A fabulously dark, smoky, brooding, visceral debut single with richly swelling orchestration by the British singer-songwriter Imogen Williams, one about a failing relationship expressed in vivid, recurring dream, and “a waking realisation that unless addressed, the dream, and the pain, won’t leave”. Out on Vertex Music. To explore and enjoy the single but also keep an eye out for more by Imogen and The Knife, see the embedded links below.
I woke outside the house that’s built like a boat
I knew where I was because it was tight in my throat
Sitting like a trained dog just waiting for the ball
All the chemicals I’m made of, just waiting for your call
Then the door flew open and all the people sat around
- a mosaic of everybody who had ever let me down
I pulled up a chair to the Apostles of my Pain
In some relief, I drank, just to get out of the rain
In both hands, you clasped a silver blade
You were laughing like you loved me, my initials you engraved
I go to speak but only backwards can I talk
When I finally get the floor
The boat house comes chalk
Oh Mother of GOD
This can’t be the only one
Waking up nightly to the same old jagged song
I know we tried
But we used to get along
Now I wake up nightly to the same old jagged song
Oh Mother of GOD
This can’t be the only one
Waking up nightly to the same old jagged song
I know I’m just tired
But we used to get along
Now I wake up nightly to the same old jagged song
Mother of God
