about

This song is about weighing up and juggling many things, caught in a frenzy of 5 jobs, being broke and a bit broken, and considering moving in with my girlfriend 1 month into the relationship to save on money, rather than waiting for the right time. I felt I was losing myself in a rising tide.

lyrics

Pennies
Make it a day
When my arms won’t ache And my back isn’t breaking I’m not quite that age
I’m worked to the bone, for a Gain I’m not making, and I’m Faced with a pace
That’s not made for us making Kindness
Their taking is timeless
Cause I’m forgetting myself, and I know its’s not healthy
And if we shared the same bed, then my skin would be yours But I know if I don’t, then the time I’d spend drinking you in, My girl,
Would be wasted on thinking of you
My heart’s not mine
But my body sure is, love. And I rent her
For tenners
While time slips right by us. And I’m brave for the others My sisters and sisters
And I know deep inside That I hide from my mother
I’m forgetting myself, and I know its’s not healthy
And if we shared the same bed, then my skin would be yours But I know if I don’t, then the time I’d spend drinking you in, My girl
Would be wasted on thinking of you
But I know if I don’t, then the time I could spend drinking you in, My girl
Would be wasted on just thinking of you

about

Rona Mac Wales, UK

I write atmospheric Indie-pop songs about things that feel real to me, in hope that they might feel real to other people. I'm from West Wales, I'm 28, I'm gay, and I live in a caravan where I write, record + mix music. If I can talk about things we've been told we shouldn't, and help people connect to feelings they tucked away in their teens, then I'll be happy when I'm old. So I'm giving it a go. ... more
