Lyrics

Roll me, spin me to the stars
Keep me before I spin too far
Cut the ties, and I’ll surrender
Give you everything you need
A heart that’s warm and tender
A hunger I can feed

Release me, Float above the world
Ease me where the quiet hum is heard
Let the stars slip through my fingers
Where I sleep on clouds of ice
Drift away but I still linger
No more ties, I sacrifice

Gravity only likes me when I’m down

Falling, coming back to life
Tumbling when the time is right
Riding winds to keep me weightless
Rushing freely in the night
Up above I felt so shameless
Up above I’m out of sight

Catch me, crumble like dead leaves
Pieces build a melody
Sing me a song I won’t remember
Build me world I can’t forget
A summer in December
A life I won’t regret

Gravity only likes me when I’m down

Great song title and premise. Your voice is hauntingly beautiful and matches the somber guitar riff. Agree with @resonut123 that a real highlight is the way your voice and guitar play together during the title line. Awesome stuff!

The drop on the fourth line in the verses gets me each time... killer melody and lyrics, killer song @becooljanele 🤘🏻😎

Interesting inspirations for this, but I can hear it.
I like the Gravity of how you sing the Gravity lines.
Sublime lyric and Very Well sung too.

@williamjames thank you! I want to develop it in when I actually record it, but to play it and sing over it sounded weird and was hard lol 😂 thank you though that’s what I had planned!

The opening riff is very interesting. I would develop that if I was you. Maybe work the verse melody in with the riff underneath. Your vocal delivery is amazingly ethereal again matching the rather dreamlike lyrics. Very nice dreamlike floaty experience listening to this.
