Lyrics:
Anyone can tell you that I’m no faint of heart
I’ll fight fire with fire for the ones I love
Like a broken needle I can’t penetrate the skin
Feel I’m on the outside looking in
But Who am I
To tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I
to warrant what’s wrong and what's right ?
It’s not my place and no matter what I say
You’re gonna do what you want anyway
I thought I could remove the pain
But that’s my foolish thinking
Anyone can argue that I’m nobody’s fool
I saw heartbreak coming and I knew it would be cruel to you
Tried to orchestrate a different kind of song
Move your mouth and hands to play along
But Who am I
To tell you what to do with your life?
Who am I
to warrant what’s wrong and what’s right ?
It’s not my place and no matter what I say
You’re gonna do what you want anyway
I thought I could remove the pain
But that’s my foolish thinking
Everybody’s saying that you look old enough
Spent my nights praying that you’ll grow up to be tough
There’s no use pretending that i’m okay when I’m not
don’t make the mistakes I made and then forgot

Replay Lyrics:
What you doing with my head?
I can’t get caught up Again
What’s the matter with my head?
Stuck in automatic
What's the matter with my Brain?
I’m master of my domain
What you doing in my head?
Can't stop the replay
Well I’m all play, I don’t hate, don’t wanna fight
Bite bullets cos I gotta get you out of my sight
but I don't want the movies to play in my mind
drunk on your touch like a moth to the fire
I don’t wanna be followed around and torn up
Over and over and over
but I don’t wanna feel nothing without you around….
WHAT!
WHAT!
What's the matter with my Brain?
I’m master of my domain
What you doing in my head?
Can’t stop the replay
You trigger my
Freeze or fight or flight
i can’t rewind
or fast forward in time
I’m running circles like a muse with no head
nothing beautiful is yet to be spared
All I see
All that stays
Are pictures of us on replay
All I see
Is all that pain
Pictures of us on replay
On replay
On replay
I’m on role play, smile and wave, say that I’m fine
Make an ally of the sun so I can stay in the light
Cos I don't want the dark to sneak up like a spy
See what you've done I can't sleep through the night
I don’t wanna be caught in the crossfire of your love
But I don’t wanna feel nothing without you around…
All I see
All that stays
Are pictures of us on replay
All I see
Is all that pain
Pictures of us on replay
On replay
On replay

Lyrics:
I’m the accident waiting to happen, it’s just a matter of time
Back of the car again wondering why I got so determined to say
‘I lack the courage to take care of myself’
Well ain’t that a turn on babe?
Turn this car around I need somebody
To hold me when the morning comes
Go on on and save me
I’m sinking in to my feelings
And i’m scared they’re gonna drown my confidence
Go on and save me
I might look capable but I’m not
These days you’re all that I’ve got
I’m the acrobat turning around inside of your circuitry mind
under the covers i don’t wanna come out till you make me feel alive
I've got the money to take care of myself
But I spend my time on suffering
Just this time around I need your body
If only when the morning comes
Go on on and save me
I’m sinking in to my feelings
And i’m scared they’re gonna drown my confidence
Go on and save me
I might look capable but I’m not
These days you’re all that I’ve got

She was deeply spiritual, yet irreverent, she could dance from deep wisdom to utter ridiculousness in a second. I want you to all be blessed by our friendship and her incredible spirit. If you have lost a close one, remember they're still here, so live to make them proud.
Emily, your name will not be forgotten. You are missed so much. Somedays the only thing I can do to feel better is watch this video of us. And remember your light is still here. I'll try all I can to live like you lived... wild, free, daring and brave.

I chose the song ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’ and arranged it for 4 vocalists including myself plus organ and upright bass. My friends Daisy Spencer and Cherie Butong filmed us performing it at San Damiano church & I’m so proud of how this turned out.
It was humbling to hear our voices and vibrations resonate in this space and to be a part of such a beautiful project.
Thank you to the AMAZING team who helped me create this :::

I believe so deeply in the work of Tirzah International and the way they partner with LOCAL programs run by Ethiopians (the Beza Empowerment Program) to empower them and the work they do with women and children.
They run a program to help women embark on their own sustainable businesses. These women are experiencing deep change in their lives as they embark on a financially independent future. They receive seed money from the Beza empowerment program which allows them to take their skill and expand upon it.
In the video I invite YOU to join with me in supporting the work of Tirzah. For the month of June, I want to see what we can do together. For every person who donates (please let me know in the comments!) I will personally raise my own monthly donation. Help me invest in these amazing women as they build their businesses and become beacons of hope in their community.
Thankyou for listening !!!

