lyrics

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

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
