A poignant, powerful, but gently still, minimal soul number by the London-born R&B soul singer in a thank you letter addressing an absent father, and in turn, religious faith, with lyrical twist. To explore more of her work, see the Spotify embedded link below. Out on Polydor / BMG.
Thank you, oh, thank you for praying for me
Thank you god, thank you for being with me
I've never been religious
Never thought I'd need a father
Most of me is just my mother
The rest is dark matter
Thank you, oh, thank you for coping with me
And thank you god, thank you, for taking the blame from me
Have I pushed you to your limits?
Have I burnt out all the bridges?
Or am I just another victim
To this dark matter?
This is just a letter
I could write so much that my fingers they start bleeding
When I think of all you've done it's so hard to be honest
Hard to be honest
To this dark, dark matter
Thank you, thank you for being the man to me
Thank you lord, thank you for laying that damagе on me
Never thought you wеre a sinner
But I think you need a conscience
Thought you'd be that father figure
But you're just dark matter
Thank you lord, thank you for all of your lies to me
Thank you lord, thank you for going quiet on me
I'll never be religious
And I'll never need a father
Never thought I'd write this letter
To this dark matter.
