With lush, artful arrangements and vocals that float over hushed drum & bass beats, the debut record from Bows is like an unsettled dream filled with Freudian imagery and subconscious yearnings. Taking elements of Björk and Portishead, Bows give rise to something at once mysterious, disturbing, and beautiful.
LYRICS:
Sleepless nights by candlelight
I'm sick of sneaking round
A kiss is a kiss but this is fake
I spend all my time trying to stay awake
But if I'm dreaming
Why do you look so alive?
The truth is you won't change for my sake
I guess at least we tried
Moonlight drives our lives are boring
Fed up sneaking round
This true-love affair is fading fast
Feels like the sun's coming out at last
And if I've been dreaming
Why did it seem so contrived
Up there with you
Just feels like falling
Well, at least we tried
12 years ago
13 years ago
15 years ago
16 years ago
