about

In 2015 I had vocal cord surgery that ultimately caused the loss and compromise of many aspects of my voice. This had a profound effect on my sense of self as a young adult, as well as my relationship with music in general. Writing and producing music was what I lived for, and suddenly I felt incapable of comfortably doing so. It had been years since the incident and still I was mourning the loss of what felt like my most trusted friend, Music. This song is a spell I wrote in pursuit of correcting my strayed relationship with music and my own voice.

lyrics

COLORBLIND
I would die in her depths
Lucid surrender in her breath
Huffing nostalgia like it’s gasoline
I’ve got too many tongues to say what I mean
Come home
Come home to me
Cause i’ve been colorblind everyday that you’re gone
Darkness in a file
To sip when uninspired
Friction and frequency
I miss you like a child
I can’t listen
And just consume her waves
Broken vocal chords
Choking on her name
All in vein
Come home
Come home to me
Cause i’ve been colorblind everyday that you’re gone
My greatest power was controlling you
An air bender and a sorcerous too
My dearest friend in all shades of blue
Everything I wanted was you

“…she’s got a dark pop vibe, but more dusty guitars than trendy cold electronica.” – The Deli Magazine

“Melo has created a guitar-heavy, alt album that holds true to her singer-songwriter roots.” – Culture Collide
