Afro Red This album is hitting me deeper than the first times I listened, met someone wonderful last year and we both had a hand in how things fell apart but I’m the main one at fault. Your music has been therapeutic and agonizing, I appreciate your venerability and special way of expression; keep that shit up ❤️ Favorite track: Where Do I Go?.

Alex Firth This album doesn't keep up with modern day musical trends - it's nice to listen to something different!

It's AWESOME to hear someone with a great singing voice, who writes brilliant, catchy, tunes following their own musical path.

You can hear that there is 100% emotion in these songs, and that is something you definitely cannot fake. Favorite track: Pancakes For Dinner.

salmamuz This album makes me feel like I'm in another world sometimes, especially 'means something'. Her voice is so incredibly calming and soothing amongst the chaos of the world. Favorite track: Means Something.

Give me a minute Just one will do I’ll say goodbye, to gossamer skies The city will move out of frame But it’s still you who remains Give me a minute Kiss me again I’ll say goodbye, to cloudy blue skies I’d trade all I got in my name For you instead of this pain Maybe it’s time to forget you Maybe it’s time to throw dirt upon your name Or place blame But it’s no ones fault No, it’s no ones fault We’re just late I’ll give you a minute Let you have peace I’ll say farewell, to what I can’t tell I bet that you’ll do just the same And maybe I’m what remains

—NOTHING— I don’t wanna leave So tell me why I’m going I don’t wanna leave But I’m gone I don’t wanna leave But I’m already running And if you ask what’s wrong “Nothing” Oh I’m so sorry I’m a fool I’m so sorry For what I’m about to do Here’s your shirt I stole Take back what you gave me to hold I can wear my own coat when it’s cold I don’t need yours Cause I don’t think I can do this anymore I’m not sorry That I loved you til I couldn’t breathe It was lovely But I know that it’s not what I need It was good But it’s time for me to leave —SAD N STUFF— Something doesn’t feel right Maybe it’s the time Something doesn’t feel like it used to And nothing really rhymes Maybe it’s the changing of the seasons Or maybe it’s a sign Something doesn’t sit well Maybe it’s the food Something doesn’t fit, well I think I always knew That it could be the way I don’t speak Spanish Or it could be you He feels good to come home to But not to stay I’m afraid That he feels good to hold on to But it feels good to say That I’d be okay Without you, I’d feel the same I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone All at once And I don’t know, I don’t know How to get back what was Is it something in the wind or the rain that makes me Sad n stuff? Or is it just you? He feels good to come home to But not to stay

Does this make sense to you? Cause it doesn’t make sense to me Does this have weight for you? Cause it doesn’t have weight for me And I think my mind is far away Sort of strange, this is But I think I’ll call you anyway Call collect, cause baby this is An over the ocean call And I thought I could make it short But my brain’s all out of sorts I can’t hide it I’m staring at my wall And I thought that I wouldn’t cry But breaking your heart breaks mine I can’t hide it An over the ocean call Is how I told him This isn’t working anymore I needed space from you But this doesn’t look like space to me You hate the things I do And sometimes you hate me But I think my mind is far away Sort of strange, this is But I think I’ll call you anyway Call collect, cause baby this is An over the ocean call And I thought I could make it short But my brain’s all out of sorts I can’t hide it I’m staring at my wall And I thought that I wouldn’t cry But breaking your heart breaks mine I can’t hide it An over the ocean call Is how I told him This isn’t working anymore I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine I’ll call from over the ocean This time, this time, this time I’ll break your heart through the phone, I I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine I’ll call from over the ocean This time, this time, this time I’ll break your heart through the phone, I I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine I’ll call from over the ocean This time, this time, this time I’ll break your heart through the phone With an over the ocean call And I thought I could make it short But my brain’s all out of sorts I’m staring at my wall And I thought that I wouldn’t cry But breaking your heart breaks mine An over the ocean call Is how I told him This isn’t working anymore —ANDREW— Let me count all the freckles On your arms alone Let me smooth out the wrinkles In the nicest shirt you own Oh to love you is sweet like a peach I think your laugh is my cure Oh to love you is summer in reach Kiss me and tell me I’m yours Andrew I’m falling Without a warning Until the morning Don’t let me go Don’t let me go Just kiss me slow I love you, you know

I am good with directions I can find my way just by looking at stars I have not lost my senses I can find my way through a room in the dark But I don’t know How to figure out where to go From here I’m lost and confused Where do I go without you? Where do I go without you? I’m the breeze on a fall day I don’t stop to think, I don’t catch my breath I have memorized places and feelings I know them all like the back of my hand And I don’t know How to figure out where to go From here Now I’m alone on this island I drink so I don’t think of you Now I’m alone, I don’t know if This was the right thing to do Where do I go without you? I wanna tell you I miss you But that contradicts what I told you before I wanna tell you I love you But do I really know how I feel anymore? And I don’t know How to figure out where to go From here I’m lost and confused Where do I go without you? Where do I go without you?

