New song, "WHY", just released!
"Colin Bracewell's latest track, 'Why', is a masterful display of heartfelt lyricism matched with dynamic songwriting. The brilliant high falsetto cries against the minimal production, add depths of emotion, especially with such a variety of sounds that are being produced. Light ambient synths, diverse guitar strums, and a blind-sided switch of the melody and pace from the chorus into the bridge act as a clever misdirection leading into the eruptive outro. For as chill and minimal as it seemingly portrays, 'Why', is a cinematic journey that's left me hitting repeat, repeat, repeat, in hopes of discovering another goose egg of sounds I missed the first time around." EARMILK - David Sikorski
"Bracewell pairs wistful reminiscence with ringing guitar chords, that are allowed to vibrate through the song's walls."
Wes Muilenburg, EAR COFFEE

WHY
Why don't you listen, to me
So ashamed of what you've made me
Can't recall why I'm upset and bruised
Headspace in the wrong place
My God, it's aching for you
Can't recall why I'm obsessed with you
Let me see it through
So tell me why
So tell me why
You gotta let me know
Just gotta let me know
I don't understand why
I don't understand why
Please let me know
Or let me go
I don't know why we had to go but
Everything was so slow up
North where we could be ourselves
But everything was not ourselves
I don't know why you hideaway
From beach day or any day
Can you let it go….so.
I can see her
She's all cold up there
How to feel her touch
Upon her ladder
I can see her
I can feel her scratching
Just to feel her touch
I love her so much.

YOU'RE FINE
Flashing lights I see around
On the phone, their talking feels down
It’s clear to see that something’s not okay
So don’t work today, it’s not okay
And don’t tell me it’s gonna be okay
Because I know “okay” and it feels as though we’re slipping away
And something keeps it going every time
And even though you say, “You’re mine”
"You're mine"
But, it doesn’t feel like that
It’s cold outside, of course we’ll hide,
We’ll make it there some other way
Why must we fight or even try?
We’ll make it there eventually
And the pain fills you on
And it feels like you don’t belong
And the pain withers your insides
And, something keeps it going every time.
And it can’t get off, even if you try
And you wash away, but you still feel the line
Just know, you’re fine
Just know, all mine
Just know, you’re fine
Just know, you’re fine

20+ YEARS
Restless face, dirty phone
Lucky you, all alone
Love you Dear, so he says
Then he goes on a walk without you
All you get are pretty lies
They weigh you down
Come on with the compromise
Oh, but how?
2AM he comes to you
Yeah, ring that bell
Can we help?
Twenty plus years it's been now
But these last two have just
Brought me down
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
Can we work this out?
It's breaking my heart to see you down
This bluff, oh Mama, Mama how?
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
We can't work this out
People see, no one speaks
Twisted health benefits the weak
Wait in line, watch your step
Breathe in, breathe in, deeply
All you get are pretty lies
They weigh you down
Come on with the compromise
Oh, but how
2AM he comes to you
Yeah, ring that bell
Can we help?
Twenty plus years it's been now
But these last two have just
Brought me down
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
Can we work this out?
It's breaking my heart to see you down
This bluff, oh Mama, Mama how?
It's plain to see, just look around
Can we work this out?
We can't work this out.

LITTLE SECRET
Let me settle on a little secret
Straining my filtered heart
I can't help you
But you can help me
Come and put some time away for me
Oh, I can't help but see
You're the harmony
That filters right through me
Tally down your favorite blend
Raw and free just like you said
Come to me and we'll pretend
That nothing - your voice - nothing
Well now, don't talk
Don't speak, unlocked this is, but so unique
Come through to me
Avoid misuse broken down, nothing to lose (nothing to lose)
Tally down your favorite blend
Raw and free just like you said
Come to me and we'll pretend
That nothing - this mix - nothing
This valley has to see
To see
Music and lyrics: Colin Bracewell
