about

My new track ‘Camellia Sinensis’, written, recorded and produced by myself. I advise listening all the way through as the song crescendos into the final chorus. I made this song using just two instruments; my acoustic guitar and my 80s synth which has a lot of different instrumental sounds. I also used a looped beat track. It shares similar themes that are found throughout my discography. For my last couple of tracks, I experimented with a single vocal track and although I want to keep doing that as I know some of you think it sounds better, I though this track suited vocal layering. Please let me know what you think of the track and feel free to check out the music video I made for it too. It features animated footage from polish cartoonist Witold Giersz. Thank you so much!

lyrics

The moonlight is a silver snake
Slithering across the dark waves
Lord knows it’s the only light that I crave, these days
I once lived in the city
Holy north, that’s where I met him
Sweet and hot like blood orange and whisky, whisky

Camelia sinensis
To brighten my senses
I can’t shake the darkness
My misery is endless

Memory, memory

Carmichael lived up in
His grey high-rise heaven
Pint to pint was how he lived in those days, oh my man
Now he’s just some old flame
Never really could be tamed
He didn’t have a penny to his name, what a shame

Camelia sinensis
To brighten his senses
He couldn’t shake the darkness
His misery was endless

Memory, memory, memory, memory

Camelia sinensis
To brighten our senses
We can’t shake the darkness
Our misery is endless
Memory, memory, memory, memory
Memory, memory, memory, memory

Rosa Lavenne Wales, UK

Clutching at the coattails of gothic folk, Rosa Lavenne delivers a dreamy sound with melancholic lyricism. Heavy on reverbed synths, as well as the folk traditions of fingerstyle guitar and melodic harmonies, mean that Rosa stands at the crossroads between tradition and modernism. ... more
