about

JOHAN LENOX: Empress Of initially wrote these vocal parts over a mid-tempo musical arrangement with drums, before the decision was made to try them over a totally unrelated rhapsodic piano excerpt composed by Bryce Dessner. The piano, originally recorded live by ICEnsemble and then heavily manipulated, has an uncanny feeling, being both too low and too fast to have ever been played this way by a real person on a real piano.

ELLEN REID: This track had a long journey. At first we had Empress Of’s vocal line over a pop track, but I felt like it needed something less conspicuous to evoke the mood we were going for. After a few conversations, we threw the vocal line over Bryce Dessner’s hypnotic piano line, and we were immediately excited about this direction. 

lyrics

i don't want to be alone anymore
miss the room shake 
i miss having you next to me
telling me that everything is perfect this moment 
take it slow
i know you but right now i don't know what's gonna happen anymore
feel the room shake
take me back there
i know there's more there waiting for me
the silence and the room 
can't take me back to you
can't take this anymore
take this anymore
