'Picture of You' revolves around creating an idealised image of somebody based on interactions through a phone screen rather than meeting them in person. The idea of a meet cute is ancient history thanks to various dating apps that have become available.

This song acts as a poignant commentary on how digital platforms have transformed the landscape of romance. While they offer new opportunities for connection, they also challenge us to consider the value of authenticity and genuine human interaction in building meaningful relationships.

LYRICS
The sky lays on the water
follows the shape
of my body drenched in the heat of the summer
against the fabric
weaved by patient hands
like magic carrying the scent of your...

Skin on their fingertips
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins

Space has heard our calling
the clouded veil
is now parting revealing a speckled marble
among the star births
down by the old birch
down where the sun tastes our summer kissed...

Skin on her flaming lips
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins

Oh I want to stay here
keep the colours near
safe where
you're in the air

You know you got my skin
here within your reach
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins

now I can feel your skin
just like in the dream
life is seeping in
through transparent sheets
something new begins
something new begins

Skin

ocd is the 5th studio album by Tamar Berk 

I think this might be my best track - best song, best performance. 
It's about coming home to safety, but in the song I'm actually visualising getting to a campsite with my friends and making pizza...but that cosy picture becomes more of a spiritual homecoming. 
I wrote it around an Indian Raga- the music came from playing an Indian Raga badly but it turned into something else.

Where We Belong

Precious

Didn't Know About Andy

with "DEEP CUT", we wanted to capture the generational experience of love in the aftermath of heartbreak. 

it’s about how quickly we move on 
[ or pretend to ] without ever really processing what broke us in the first place.

the song embodies our emotional vulnerability: how we only open up during the late hours, when substances or distractions make everything feel easier. 
but it’s never a real solution, is it?

and it’s only then that we realize the weight of the past still lingers. we carry unhealed scars into something new and without even noticing, we pass them on to each other in a vicious circle.

and in the end, the person we hurt the most might just be ourselves.

DEEP CUT

Already Taken is about trying to process living without somebody after they’ve chosen to leave you, and the everyday reminders they leave behind. Written with friends Sam Perry and Tom Hammond, and released via Mahogany Songs. 

Already Taken

This track Cornerstone is a track of longing for that person that holds your world together. 

Last night when you turned and walked away,
Felt like someone jumping up and down upon my grave,
I just didn’t know what to say 
When the only word i needed then was stay 

While you were sleeping I made a pact
Let me tell you darling I need you back 

I’ll take you anywhere you want to go 
fight through the wind and snow 
Please pick up the telephone and let me tell you
that your my cornerstone 

I see your shadow in the morning light,
Every step I take now on feels wrong and never right.
I’m tracing every step we made
And I’d give the world to hold you once again

While you were sleeping I made a pact
Let me tell you darling I need you back 

I’ll take you anywhere you want to go 
fight through the wind and snow 
Please pick up the telephone and let me tell you
that your my cornerstone
