Pt 1:
I walk down a brightly lit hallway-
I can see to it's end
I can't turn around and
against this I can't defend
If I can't change this
Then I wish I didn't know
Pt 2:
I don't want to shy away
I will return to that lighted lake
one day and I-
I don't want to go back home
I'll just wander 'round making footprints
in the snow and I
Promise to you
That I'll be there when you leave
and I'll be back by three
and I won't be back
and i wish I didn't know
Spring will too soon stain the trees
and I'll lose what made me "me"
as the leaves they die
and they fall back to the ground
Forming brightly colored mounds
and I'm back to where
I started from
and I'll be there until they leave
and I'll be back by three
and I'll promise this
and I wish i didn't know
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