Oh, I’m headed to the mountains I’ll be back in a week or two Don’t you try to reach me Cause I won’t pick up for you I’ve got some things I need to do Oh, I’m headed to the mountains Where to air is sweet and new Don’t you try to reach me Cause I don’t wanna talk to you I’ve got some thinking to do I’m trying to let go I think it could help Being alone And I’m trying Not to let you make me cry I’ve spilled too many tears and I think I deserve to be alone And don’t you try to reach me while I Pick myself up and go I’ve got to do this on my own I need to build myself a home Oh, I’m headed to the mountains The only place I feel at peace I knew you’d come after me So I threw away your keys But I know you never go when I say leave I’m headed to the mountains Don’t wait up for me
7.
I’ll go softly So you don’t hear a thing I won’t waste my time Saying things that I don’t mean Cause we’re too young And I don’t wanna fall just quite yet It was you, love But now I’m alone again
8.
I saw your name on a street sign In the middle of nowhere And that has to mean something I know your zodiac sign Me and Leo’s get along great And that has to mean something But for some reason You’re not here And I refuse to believe That means something I felt the way that you hugged me When I was broken inside And that has to mean something I felt the way that you kissed me When we got too drunk that night And that had to mean something But for some reason You’re not here And I refuse to believe That means something Every time I think too much It ends up crazy But I don’t know how to not think about you Every time I trust my gut I think I’m crazy Cause I don’t know how to put my trust in you Do you think it means something That I wrote another song about you

Same Boat 03:22
If I had the chance To see the northern lights I would book the next flight And I’d buy A jacket If I had the chance To see snow fall for the first time I would stop and rewind To re-find The magic But if there was ever a chance to tell you That I think about you every single day I don’t know if I could Take that chance Or take your hand And say You are on my mind When I miss the snow You show up when I hear that song or I Finally start watching that TV show I don’t know why every time That I think of home I can picture you standing in the cold But I I’m scared Cause I don’t know If you and I are in the same boat If I had the chance If you asked out of the blue How I really truly feel about you I don’t have a clue how that would go But if I had the chance Would I really tell you? Would I bare my soul and maybe end up crying in the bathroom? Or would I ask you to kiss me slow? Cause you are on my mind When I miss the snow You show up when I hear that song or I Finally start watching that TV show I don’t know why every time That I think of home I can picture you standing in the cold But I I’m scared Cause I don’t know If you and I are in the same boat

Don’t wanna be forward Don’t wanna cross a line But if I were to crash in this plane tonight I’d want you to know this Don’t wanna say too much Intrude on your space But if I were to crash and I never made it home I’d want you to know this Oh and to tell you is too scary So I’ll just say something else And I wish that you could hear me When I talk to myself But this plane might not land safely So what the hell do I have to lose? If I just tell you I wanna eat pancakes for dinner I wanna get stuck in your head I wanna watch a TV show together and when We’re under the weather we can watch it in bed I wanna go out on the weekends I wanna dress up just to get undressed I think that I should probably tell you this In case there is an accident And I never see you again So please save all your questions for the end And maybe I’ll be brave enough by then Don’t wanna say something wrong Don’t wanna be weird But if you’re still in love with her I think that I’ll leave it there And I won’t ever tell you this Oh cause to tell you is too scary So I’ll just say something else Like how was fall semester And what was that song about? I’ll try to hide the way I feel But I’ll just wanna shout What do I have to lose right now? I wanna eat pancakes for dinner I wanna get stuck in your head I wanna watch a TV show together and when We’re under the weather we can watch it in bed I wanna go out on the weekends I wanna dress up just to get undressed I think that I should probably tell you this In case there is an accident And I never see you again So please save all your questions for the end And maybe I’ll be brave enough by then Or maybe I won’t ever say what’s in my head No I won’t have to say anything You’ll say it instead
11.
I’m a little scared you’ll leave Even though you tell me you won’t I’m a little scared of being Someone that you’re scared to love But you don’t talk the way he did And you don’t say the things he did And I’m not who I was back then But still I’m a little scared to speak Cause I can’t find the words to say That I don’t wanna make this about me I just can’t hold it in today But you don’t play the games he did And you don’t make me feel like shit And my mom likes you more than him But still How do I tell you That I’ve come to like the pain? How do I tell you That I don’t know what it means? To be happy with somebody Don’t know anything bout that Who the hell can write a love song Without making it too sad That’s all I’ve been How do I tell you How do I tell you I got it from him? I’m a little prone to feel A little overwhelmed with it all Cause you are someone I want to know And I hope you don’t let me fall You make sure I get home safe And you always know what to say And I feel like I’ve found my place But still How do I tell you That I’ve come to like the pain? How do I tell you That I don’t know what it means? To be happy with somebody Don’t know anything bout that Who the hell can write a love song Without making it too sad That’s all I’ve been How do I tell you How do I tell you I got it from him? How do I tell you I got it from him?

Apple Pie 04:19
Some days I’m lonely And some days I’m not Some days I am only A little bit sad, not a lot How do you How do you make a home? What to do? Cause I never stay too long Every house looks the same in my dreams Every house feels like home for a couple weeks I’ve been runnin’ round trying to find a Place where I can breathe But me oh my I found you Under an April sky And you feel like City life Apple pie baked just right Home is wherever you are tonight Some days feel empty And some days feel whole Someday we can be in the same city Someday we’ll be grown and I’ll be Fine with packing up Cardboard boxes filled and sad farewells And I’ll be fine with that goodbye As long as I don’t say goodbye to you as well Cause every house looks the same in my dreams Every house feels like home for a couple weeks I’ve been runnin’ round trying to find a Place where I can breathe But me oh my I found you Under an April sky And you feel like City life Apple pie baked just right Home is wherever you are tonight Let’s rent a place Two rooms and a window facing Buildings and fire escapes Might be no AC A little bit cramped but see if I’m with you it’s okay Me oh my I found you Under an April sky And you feel like City life Apple pie baked just right Home is wherever you are tonight

Headstones and land mines Flowers and red wines They buy you nice things And they sing pretty songs But it doesn’t help Oak trees and dirt piles Funerals and mistrials They say pretty words And they hug from six feet But it doesn’t help And nothing works but time And it all hurts, but it’s fine Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Chaos and carpet A study in scarlet The room doesn’t talk And the furniture nods as I pass Heights marked in pencil Kitchen utensils The books don’t say sorry They don’t crowd and touch They’re just observers collecting their dust They know that nothing they say is enough So they don’t say a thing Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm
