With intimate, hushed voice and sound, particularly in the verse section that echoes Fiona Apple and Billie Eilish, this beautiful metaphorical single by the British singer-songwriter from Ripon in North Yorkshire comes from her new LP, Flora Fauna. This will be the third by Marten, real name Isabella Sophie Tweddle, 21, who has been creating and releasing music online since she was 12. Her music is out on Fiction Records/Universal, but can also be explored via the Soundcloud link below, or her website.
Born into a nursery
I've been growing leaf by leaf
Dying for the world to see
Ready
Solace coming over me
Greener than the olive tree
Riper than you'll ever be
Waiting for the penny to drop
Asking for the rain to stop
Feet are always getting hot
Competition for the space
Nature of the human race
Everything will be replaced
Eat the sun
And water up
Defeat someone
Can't get enough
I wanna feel alive
Garden of eternal sunshine
Blooming louder by the hour
Separate the sweet and sour
I am hungry for the power
Eat the sun
And water up
Give me some
Can't get enough
I wanna feel alive
Garden of eternal sunshine
In my garden, I sleep through the day
Soaking rays like it's food for the morn
There's no place I would rather escape
Look at me, I'm a flower in springtime
I wanna feel alive
Garden of eternal sunshine