Lyrics:
Lightyears from everyone
Stranded on a foreign sun
Blacked out upon the edge
Am I the only one out here?
Dazed in the daytime light
Floating in a violet sky
Am I the only one
The only one around out here?
When open my eyes
I see someone I used to be
When I open my eyes
It's all coming back to me
Come and take me lightyears
Back to where we're from
We could be together
That's where we belong
Are you out there?
Come and send me a sign
As long as we're together
We can glow
Forever you and I
Ooh, ooh
(Forever, you and I)
Ooh, ooh
('Cause we're all made of)
Lightyears from everyone
I wonder what I have I become?
Washed up on a distant shore
No sign of me here no more
So fast, we're out of sight
Moving at the speed of light
Pumping our hearts in time
Break through the atmosphere
So high that I can't see
It's all coming back to me
Come and take me lightyears
Back to where we're from
We could be together
That's where we belong
Are you out there?
Come and send me a sign
As long as we're together
We can glow
Forever you and I
Ooh, ooh
(Forever, you and I)
Ooh, ooh
('Cause we're all made of)
As long as we're together
We can make it if you're ready
As long as we're together we can glow
'Cause we're all made of light
As long as we're together
We can make it if you're ready
As long as we're together we can glow
Tell me, are you out there?
Can you send me a sign?
As long as we're together
We can go all night—
As long as we're together
We can make it if you're ready
As long as we're together we can glow
(Ooh, ooh)
Move all night—
As long as we're together
We can make it if you're ready
As long as we're together we can glow
(Ooh, ooh)
Thankyou for your love love love & your beautiful spirits !!

Official Lyrics:
next time I’ll be kinder with you
there’s just this habit that I have
I throw my words around like fire
they catch on your good heart and your peace of mind
next time I’ll be kinder
if I learn to take it lighter when you
tell me there’s something that I lack
would that make you change your mind?
would that make it better and buy me some time?
’cause I’m damned if I do
and I’m damned if I don’t
every time I swear I will
you say that I won’t
but there’s a better version of me
stay for the person I’ll be
if there’s a next time I’ll fight harder for you
won’t take for granted what we had
I wake with you in mind but I’m tired
of all these different phases
are all these faults of mine?
’cause I’m damned if I’m true
and I’m damned if I’m right
everytime you say I’ll lose
I swear that I’m trying
if there’s a better version of me
would you stay for the person I’ll be?
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be
stay for the person I’ll be

Official Lyrics:
I know what I know what I know what I know what I know
not many things I know but I know what I know and I’ll grow
there was a time when I was low so low so low
but that’s the time when I had to show
I got a heart that’s primal
cause I need your love for my survival
life’s got me on trial
I confess I’ve been messed up
in denial
because this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know this much is true
this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but i know that I hurt as much as you
I go where I go where I go where I go where I go
I’m a foreigner everywhere I roam
but I see in you what I see in myself
it’s written in the marrow of my bones
I got a heart that’s primal cos i need your love for my survival
life’s got me on trial (there’s nowhere else I’d rather be)
I confess I’ve been messed up in denial (till the bright lights come for me)
because this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know this much is true
this is what means to be human I don’t know much but I know that I hurt as much as you
I got a heart that’s primal
this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know this much is true
this is what means to be human
I don’t know much but I know that I hurt as much as you

