Frozen Fish 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Don’t come closer to the water, there are ghosts they wanna grab your feet and pull you underneath the ocean’s roof Don’t come closer to the lake it overflows and Drags you in to watch the show that goes on till there’s only blue, blue, blue Hold me back from the sea Frozen fish stay in the deep Those who enter won’t be seen, seen again Don’t come closer to the river, they will slowly push you in and no-one knows that you’ll run out of breath so soon Don’t you see they’re only trying to mislead you trying to make you believe you have the right to choose, choose, choose Hold me back from the sea Frozen fish stay in the deep Those who enter won’t be seen, seen Never come back to this place of bones and shipwrecks Turn around and hit the road jack This will be the death of you Hold me back from the sea Frozen fish stay in the deep Those who enter won’t be seen Hold me back from the sea Frozen fish stay in the deep Those who enter won’t be seen

In The Dark 03:23
lyrics

I follow the night like a friend I cherish the chains that bind our hands I’m swallowed in black black black black ... I follow the night I follow the night, my faith is blind He’s traded his secrets for my eyes I’m swallowed in black black black I follow the night In the dark, dark We hide our real names under our skins But he and I won’t let no one in So we remain black black black I follow the night I follow the night like a friend I cherish the chains that bind our hands I’m swallowed in black black black black I follow the night In the dark, dark Leave a light on If I drown in the dark, dark in the dark, dark In the dark, dark in the dark ,dark Leave a light on Leave a light on Leave a light on..

House Of Wood 04:05
lyrics
buy track
We could build our own house out of wood And stay up as late as we should As the flames grow higher and higher We dance to the light of the fire Oo.. Oo.. Fire, fire We should cover the windows, close the blinds Cause it’s my own business what I do inside As the flames grow higher and higher We dance to the warmth of the fire Oo.. Oo.. Fire, fire Oo.. Oo.. Fire, fire I’ve found a perfect match, burn down this lover’s nest Fire Wood in the fireplace, burn down this lover’s nest Fire Oo.. Oo.. Fire, fire Oo.. Oo.. Fire, fire

Statue Of Sand 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Heartbeating, Find a falling star amongst the diamonds in the sky You didn’t feel it, when it fell down on your head Words in the wind they’ll all go away You’ll forget the stories you’re told They’re all in your head where they grew old We were a statue made of sand I always knew in time we’d melt To let it flow away We were a statue made of sand I always knew in time we’d melt To let it flow away Till it all explodes someday Prepare the boats for sailing Hold your breath, we’re falling out of shape Remember no-one will be left behind Words in the wind they’ll all blow away We’ll forget the stories we’re told They’re all in our heads where they grew old We were a statue made of sand I always knew in time we’d melt To let it flow away We were a statue made of sand I always knew in time we’d melt To let it flow away Till it all explodes someday

Save Me From The Woods 05:32
lyrics
buy track
I grow leaves out of my hands my legs are getting rigid  There's a sharp frost in my head  I feel it growing, it is growing all over me Unravel me from these branches they are suffocating me Save me from the woods For a tree like me it ain't a place to grow my roots Save me from the woods I shiver and howl but I can't move  When the earth turns black and cold I'm wide awake My blood is rushing faster, 'm like a bubble about to burst I want to run through these meadows, right into the sun  I wonder how my body became so numb Save me from the woods For a tree like me it ain't a place to grow my roots save me from the woods I shiver and howl I grow older, I grow strong All the leaves I have lost are drifting to the sun I capture the air deep down in my lungs but I shiver and I howl when the morning comes Save me from the woods for a tree like me it ain't a place to grow my roots save me from the woods for a tree like me it ain't a place to grow my roots save me from the woods I shiver and howl but I can't move

Human 04:37
lyrics
Human, behave yourself, you have burst at the seams Let it all flow out, open your mouth Often I lie wide awake, think of things I can make But I don’t seem to have the parts to build them Human, I wonder why you’re a better make than I could ever build or create, you know not love or hate I’m so scared of what will kill me in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance to be someone To be human Look what we’ve done Look what we’ve done I would give my life To be human I would give my life To be human Human, I’m trying to come clean, I will be a better me I will not drink until I’m dead, I’ll make the most of it I don’t know what it’s like to be alive, to say goodbye To cry a thousand times, because my ears won’t listen Human I’m trying not to lose my faith in you I’ve sussed out all that I’ve seen through I’ve sailed an ocean I am so scared of what I’ll look like in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance to be someone To be human Look what we’ve done Look what we’ve done I would give my life To be human I would give my life To be human I used to hear it all so loud, the sound of my heart breaking The truth is waiting to be found, I trust that I will take it I would give my life To be human

Salty Waves 04:40

Salty waves, will take us away We toss a coin into, depths of our hearts Salty waves, forcing us to the railway where the train creates unbeatable beats Salty waves, give me some time to stay Give me some time to say, who you are to me Salty waves, come take us away We will not play the game of gambling our hearts Honestly, maybe I could not see I love you constantly, unbeatable

Drops 05:16

There’s a place I love Where I go off Blind still I see sparks Wait for the dew at dawn There’s a place I made of all the signs on the sidewalk Blind till I see sparks They are falling water drops drops drops drops..

about

Shanna Nicó Amsterdam, Netherlands

Shanna Nicó: eigenzinnige, sfeervolle muziek met een donker randje. Kenmerkend zijn de verrassend verweven vocals, de percussie en hun intieme performance. De muziek ademt een liefde voor het nachtelijke en de naakte waarheid. Hoop, eenzaamheid en verlangen worden ontbloot met zowel grote kwetsbaarheid als kracht. Geïnspireerd door o.a. Lykke Li en Kate Bush nemen ze je op eigen wijze mee. ... more
