Winter e.p (three songs)
The name of the e.p is Winter.
There are three songs: Can't Believe, Are you a friend of mine, and Rebirth
Worked on a project over the break. Unfortunately only got to completing three songs. Hearing them back I now realize how lonesome and sad all the songs are. It comes from a place where I'm ready for change. Sometimes there no other way to see or understand yourself than through the music you write.
I also find because I believe music influences people values and societal behavior/expectations, I filter my words and re-edit them until they are educational, politically correct according to my rules, "different" or "unheard of", etc. But sometimes as a result of trying to "make a difference" you lose your authentic voice and imperfect words, the stuff that makes a song sound real.
When you spend too much time on the words, I find that it becomes more like a piece of media or an anthem, not art(necessarily). This is my first ep where I completely didn't filter my words. And funny enough, I found out that the unfiltered me has some insecurities. People aren't always what they preach or try to preach, though that's not to say there's anything wrong with aiming to improve, ovi.
I spent only about 12 hours on this project so I don't completely know how I feel about it yet but hopefully I'll look back and take something away from it. I hope you do too. Have a good rest of your winter. And keep up with the good art if you're in to that kind of thing. And if you're not, try it. Thanks for reading.
can't believe
Can't believe you're gone
in my life I'm alone and tired
nobody should ever know this feeling
I came alone here
from now I'll keep everything to myself
everything that comes down it true
and you're not part of a plan
so please don't take everything
it's where I come from, it's where I come from
to your garden for thieves
know when you're alone
I'm gone
Are you a friend of mine?
frozen in the night
found me counting
in the flames of a pile of old tires wait,
hear the howl the winds are crashing
lay for awhile, unconnected
still staring at the my walls
wondering how they got tall
i find me on my own again
old lovers, aren't we
are you a friend of mine
uncover, believe me like the voices in your mind
thought back to my beginnings
called in to the blue
the winds they already knew who I was
who I knew
hard to unsee everywhere you were
but makes no sense to go fireproof
if you're made up of your fears
let them burn said the moon
take my hand, give you a tour
you're my girl, touch the world
old lovers, aren't we
are you a friend of mine
uncover, believe me like the voices in your mind
thought back to my beginnings
called in to the blue
the winds they already knew who I was
who I knew
rebirth