LYRICS:
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
under condition
we’re on our way to the top
we got the world at our fingers
we make the penny drop
got a means to get me outta the gate
and I won’t stop till I wake
i’ll say it loud till I mean it
talk like I’ll be the messiah
when I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top of the world
see me run
see me run
see me run with the girls
I’m on top,
I’m on top,
I’m on top of the world
I need a break, then I’ll take to
to top of the world
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
euphoria
I missed you like a new treasure
we go so good together
search all my life to find better
but I won’t hold my breath
I’ll just fill up and deliver
they got attention deficit
I wait for the good lord to visit
mary mary
All my life turned to dust
No one knew who to trust
Had a chance for a good life
see me on television
on billboards and banners
see me on white picket fences
now watch me building my palace
out on the run
you’ll see me gathering martyrs
I won’t forget where I started when we would
pray from the gutters!
cause I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top of the world
send me up
send me up
with the diamonds and pearls
I’m on top
I’m on top
I’m on top of the world
they can talk, they can talk,
but I got the good word
and it’s crazy I’m defined brand new
it’s amazing I got high on a view
but tonight I’m feeling tired and alone
dear lord, I hope we didn’t go wrong
I think I’m winning
feel like I might
feels like I’m in it
feel like a god
I’m in demand
they’re on my time
one in a million
fought a good fight!
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
we prayed from the gutters
like martyrs we followed you
prayed from the gutters
like martyrs we followed you
I’m on top I’m on top
I’m top of the world
see me run, see me shout what I heard
I’m on top I’m on top
top of the world
On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase
Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day)
uphill I’m winning
not concerned if I’m cheating
they built me up to be beaten
they built me up to be beaten
A NOTE FROM KIMBRA :
I’ve been a big fan of Apothek for a while.
I asked if they would choose a song of mine to rework.
••••
They chose Everybody Knows & sent back their version. I was totally blown away by the way they took the song to a whole new place emotionally. It evoked new depth in the lyrics and had this hypnotizing patience to it with a quiet kind of violence and also a soft, strange intimacy. I felt like I was hearing the song & its meaning (even to myself) in a whole new way.
••••
On making the rework, Nils (of Apothek) said to me, ‘Everybody Knows' has this extremely powerful chorus and it could easily be a much louder experience in a busier soundscape but I really enjoyed putting this song in a mellow and contemplative
environment full of acoustic warped sounds where it could take as much or as little space as it needed.
Sometimes it feels soulful, warm and free - other times it feels a bit wound up and expressive. I like that duality.’
••••
I felt so moved by the rework that I sent it to my friend Chester Travis (director of the video for 'Goldmine') to see if he would make a visual accompaniment for the song. We both felt this song was open to so many different interpretations but definitely agreed that the song speaks to oppression, and we wanted to show another side of that and have it represented by an entirely different video.
••••
This evokes heavy emotions and it’s not always easy to speak openly about the ways we experience oppression in our lives but I’m thankful that art is a way for us to see things anew, and it also grants us the freedom of individual interpretation.
My friend Chester put this song in a stark domestic light that gave my lyrics an eerily poignant and even disturbing angle. But I think it’s important we use music to give us new (sometimes challenging) perspectives, thanks to the eyes that have courage to capture what we can’t always see so quickly for ourselves. Thank you also to Safe Horizon for getting behind this in a way that can actually impact real life.

I welcome you to view this song now through the lens of my 2 very talented friends, Apothek & Chester Travis.

Official Lyrics:
money moans
calls you home
vacant eyes
they won’t tell a soul
you fooled me once
now I’m twice as old
see I ain’t gonna lie
but I ain’t gonna phone you
no I ain’t gonna try
to forget what I’ve gone through
got a little box, yeah
that I’m gonna open
take your promises
cause they’ve all been broken
everybody knows about what you do
everybody saw and sold the truth
I was young and gullible
but baby I grew
and now the whole worlds watching you
hands to the bone
hands to the heart
bodies alone
they hide in the dark
but is it a fight
worth fighting?
see I ain’t gonna lie
but I ain’t gonna hold back
or try to deny
you turned a damn good heart black
got a little box yeah
that I’m gonna take back
don’t make your promises
cos I’m finished with all that
everybody knows about what you do
everybody saw and sold the truth
I was young and gullible
but baby I grew
and now the whole worlds watching you

Jaga Jazzist are one of my favorite bands and a way I like to stay inspired is to re-approach my favorite songs as a way to honour them and unveil different aspects of the original song. When the opportunity arose to reinterpret 'Oban' I was really excited at the challenge of developing such an incredibly dimensional and technicolour piece into more of a 'pop’ style arrangement.
Young Dreams made an instrumental rework of the original song set in a psychedelic 70’s world. I fell in love with the mood of it and added a vocal and lyric in homage to that era of soul ballads. We then collaborated on the final arrangement/ production, and after our back and forth we ended up with an entirely new song titled ‘Relative Peace’.
Songs is out now Spotify & iTunes through NinjaTune!!! Hope you enjoy it and make sure you check out the original song by Jaga Jazzist here :

Lyrics below!
RELATIVE PEACE
woe I’m in
memory never can win
i'm dreaming i was next to you
to you
to you
all this empty space
used to be full up of him
dreaming now will never do
won’t do
won’t do
won't do
oh baby
I tried so hard to make you come back
tell me does she treat you right?
does she lie?
does she write?
does she call back?
oooo
oh baby you make me wanna take back whats mine
no more running around you
time won't bring another
say you're living in a 'relative peace'
what good is my plea if you're relatively happy?
I know i make you weak
now we never speak
I still know what you think about
I know what you need
say you're losing sleep
tell me does she treat you right?
tell me does she treat you good?
ooh baby
tried so hard to make you come back
ooh baby you make me wanna take back whats mine
she's like Jekyll around you then Hyde when the night comes
say you’re living in… a relative peace
i'm on my knees
what good is my plea if you're relatively happy?
say you're living in relative peace
say you're
(love of mine)
she's like Jekyll around you and Hyde when the night comes
what good is my plea if you're relatively happy?
