Track #2 on the debut EP "Things I Wish I Knew" by Brie Nicole. “Things I Wish I Knew” is an EP written to be reflective and nostalgic on things that I wished I’d have known before hitting adulthood and going off to college. The three song EP expresses feelings of relationships and friendships changing, college burn out and the passion felt for your major being slowly taken from you. This EP helped me to fall back in love with my instrument and my major. Make Believe was a song that was written to reflect on past relationships and how it was like to be kids playing dress up and believing in make believe. While writing this I had the distinct image of a medieval castle similar to that of the cover art depicting the Medici family castle in Sienna, Italy. We build up our castles and our towers just to tear them all down and start again.

Lyrics: 

Verse 1
One day
We built a palace 
A castle made of sand 
Washed away by malice 
The walls could not withstand 
That wasn’t the plan 

Pre-Chorus 
Princess in her tower
Waiting for her flowers 
Knight in shining armor 
Should’ve tried harder (x2)

Chorus 
Kids back then 
Playing pretend
That was then
Right before the end 
We’re kids back then 
Playing pretend 
That was then 
Right before you 
Made me believe 
In make believe 
You made me believe n Make believe  (x2)
Made me believe 

Verse 2 
One day 
We stacked some bottles 
A tower made of glass 
Were we built to last 
We could not take it back 
Were we meant to collapse?

Bridge 
Oh — you built us up but 
Oh — you tore us down 
Oh —- We never had a chance 
We never had a chance 
We never had a chance cause we’re (chorus)

Make Believe

Track #3 on the debut EP "Things I Wish I Knew" by Brie Nicole. “Things I Wish I Knew” is an EP written to be reflective and nostalgic on things that I wished I’d have known before hitting adulthood and going off to college. The three song EP expresses feelings of relationships and friendships changing, college burn out, and the passion felt for your major being slowly taken from you. This EP helped me to fall back in love with my instrument and my major. Till You're Blue was written on a bus ride back from a trip with the school band. I was feeling burnt out and almost like I was running on empty. I'd enjoyed the trip but I missed my home and it kind of felt like I had hit this major road block after going for ages non-stop. Till You're Blue expresses my feelings of burn out and doing something I love so much to the point I felt that I was running out of air, running till I turned blue. I put myself back together again, over and over, till the burn out finally passed and I felt inspired again.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
They say all time heals
but oh that wasn't our deal
I grew up to the feeling
of growing pains

Pre-Chorus
Being at the right place
Always at the wrong time
All the things we could have done
But now we're coming undone

Chorus
A bottle of glue
We're good as brand new
I'll put on a smile
and run a mile too
Just run till you're blue
Just run till you're blue (x2)

Verse 2
I'm missing who I was
But loving who I am
I stuck those broken
Pieces together again

Bridge
You've broken your promises
And strung together missed cues
Inspite of misuse
I'll be missing you (x2)

Till You're Blue

Track #1 on the debut EP "Things I Wish I Knew" by Brie Nicole. “Things I Wish I Knew” is an EP written to be reflective and nostalgic on things that I wished I’d have known before hitting adulthood and going off to college. The three song EP expresses feelings of relationships and friendships changing, college burn out, and the passion felt for your major being slowly taken from you. This EP helped me to fall back in love with my instrument and my major. The lyrics for For You was written in 2020 when the world was falling apart around me. It was written for a friend whom at the time was really struggling and I wanted them to know that they weren't alone; that someone was always out there fighting for them; that the truth and being real was always more powerful than the lies they were telling. In the chaos of the world, it was the way to find our ground and that even in darkness you can find light. The lyrics were revised and re-written into the song that you are hearing now. It was our story then and it will always be a part of who I am now.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
I always found it strange
How two nobodies
Could meet on such a lonely night
I was stuck inside my head
Didn’t matter what they said
Said I wouldn’t make it out

Pre-Chorus
One lone night
Below a million stars
Just didn’t believe
I’d still fight for you

Chorus
Keep showing something real
In a sea of faking lies
I’ll always find the truth
In you
In you
For you
For you
For you

Verse 2
I knew something changed
In a few darkened days
I seemed to figure it out
I’ve never felt so free
Our promises stay real to me
No turning back this time

Bridge
Sweet self deprecation
Bitter self medication
Can’t love someone else
If you’ve never loved yourself
Can’t love someone else
If you’ve never loved yourself
