about

“Shadowlands” is a mid-tempo soul jam with electric mbira harmonies, whose lyrics observe a friend’s erasure of self through years of burning the candle at all points and ends and ultimately experiencing the greatest devastation, not from a person but from a heartbreaking city.

lyrics

Shadowlands

What happened to you?
Why’s the space so dead
Behind your eyes?

Did you burn through the fire
That made you alive?

You walk and talk like
Someone I used to love,
But you're a whispery shell
Of your former self

A cut-out doll
Fluttering in the breeze

What happened to you?
You tried to grab the
World by the horns and
Fling it out into the sky

Scattering your prize wide
Like stars across the canopy…

Did you kill too many hopes?
Did you trash too many dreams?
Did the city break your heart
More than any woman dared?

What happened to me?
I almost followed your lead
Down that path

But I decided I had to live
Though with each and every day, I
Fight the temptation
To join you
In the Shadowlands
