While listening to a few of my chill/trance/dream-pop Pandora stations recently an artist started appearing that I hadn’t previously heard before: Emma Hewitt. I’m not sure why her songs weren’t included in those genre playlists years ago (her “Burn the Sky Down” album was released in 2012). Her music and heavenly vocals exude a wonderful haunting beauty. I recently purchased her CD (yes, I’m old school) but had to resort to ordering one from Australia via Ebay. There were none available in the US.
I’ve been absolutely enchanted and mesmerized the last two weeks; I can’t stop listening. There are numerous favorites for me on the album, including Crucify, Miss You Paradise, Rewind, State That I’m In, Circles, Foolish Boy and Still Remember You. Currently the track Colours is really pulling at me, including the lyrics.
Absolutely beautiful!
Lyrics:
If you had this time again
Would you do it all the same?
I wonder, would I?
Of the promises we made
Is there anything you’d change?
In the re-runs of our lives…
If I could call you for a day just to hear the words you’d say
I would…
All the colours that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we’ve been this time
All the people that you knew
They’ll come running back to you
All the faces that we’ve seen in this life…
And we never took the time
To see where we were going
We were only passing by…
And we never questioned why
The river keeps on flowing
The beauty of the ride…
If I could call you for a day just to hear the words you’d say
I would…
All the colours that you bring
All come rushing back again
All the places that we’ve been this time
All the people that you knew
They’ll come running back to you
All the faces that we’ve seen in this life…
The river flows…
All the colours that you bring
Will they ever come again?
All the places that we’ve been this time
All the people that you knew
They’ll be waiting there for you
All the faces that we’ve seen in this life…
All the colours that you bring
All we ever want to be
All the places that you’ve dreamed this time
All the people that you knew
They’ll come running back to you
All the faces that we’ve seen in this life…
