about

An ethereal lift off into the clouds, "harp song" takes you from lying in a sad bed to floating on layers of dreamy vocals, swirling harps, & sick cello slides. This emotive genre-bend of R&B, indie and alt pop is set to resonate deeply with listeners as Agnes Aleesy unravels all the things that once held her back.

lyrics

Wasted my young years laying in a bed I made for myself
Wasted my young years laying in a bed I made for myself
Oh, oh
laying in a bed I made for myself

Did I ever have that young ambition
Naivety to cover up reality with roses
Wasted all my years laid in a bed I made for myself
Laden with responsibility and haunted by the things I said to myself

This feels like the start of all I know unravelling
Take me to the start of innocence no inhibition

Now I’m playing catch-up with someone I wish I knew
I got so caught up in doing everybody else, I forgot to do you
Looking at you now I know the fear that held you down
'Cause it’s still with me now
Open eyes drawn down with lines
I've realised that time goes by and nobody’s looking for me

This feels like the start of all i know unravelling
Take me to the start of innocence no inhibition
This feels like the start of all i know unravelling
Take me to the start and I’ll pretend that it all works out

I know I said I wasted all those days by myself
And I’m not trying to play the victim here
I’m just tryna shift the blame to somebody else
You shoulda known better and I’m angry for that
But I never let myself for fear of being bad
And I’m finally unwinding all the fears that I had
And it still feels like the start
Oh, oh, oh

Agnes' music is the place she deconstructs her facade to show up unadulterated and unencumbered by shoulds and coulds and follows her curiosities. Music filled with lush strings, stacked harmonies and swirling melodies where you can find beauty in the existential dread. ... more
