"written on a day when i was feeling extra low, 'Waking Up' is about dealing with depression. knowing you’re in a funk but unable to break out of it. as something i’ve learned to live with since a young age, i wanted to turn this feeling/experience into something sonically beautiful. after all, being able to feel any emotion whether it is pleasant or not means you are alive, & that’s pretty tight."
lyrics
Can someone wake me up?
Although I wish I was
in my dream,
safe from harsh reality
I need
space where I can truly be
myself
Can someone shake it up?
I’m almost halfway done
& I bleed,
but i don’t feel a thing at all
Two weeks,
in and off of stable thoughts
Oh, please
I’m losing faith 'n trust,
& what you say is wrong,
& I see life distorting endlessly,
& it breaks me up,
but i’m waking up
to see
Can someone wake me up?
Although I wish I was
in my dream,
safe from harsh reality,
I need
space where I can truly be
myself
Can someone shake it up?
(I know I think too much)
I’m losing faith 'n trust,
& I see life distorting endlessly,
& it breaks me up,
so don’t wake me up

Sublime album, fantastic voice and songwriting backed by solid band and production. Current favourite track is Give Me Another Day. The tracks are short and sweet but some could certainly stand extending for the dancefloor. Phing
A special, special talent.
The music and melody Cleo Sol is so healing to me.
Her music is inviting, and her spirit is receiving.
