Shy

about

My new track ‘Shy’. This song was written, recorded and produced by myself using my acoustic guitar and an 80s synthesiser. It is one of my most minimally produced tracks (at least until the final chorus). I often tend to throw in any extra harmonies and elements that I can at my song but this one just kept rejecting them. Sometimes it’s nice just to let the melody speak for itself but it can be kind of scary from a production point of view as there is nowhere to hide. A good portion of this song is just me and my guitar which, despite classifying myself as a folk singer, is actually quite rare in my discography. I really hope it works and I hope you enjoy it. I also made a video for this featuring vintage clips of European cities on my YouTube channel, please go check it out!

lyrics

Wayward children
This is your sweet night
Silver fire
Bathes you in her light

I sew letters into the wind
Golden threads and pink ribbons

Careless lovers
Impious appetites
Surrender themselves
To the hot, ruby night

I sew sadness into the skies
Virgin white and cerulean cries

Oh Why
Am I so shy?
I wish to die
Most every night

Oh Why
Am I so shy?
I wish to die
Most every night

He was the prince of
Every girl’s bedroom
But his cold disregard
Just sent me to my tomb

So I sew holy tapestries
Of blood red silk and cherry strings

Oh Why
Am I so shy?
I wish to die
Most every night

Oh Why
Am I so shy?
I wish to die
Most every night

Oh Why
Am I so shy?
I wish to die
Most every night

Oh Why
Am I so shy?
I wish to die
Most every night
