Lied van de week: week 6 - 2018

Slowly - Son Lux
 

Het nieuwe album van Son Lux, Brighter wounds, is net uit en ik beluister het zeker nog dit weekend en/of de komende week. Single Slowly laat alvast het beste verhopen: een gestileerd nummer dat een beetje doet denken aan Anthony And The Johnsons en dat muzikaal stokt waardoor de song een urgentie krijgt die erg past bij de vocalen.

Je kan het album Brighter wounds hier kopen.


Lyrics:


[verse 1]
please be careful what you say
i may die this way
be careful how your mouth pulled apart
i can see your lips, i don’t wanna feel your heart

[chorus]
slowly lie to me
like you do when you tell the truth
slowly lie to me
like i need you to do so i can hear you say
something that sounds right

[post-chorus 1]
slowly lie to me
like you do when you tell the truth

[verse 2]
please be careful what you say
’cause if i split in two you will be to blame
’cause i know nothing better and nothing worse
and how you twist your letters into words

[chorus]
slowly lie to me
like you do when you tell the truth
slowly lie to me
like i need you to do so i can hear you say
something that sounds right

[post-chorus 2]
slowly lie to me
like i need you to do when you tell the truth
and tell me what to believe, and tell me what to deny
and whisper into my ear till everything dark turns bright

[chorus]
slowly lie to me
like you do when you tell the truth
slowly lie to me
like i need you to do so i can hear you say
something that sounds right
