I Want to Die

i heard you died
what'd you do that for
don't you know that no one
overdoses anymore
i know it's hard
your parents love god
they found your pills
and now they won't talk to you

but you and me we found a way
to snort away the things that they say
and the last thing the world needs
is another liar

you said 
do you want die
well its my first time

your mother found you on the floor
makeup a mess, stockings all ripped and torn
you called me a pussy, when we were in your car
i thought the cops would come, your pants were on the floor

but you and me we found a way
to snort away the things that they say
and the last thing the world needs
is another liar

you said do you want to die
well i'm scared to try

i heard you died
what'd you do that for
don't you know that no one
ods anymore
i know it's hard
your parents love god
they found your pills
and now they won't talk to you

you've had some practice i've not had
ambient, coke and pills is too much for anyone to have
when you said hey baby lets od
i said no way thats just not for me
but ill take what you have
don't hold back
i want to walk in to hell with you
yes i want to die

i want to die on my very first try


I Want To Die

"Breathing the Sun" (Live version)
Lyrics and music: Thaís and Ana Merino

One day...you decide to leave the rain
Till then, keep me running to feel alive
One can say...it’s safer floating the waves
But I lay...on the words that are yet to be said

Breathing the sun
Clouds I don’t see
Here watching life making ways next to me
Living the day
Scars left unknown
Rolling the dice of the chances to come

And if the wind blows there
Layers of feelings that’ve never been shared
Step on the rocks, against the stream
Get in the game that is leading you here

Silence...no one seems to walk in this town 
Frightening...but a warm heart beating inside 
My friend...bring the sword, ‘cause I’ve got the lamp
And I must pray...I keep facing you smiling again

Though my body is broken
With the wrong words spoken
There’s a living sign of light

Written by Natalie McCool & Kenzo Zurzolo
Performed by Natalie McCool
Recorded & produced by Kenzo Zurzolo at Paname, Paris, France.
Additional mix & production by Future Humans at Studio 13, London, UK
Mastered by Chris Daniels at Organised Rhyme, Brighton, UK 

"Bouncy, off kilter synths paired with driving drums & guitars to create a record that's playful yet very powerful."

Speaking on the new track, Natalie shared: 

“Have you ever wanted to get over someone so much that you figuratively bury them? 'Closure' is the journey you take to finally slamming the door on that person. It's a high energy middle finger to your once beloved.  What I imagine people doing when they listen to this song is bouncing around singing the chorus at the top of their lungs - I wanted to create something that is anthemic but also full of humour.  Because sometimes, crying and laughing are not so different from one another. 

When you are suffering from loss & grief from a bond that's been broken, the emotions you feel are very complex and numerous, the facets of a break up are many - like a rainbow.  This idea interests me because rainbows are always seen as positive, and I believe going through that range of feeling is also positive because it's a necessary process FOR closure.  

So I brought this rainbow idea, which is also a big image in the song's chorus, to all of the creative ideas for the single campaign too – the idea of reflection, refraction and spectrum – what is necessary to achieve closure.”

Making her first steps into music when she won a national song writing competition judged by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, Natalie McCool has excelled. 

Releasing her album ‘The Great Unknown’ in 2016, it has made tastemakers across the board fans of her exceptional art, with notable supports with Aurora & Jamie Lawson, & acclaim from The Sunday Times, Q, Pigeons & Planes & Wonderland as well as BBC Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens & Alice Levine.

Fully wrapped up, her forthcoming album is a fine collection of songs which channel her raw, inimitable writing style. Partly co-written with The Wombats' Daniel Haggis, they capture and crystallize her memories from both childhood and adulthood, weaving deeply intimate stories that channel life's most vital thoughts and feelings like love, jealousy and loss into a skewed mixture of lilting yet gloriously catchy pop songs.

Lyrics
I'm giving up your ghost, gonna let you go
Gonna break the chain, give myself a break
Time to say goodbye, bury you alive	
I've got 6 feet going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade oh I'm only human

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

I, I got some way to go, I know it's a joke
Tryna break these chains, I've give myself away
Lucky you're not here to lay it all on me dear			
Cos I've been 6 months going spare...

...me the illusion
Let's call a spade a spade let's call it delusion

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure, closure
I put flowers on your grave, I wear a rainbow every day
All that I want is closure, closure

All that I want is closure, closure, closure
All that I want is closure, closure, closure

I try my best to make you go away I bury you every day
All that I want is closure
And all the shit that's meant to go away seems like it's here to stay
All that I want is closure, closure

Closure

I'm on my way

Pulse is the second single by Derby based band Mount Famine. Released on 17/07/20 it tells the story of a sweaty night in an illegal Latin speak-easy. A bloodbath of nasty Hawaiian shirts, cheap rum, even cheaper aftershave and a dance floor slick in desperation, ‘Pulse' is Northern storytelling at it’s yearning best that has been described "the sound of The Killers, New Order and Blossoms getting off with each other.."

Pulse

Produced by Jason Shaw

He'd lay in other gardens, before he came to hers
And though the birds sung louder
she always seemed to make it worse

She told him life was hard so
You might as well not try
Each time he left the garden
A little piece within him died

And so he'd visit her
And later wonder why
If all that's growing there
are spiteful thorny plants that I despise

Gardens

Ourselves Forgotten

небо это предел

While It Lasts

Weakness

Mount Famine are a duo from Derbyshire (UK) whose previous releases have achieved support from BBC Introducing (Track of the Week) and XS Manchester. The band are now on the return with a new sound and new music.
