A tender, breathy, beautiful, nimble, catchy but lyrically dark indie-pop love song by the duo of Macedonian-born vocalist Jova Radevska and veteran multi-instrumentalist and producer Mark Vernon, with folky acoustic guitar lines and decorated with glockenspiel. It’s taken from their forthcoming album Dreamcatchers, released on 1 March, and follows last year’s debut LP, Nine Lives. To explore and enjoy more by YOVA, see also the other embedded links below.

I have died many times before
A different type of death
There’s no worst feeling
Having to choose which one was the best
There’s no common ground with reasoning
I don’t hear it when I’m sad
‘Cause judgement day comes
With every step I take
No no, I won’t wait until I’m safe
‘Keep your love to yourself ’ - I hear it say
As I walk up the pavement to the twisted light
‘Keep your love to yourself’
Those addictions, they have turned my mind
‘Where’s the meat on your bones’ - I hear them say
There’s no fire in your blood anymore
Frozen patience and youth on a District Line train
Can you love what they tell you to,
without passing the blame?
The road less travelled narrows over time
Nowhere in sight that finishing line
Someone’s written down a law that doesn’t define you
For all that matters, look inside you
‘Keep your love to yourself’ - I hear it say
As I walk up the pavement to the twisted light
‘Keep your love to yourself’
Those addictions, they have turned my mind
Another one is right behind the corner
A vision of a smile, please take it far from
this heart of mine
‘Cause it’s got a mind of its own
Don’t wanna be a wounded soldier
A casualty to a hope
‘Keep your love to yourself’ - I hear it say
As I walk up the pavement to the twisted light
‘Keep your love to yourself’
My addictions, they have turned my mind
