about

"it was striking from the very minute the first verse comes into play. At times it appears fragile, like it could shatter in thin air, but other moments it’s purely passion, like a fiery roar from the deepest regions of her soul. Plus, you mix that in with the emotive quality of the interplay between guitar and bass, and well, these two had me wrapped around their finger in an instant" - austintownhall.com/2021/06/02/grace-and-elliott-share-beauty-queen/

"i like this, it grooves! The bass line is nice, the mix is really good, and I like the soft and subtle guitar tones, they remind me of the best of the old smashing pumpkins stuff in a strange way. I love how raw and transparent the vocals are too, it's brave to leave vocals completely dry (for the most part) like they are in this track and I 100% commend you for it because it totally works and your voice is absolutely fucking AMAZING and super special sounding." - trunkweed

"I love the melody and water-like flow and nature of production in this song. Soft ebb and flow of the horns got me from the start. Great arrangement and there was no lull for me from the beginning to the end. Love it!" - Woodrow Wood

lyrics

V1:
It’s late out
Only us in the town
It’s just you and just
Me now, stay out stick around

V2:
Et pahles mé, take me to your parties
D’la musique ou du kafi
Take me somewhere sweet here

CH:
And I think I love you more here every day

V3:
Years ago, in
Places out by the soho
Je s’genaons pas d’ériau
Never stopped to question

V4:
Donc oïmes mé
No one else is watching it’s
Just these stars above me
Listening and loving

CH2:
And I think I love you more here every day
And I feel he loves me in his stranger ways
And I’m begging, begging for you still,
I used to hang out late round here,
I used to hold your hand now I hold my sleeve

M8:
‘Cause he’s a beauty queen
He has no sense in him
Let me in.. loving him

My blues and my fatigue
My rush and dopamine
Let me in.. loving him..

And each day I try to love a little less
