about

The track began as a sound experiment, I have been playing around with producing music for the past six months, however this is the first song I have completed. I began with the ambient synth which is heard in isolation at the beginning of the track / intro. I loved this sound so much the song just developed from there. This track is inspired by my anxious thoughts during a transitional stage in my life, made worse due to covid lockdowns. It emphasises uncertainty and fear through my ideal self.

lyrics

happy ever after doesn’t exist

ur way too pretty to believe this

hold me close

whisper sweet nothings

in my ear

child of mine

child of hers

rock back and forth

gently to earth

angel down

angel down

does she look you in the eyes

with that sweet smile

sparkle in the eyes

it’s been a little while

say goodnight

to me

once upon time a child died

cold alone

scared by the dark at night

the sun would rise

i’d be fine

primp pamper man up

quiet girls are full of luck

who am i?

if neither of them

does she look you in the eyes

with that sweet smile

sparkle in the eyes

it’s been a little while

say goodnight

to me

hold my breath

sing the alphabet

you can get through anything

just count to ten

hold my breath

sing the alphabet

you can get through anything

just count to ten

then start again

breathe in

does she look you in the eyes

with that sweet smile

sparkle in the eyes

it’s been a little while

say goodnight

to me
