lyrics
Your breath is a ghost I can feel on my neck
Warm as my heart beats into your chest
Quietly still, I kiss you again
And you touch my cheek, the last time you did
But we fell asleep, Just for a second
And you awoke smiling at me in the darkness
A silhouette frame, a fade into silence
We closed our eyes, and I knew what had started
But will you come back and find me?
Please just know
Please know that I’m sorry
Your breath is a ghost I can hear when I’m sleeping
I hear your voice echo out to me
Like an ocean of noise whose waves are unending
I no longer know where we were at the beginning
But will you come back and find me?
Please just know
Please know that I’m sorry
For all these things that I’ve done without thinking
And for blindly breaking your heart and leaving
But now you are the ghost haunting my head
I know that you’re gone, but I wish you hadn’t left
Before I could tell you, before I could save it
But now it’s too late when it’s already ended
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
