empty measures drop new single ‘This Life’.
‘This Life’ is an amazingly honest, deeply relatable song that if you have experienced depression or periods of sadness you will connect to the meaning. During my first listen I was in wonder that empty measures have written a song that I was actually feeling that day. I needed to hear that I do have someone that lifts me up and I should ask and express my feelings.
Mental health is being discussed more and more today and there is less of a stigma attached. After the events of 2020 many of us are emerging from lockdown and feel more able to discuss our feelings. ‘This Life’ highlights with it’s meaningful lyrics that it is ok to feel this way but remember there is a way out. I love how the vocals are raw and the music supports the lyrics rather than take over. A brilliantly written song about how we process pain and feelings. This song is a must listen song of 2021. Best listened to with headphones on in a comfy place ready to reflect on how you feel. Check it out here.

Lyrics
I don’t wanna come out and play
I don’t wanna come out and play today
Just want to fade away
I’m tired of all these games we play
Just wanna stay in bed
Stay in bed and pull the covers up
Stay in bed and hideaway
Hideaway and dream today
Cos I can’t do this life this way
And I can only see the grey
And I can’t take these lonely days
But then I hear your voice
Say I’ll be okay again
And I’m falling, can you life me up
When I’m falling, can you lift me up
Hold me ’til the storms pass by
Hold me ’til the pain subsides
I see hope and it’s in your eyes
But the rain is still falling
and I can’t do this life this way
and I can only see the grey
and I can’t take these lonely days
and then I hear your voice
Say I’ll be ok again
and I’m falling, can you life me up
Falling, can you lift me up
Tell me I’ll be ok again
Lift me up so I can see
Lift me so I believe again
Lift me restore my faith
Lift me so I’m ok again
Lift me lift me lift me lift me..
