Lyrics of RON – Fragile Bones

Sweet smell of rose sickening my nostrils wrinkle my face
With a tear I shake off the disappointment
I knew they’d fail to pledge their duty so take them away

Fragile bones and crippled thorns in your side upholster me
Weathered out the rain….ed me down and I’m wrung out to dry

I can’t shake this feeling
From off of the side of the road
As I look at the mound in front of me
You were never alive and neither was I

Shot through my heart, shot through my head
Who knew code blue would ring him in?
I mean, can I?
Can I?
I mean, can I?
Can I?

Runnin down the hall today
Slam my head on walls of gray
Runnin down the hall today
Look at the mistakes we made
Runnin down the hall today
Years of praying goes to waste
Runnin down the hall today
Runnin while life slips away

Summer Love – Chris Youmans

Categories: Audio, Pop, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Alt Pop, Chris Youmans, Commercial, Folk Pop, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Pop by Nagamag, United States|

“Ένα υπέροχο ερωτικό κομμάτι που σε κερδίζει από την πρώτη στιγμή. Τα ρομαντικά και επιδέξια φωνητικά εκφράζουν τόσο πετυχημένα τα συναισθήματα μας. Η αγάπη περιπλανάται ,άλλοτε βρίσκει το δρόμο της και άλλοτε χάνεται αλλά πάντα μια τόσο γλυκιά μελωδία υπάρχει μέσα μας για να μας τη θυμίζει. Παρασυρόμαστε μαζί της σαν αυτό τον παθιασμένο ρυθμό και βρίσκουμε το πραγματικό νόημα της ζωής.”

Lyrics of Chris Youmans – Summer Love

I wandered through the years just like a ghost
Hiding with the fears I buried down
When summer came when you gave my heart a home
But you vanished like a flame, where are you now?

Sometimes I close my eyes like you’re still here
I see your bluest eyes and feel your softest kiss
My memory of you helps face my fears
Like the echoes of your voice still saying this

Oh, our summer love, a season in time, we’re young in California
Sometimes we’re winning, sometimes we’re losing and that’s alright
Forever holding onto, oh our summer love

Your dancing silhouette burned in my mind
Like a dream of your reflection in my life
Still I wonder how to be a better man
And love myself so someone new can love me back

And you never got to see me in LA
Just like we talked, I finally found my real life
When summers pass, I’m still afraid of change
But I’m with my good friends here and still alive

Oh, our summer love, a season in time, we’re young in California
Sometimes we’re winning, sometimes we’re losing, we’ll be alright
Forever holding onto, oh our summer love

vermilion – SIKADE

Categories: Audio, Pop, Song, Spotify, The Latest, Video, Youtube|Tags: Alt Pop, Chamber Pop, Indie Pop, Norway, Review (GR), SIKADE, Spotify Playlist - Pop by Nagamag|

“Απαλά και αιθέρια φωνητικά σκορπίζονται στο χώρο σαν όμορφες πεταλούδες και κάνουν την καρδιά να φτερουγίζει. Η μαγική μελωδία γεμίζει την ψυχή και χαϊδεύει ανάλαφρα τα αφτιά μας. Το άγγιγμα της μας συγκινεί και ειδικά στο 2:11 μας κάνει να ανατριχιάζουμε από το πάθος της. Ο ρυθμός ήρεμος και σκεπτικός ρέει μέσα μας και αφήνει τα συναισθήματά μας να εκφραστούν.”

Lyrics of SIKADE – vermilion

her cinnabar grave
silhouettes dancing, dancing
barefoot, poisoned again
in the banquet
poisoned dancing again

red under the moon
under the moonlight, bathing
laughing, happy again
vermilion
bathing happy again

her limerent friend
dreaming of touching briefly
for a moment again
in the banquet
torture, briefly again
mercury friend
touching briefly again

barefoot dancing
poisoned happy again

In “vermilion”, SIKADE tells a fragmented story of obsession, intoxication and decay, revolving around the symbolism of a beautiful, but highly toxic red pigment. Harp arpeggios, brushed acoustic guitar, cinematic strings and ethereal vocals blends into a hypnotizing and rhythmic whirlwind. Inspired by artists like Björk, Soap&Skin and Agnes Obel, SIKADE’s combination of alt-pop and conceptual songwriting is already gaining traction after just two singe releases. “”vermilion”” is her third single from an upcoming debut album.

