He finds me counting quarters at the table,
Says, “I’m off to the lake,
I’ll be back when I’m able.”
He moves like liquid out of the kitchen.
I find myself thinkin,
I’m not going to disappoint you.
Be the one you wanna be.
See how you want to be seen.
Feel the love of who you’re with,
Even if you’re all you need.
Who’ll be witness to my story?
So ordinary,
It could be anybody.
My tender layer is wearing so thin.
Is it brittle below?
Or tender again?
Be the one you wanna be.
See how you want to be seen .
Feel the love of who you’re with,
Even if you’re all you need.
Be the one you wanna be.
See how you want to be seen.
Feel the love of who you’re with,
Be the one you wanna be.
When the house is torn down,
When the land fills up with weeds,
Will you still remember
Everything you thought you’d be?
When the day is over
And the memory’s what you grieve,
Be the one you wanna.
Be the one you wanna.
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
A brave experimental record from the Cecilia Lopez & Ingrid Laubrock running darting sax lines through dense electronics & processing. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2023
You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason my brain decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it.
I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!!
(also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays
