Lyrics ♡

Push the knife 
Till the end
In my mind 
We wade through hell 

Call me pretty 
When you’re in my mouth 
Swear through teeth 
Don’t make a sound 

Hands around my neck 
Like barbwire 
My blue lips beg 
To light your fire 

I’m on the edge 
Screaming your name 
Your brain is dead 
Babe we’re the same

Swear through teeth

Mit ihrem zweiten Studioalbum Scars and Flames führt Tess Harper die emotionale Linie ihres Debüts Ashes and Echoes konsequent weiter – aber tiefer, dunkler, mutiger.

Während das Erstlingswerk die Nachklänge verlorener Liebe und innerer Zerrissenheit erforschte, brennt Scars and Flames heller und heißer: Es geht nicht mehr nur ums Erinnern, sondern ums Überleben, Annehmen und Neugebären im Feuer.

“Ashes were the past. Flames are what I became.” – Tess Harper

Jeder Song ist ein Kapitel über Verwundbarkeit, Sehnsucht und Stärke. Die Texte zeigen eine reifere, kompromisslosere Künstlerin, die keine Angst mehr hat, ihre Narben zu zeigen – und sie zum Leuchten bringt.

Der Sound:

Organisch, roh, ehrlich.

Vintage-Gitarren und analoge Amps treffen auf druckvolle Drums und eine Stimme, die zwischen Soul, Wut und Zärtlichkeit oszilliert.

Mehr Dynamik, mehr Edge, mehr Live-Feeling als im Debüt.

Musikalisch schlägt das Album eine Brücke zwischen 70s Bluesrock und modernen Alternative-Einflüssen – irgendwo zwischen Beth Hart, Larkin Poe und Chris Cornell.

Scars and Flames

Only Shadows Know


I kept you at a distance
Built walls to keep you out
The silence grew between us
Until no more warmth was found

I searched through my old memories
Of the happier times we spent
Found only faded versions
Of what our love once meant

Then I saw you with another
Walking down our old street
Laughing at some inside joke
That used to belong to me

La la la, oh oh oh 
La la la, oh oh oh 

I had to walk away 
To understand
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all
I had to fracture you
To build anew
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all

I saw you at the coffee shop
On some random Tuesday night
You looked older, softer somehow
But that was all alright

We talked about the weather first
Then slowly let it fall
The pretense and protection
We'd built up like a wall

You said you'd been thinking
About the way we ended things
How we were too young and stupid
To know what love can bring

La la la, oh oh oh 
La la la, oh oh oh 

I had to walk away 
To understand
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all
I had to fracture you
To build anew
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all

To start with you ...
Anew..
Had to break it all..
Had to break it all…
Anew
Had to break it all
Had to break it all….

Had To Break It All

we say “tomorrow’s gonna fix it all”

but we stand in the same damn storm

like our hearts are trying to rise

but our habits pull us down

tomorrow’s gonna fix it all
