about

My new song ‘Copper Flames’. This track was written, recorded and produced entirely by myself using an acoustic guitar and an 80s synth (as well as pre-recorded drum track). It’s a slow and melancholic ballad (like most of my songs) with narrative lyrics. I am very much inspired by the dark and sad lyrics commonly found in traditional European folk and I think that translates here. I will leave the lyrical interpretation to you. I also made a music video to this that is available on my YouTube channel (see the links on my profile). Anyway, let me know what you think. I have been making music for a few years now and because it is just me involved with this project, I am constantly learning so feedback is welcome. Please enjoy!

lyrics

The sun painted strips of yellow
On her skin, dappled like petals
In golden rings, green-lit shadows
In the spring, a westerly wind blows

The years, they go on and on
The years, they go on and on
The years, they go on and on
The years

A handsome man with eyes like copper flames
From a foreign land, no one knew his name
Saw her stand under gilded shade
And took her hand right up to his face

The years, they go on and on
The years, they go on and on
The years, they go on and on
The years

Her open wound was an open letter
To those who knew, she’d never get better
Her open wound was an open letter
To those who knew, she’d never get better

Flecks of gold splashed the dark night
In stories told by the candle light
That she turned cold, a body of icy white
Alas behold, no trace of him by her side
The years, they go on and on
The years, they go on and on
The years, they go on and on
The years

Her open wound was an open letter
To those who knew, she’d never get better
Her open wound was an open letter
To those who knew, she’d never get better

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
