about

I wrote this song while i was healing from a botched vocal cord surgery that resulted in the rise of all sorts of psychological neurosis, and bad habits that were affecting my lust for life and my relationship. I wrote it at my rock bottom as a prayer for hope and change.

lyrics

Reality slips under the door
Like a draft in the night
I wish I could sleep
Hibernate in a dream till it’s alright
Oh, I want to be hopeful, hopeful
Oh, I want to be beautiful, beautiful
Again
I feel the mornings warm breath
Looming on my neck
And I don’t think i’m ready, no I don’t think i’m ready
To wake just yet
Oh, I want to be hopeful, hopeful
Oh, I want to be beautiful, beautiful
Again
With you, with you, with you
I know I struggle with the normal things
with my constant fears and all my neurosis
But I promise to get back on my own feet
Just to make it stop for you and me
And I know sometimes I lose the plot
Just shaking my fists at the goddamn clock
But trust me, all I want and all I need
Is to make it stop for you and me
And become hopeful like I used to be

“…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 ... more
