Mimic

from For Miriam - EP by Ellayo

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A vocal and instrumental meditation on bravery through space and breath. Each piece was recorded live in sound-specific spaces throughout the US: a church in Connecticut, a barn in Pennsylvania, a cabin in Ojai, California. The music draws inspiration from ancient hymns and classical orchestral pieces as well as modern instrumental music; with the exception of a binaural delta-brainwave on the final piece, there are no electronically created sounds throughout.

    It was produced by Grammy-nominated Tony Maserati protégé Jon Castelli (Macklemore, 6lack, Lady Gaga), and features string arranger and performer Rob Moose (Bon Iver, yMusic), drummer Jeremy Gustin (Albert Hammond Jr, Jesse Harris), woodwind player Stuart Bogie (Arcade Fire, Kronos Quartet, TV on the Radio), percussionist Mauro Refosco (David Byrne), and The Hazelrigg Brothers on upright bass and piano.

lyrics

I BEG, WHAT’S THE LESSON?
WE MIMIC WHAT WE KNOW, I GUESS
I’VE KEPT MY PROMISES LOOSELY
YOU’RE ALWAYS THE ONE LOST IN THE DETAILS

I SAW YOUR NAME ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE
YOUR FACE IN THE SHADOWED ROCK
I BEGGED AND BEGGED AND BEGGED YOU TO LEAVE
YOU SMILED AND SAID YOU WOULD NOT

HE SAYS HE LOVES HIS MAMA
AND I COULD SAY THE SAME
HE CRAWLED ACROSS ALL THE ROOFTOPS
TO BREAK MY WINDOW PANES

GIMME CONVERSATION
GIMME CONVERSATION
PLEASE
PLEASE

HERE’S MY LIFE STORY
IT’S ALL I EVER TALK ABOUT THESE DAYS
YOU’VE KEPT YOUR PROMISES LOOSELY
I’M ALWAYS THE ONE LOST IN THE DETAILS

I SAY I LOVE MY MAMA
I KNOW HE’LL SAY THE SAME
I CRAWLED ACROSS ALL THE ROOFTOPS
TO SCREAM HIS NAME IN VAIN

GIMME CONVERSATION
GIMME CONVERSATION
PLEASE
PLEASE
