lyrics
Lines turning cold now Frosted decisions You know the reason You promised me Lights bring your thoughts out Old roads to turn down I’m lined with divisions From all these decisions You promised me Darling can you slow down Rolling down the windows Let me blow out You knew what it was Yeah you know I told you slow down Can’t you see that I’m scared to let you go now Don’t leave me ‘for it’s done I gave you my visions Held them cold in position Dreaming who she was Hiding under words Losing what we were Who led me whos my guide Lost behind the eyes Hold you on this ride I wish I would of left it Even if you meant it oh Seats follow recline She calls you all the time Shadows over mind Overthink the distance Hoping that you'll listen Can tears erase the missteps You know I didn't mean to let you go Darling can you slow down Rolling down the windows Let me blow out You knew what it was Yeah You know I told you slow down Can’t you see that I’m scared to let you go now Don’t leave me ‘for it’s done I gave you my visions Held them cold in position Hold on a minute Just wait if you could hold on a minute I Hold on a minute Just wait if you could hold on a minute I Hold on a minute Just wait if you could hold on a minute

about

How to Swim EP sees Alamay and Omar embrace a new era and showcase an evolution in their sound, reflecting on past relationships, lockdown and their collaborative journey. Blending neosoul, trip-hop and R&B with warm, jazz flecked instrumentals and elements of UK rap, there’s a natural synergy between the two; Alamay’s distinctive, velvet vocals and Omar’s nuanced soundscapes fuse together seemingly effortlessly. The result is an all encompassing, ever-evolving sound that sees the duo stand out from the crowd. Having made their Glastonbury debut in June, with a set at much-loved UK weekender, Shambala Festival to come, these coveted bookings are testament to their beautifully crafted sound and live sets, a clear nod to their promising journey ahead.
