packed but I left them all behind
And I breath goodbye

A step away is a step toward
The freedom I've been searching for all my life
Just open road and sky

Oh can't catch me now
Now I'm goin' with the Redwoods growin' so
High, high, high, high, high

Oh can't remember it now
All the ways I drowned
With the Pacific tide I rise, I rise
Rise with the sun

I'm takin' the long way
I'm takin' the scenic route
I'm takin' every change
I'm takin' my girls to dance
I'm givin' this my all
I'm giving way to the trust fall
I am new again

Oh can't catch me now
Now I'm goin' with the Redwoods growin' so
High, high, high, high, high

Oh can't remember it now
All the ways I drowned
With the Pacific tide I rise, I rise
Rise with the sun
