about

Stirring alt-folk single “Someday” is part demo, part polished production. Encouraged by peers to embrace the warm and intimate quality of the original laptop-recorded vocal, this unorthodox approach is what has earned ilonalowe the title of “the most promising, timeless and earnest singer-songwriter on the scene” (Scary Canary).

lyrics

It’s grist to the mill that ground me yesterday
So I followed the voice of old boys on the bay
They sang for my pain and it stung for a while
But soon I was hollow and soon I will find

A break in the wave and a sea bird’s call
A change of the guard and a church bell’s toll
And I’d lose myself in the thrill of it all
I’d come home a new girl someday
Someday

If only I’d seen how my fears dragged behind
The further I ran on, the tighter they tied
They stalked like a tiger, they coiled like snakes
They wrapped themselves ‘round me, clove hitch to my waist

Aaah x 3
Soon I was hollow and soon i would find

A break in the wave and a sea bird’s call
A change of the guard and a church bell’s toll
And I’d lose myself in the thrill of it all
I’d come home a new girl someday

The gape of a grave mouth, a nerve of steel
All dressed in black for a turning wheel
And I’d lose myself in the way that it feels
To come home a new girl someday
