Decided to write something a little more abstract.
((this is a super rough draft))

Sillohuette dressed in red
These days you've spent in bed
My tired, old friend
Won't you wake up again

Grasping at spiderwebs
Flying through the threads
Dreamcatcher eyes deceive me, you know it's not easy
To get out of bed

Never fear the reaper (hands will guide you)
Find the light inside you (where did it go?)
What's stopping you from living? (is it your ghost?)
Hear the rhythm of the ether

One day, I'll forget him slowly
The covenant that he took
The fettered souls ferried through Acheron
Turn your head back for a look

Indecision plagues me always
Peering down the hallway
I saw it pulse in the dark
Beneath the floorboards, hark
My home's beating heart

I Sing to Calm the Soul, but Stay Awake Anyways

Jess Cornelius, the New Zealand-born, Australian-raised, and now Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter, has an intense desire for personal authenticity, which is reflected in her songs as they explore womanhood, relationships, ageing and existence, all delivered through her startling voice. 

“No Difference” was written in Melbourne before moving to Los Angeles while trying to navigate everything going on in her life. The song is part self-help mantra, part blind fatalism. Its video, directed by Thomas Hyland, was filmed in a bathroom in Melbourne and features friends and acquaintances of Cornelius. 

“We wanted to introduce the water element because of its cleansing/rebirthing properties, but water is also destructive, and the image of someone wearing a white suit in a full bathtub implies someone slightly unhinged,” says Cornelius. “We wanted to expand on this idea of rebirth by showing all these women having miniature moments of self-reckoning, which is what I feel people often do in the bathroom. We use the bathroom—and the bathroom mirror—to collect ourselves, to recover, to psych ourselves up, to escape, to self destruct, to castigate ourselves, to tally up our worth, to make deals with ourselves, to re-evaluate, to preen and primp and steel ourselves.”

After releasing three critically acclaimed albums with her Melbourne-based band Teeth & Tongue, Cornelius sought out a more personal project. She began performing and recording under her own name, releasing the “Nothing Is Lost” EP (Dot Dash/Remote Control) in 2017. “No Difference” is the first new music Cornelius has released since then.