“Όμορφη και ρομαντική μελωδία με λεπτά και διακριτικά αγγίγματα. Γεμάτη θετική ενέργεια και παράλληλα φορτισμένη συναισθηματικά. Τα παθιασμένα φωνητικά με την ευκίνητη ροή τους μας γοητεύουν και απολαμβάνουμε να τα ακούμε. Ο ρυθμός με τις εναλλαγές του κρατά το ενδιαφέρον μας αμείωτο από την αρχή έως το τέλος”

Lyrics of townsend – bottles in a bar

She was living for the weekend
When i met her
Wearing a t-shirt
That had greek letters
Pulled me out my seat
To dance and I let her

Said she moved here from Tuscaloosa
Needed a change or just something new yeah
You bought me a drink and we turned it up
Been chasing the same night
A couple months

Couldn’t feel more right
When we’re both buzzed
But it’s not the same
When we’re not drunk

Ain’t it funny how we never fight
When we’re shooting doubles under neon lights
You lose your smile when you’re sober
It’s a little something more than a hangover

And I can see it when we’re heading home
Tunnel vision looking down at your phone
And it’s tough to try
When it’s hard to talk
Are we easy to break
Is that who we are just
Bottles in a bar

Sun’s up it ain’t a good morning
You’re here but damn it’s sure lonely
New day but same old stories
Over and over

Yeah we keep hanging on ‘til a downtown friday
And we knows its wrong ‘til we get a little sideways
Off then it’s on ‘til we’re out of my driveway
Tripping down broadway

Ain’t it funny how we never fight
When we’re shooting doubles under neon lights
You lose your smile when you’re sober
It’s a little something more than a hangover

And I can see it when we’re heading home
Tunnel vision looking down at your phone
And it’s tough to try
When it’s hard to talk
Are we easy to break
Is that who we are just
Bottles in a bar

Couldn’t feel more right
When we’re both buzzed
But it’s not the same
When we’re not drunk
It’s not the same
When we’re not drunk

Surrender – BABET

“Μια μελωδία που μοιάζει να έρχεται από το μέλλον αναστατώνει τις αισθήσεις και σκορπίζει γύρω της τη μαγεία. Τα ιδιαίτερα φωνητικά με την δυναμική τους παρουσία ανεβάζουν την αδρεναλίνη και με την εντυπωσιακή χροιά τους είναι πραγματική απόλαυση να τα ακούς. Η ένταση του ρυθμού απο το 1:47 κάνει την καρδιά σου να χτυπά δυνατά περιμένοντας ανυπόμονα την επόμενη κορύφωση του.”

“Όμορφη και ρομαντική μπαλάντα γεμάτη συναισθήματα. Τα υπέροχα φωνητικά με την ξεχωριστή χροιά τους ζεσταίνουν την ψυχή και την με την οικειότητα τους μας γοητεύουν. Ο ρυθμός σταθερός και ήρεμος ρέει τόσο λυτρωτικά μέσα μας και καταπραΰνει τα πάθη μας. Η απαλή και αρμονική μελωδία χαϊδεύει τα αφτιά και χαλαρώνει τις αισθήσεις.”

Lyrics of Louis Torre – read the room

Once again
I’m misunderstood
I feel too much
For my own good

They all want me light
They all want me breezy
Don’t even try
You come off too needy
Faking a smile
It’s all just too eerie
But these feelings they just don’t fit in

Hey now, It’s going right over their heads
They didn’t even catch a word that you said
You speak different languages,what’d you expect
No one understands you
Just read the room
Mmm
Mmm
Baby boy just read the room
People have it much worse then you
No one wants the truth
Baby boy just read the room

Open your mouth
You’re such a buzzkill
Your traumas not
Everyone’s issue

They all want me light
They don’t want your hurting
Don’t even try
You’ll be such a burden
Fake that damn smile
Just keep it all surface
Cause these feelings they just don’t fit in

Hey now, It’s going right over their heads
They didn’t even catch a word that you said
You speak different languages, what’d you expect
No one understands you
Just read the room
Mmm
Mmm
Baby boy just read the room
People have it much worse then you
No one wants the truth
Baby boy just read the room

Additional information/sources for Louis Torre – read the room

The artist explained that the song was inspired by a deeply personal social experience during a challenging period in his life. He reflected on being in a dark emotional place, which made it difficult to maintain the “funny and carefree” persona others expected of him. Despite feeling weighed down, he often tried to mask his struggles to avoid dampening the mood for those around him. Balancing these emotions with the pressure to appear upbeat became a significant theme in the song, capturing the internal conflict of putting on a brave face while struggling internally.
