Under Your Skin was my second release.
Before it, there was uncertainty. After it, there were many songs.
Most of them will probably never see the light of day.
This is where I started getting bolder.
I wrote it while letting go of something that had kept me stuck for a long time, and released it once I knew I had moved past it.
Sonically, I started experimenting more.
It’s layered, deliberate and a little rough around the edges.
Some things stayed:
reverb, synthesizers and distorted guitars.
Those, I’m keeping.

I liked letting it stay slightly off
and visibly handmade.
Just like the song.
It’s playful
and dreamy
and funny.
And that’s enough.
The video came from instinct.
I had an idea and let it run wild.
It was fun.
I wanted images to sit with the sound.
Nothing more.
There was a concept,
I just didn’t bother perfecting it.

Turn around and leave
I never meant to turn you
into someone that
You’re re not meant to be
Now close the doorI cannot stand your presence now
and it hurts so much
‘cause I’m missing - you
You say deception’s my reality
and you won’t believe me anyway
So what else is left to say?
For me…?
Now turn around and leave
We’ve been through this
a million times
And I don’t know what else to change -
about me?
But under
your skin
Is where I always
wanted to be, oh
And it’s a shame
These needless fights
and hollow lies
And those disguises, oh
It’s such a shame (it’s such a shame)
It’s such a shame (it’s such a shame)
(It’s such a shame these endless fights and hollow lies and those disguises oh, it’s such a shame )
Now turn around and leave
For tomorrow you’ve already found
another place to be
So don’t pass the buck to me
Devotion is key, my love
You left to do what you were meant to do
So don’t ask why I turned away…
from you..

But under (under)
your skin (your skin)
Is where I always (always)

And it’s a shame
These needless fights

And those disguises, oh
It’s such a shame (it’s such a shame)

And he said
Cold black rain would disappear
Why so sad?
Why so sad?
Let me under your skin baby
Why so sad?
Why so sad?
Come on, pull me close
And I will promise you the life
that you’ve always dreamed of, gotta show you some delightful things to choose from
So much more than what you,
used to know…
Just let me under your skin
Just let me under your skin, oh
This love is suffocating me
But under
your skin
Is where I always wanted to be
Oh!
And it’s a shame
These needless fights
and hollow lies
And those disguises, oh
It’s such a shame (it’s such a shame)
