about

It's tough to be alone, but learning to love yourself can be one of the hardest and most fulfilling things you can do. Sometimes, you need to save yourself.
There are many ways to interpret a song, and there's no hard and fast meaning because you bring to it whatever you feel it represents. Is it a pean to introversion? A song about a lonely outsider? The beauty is, you get to decide.
As part of our collaboration with Fable Gazers podcast company, we're exploring the concept of whether art can save you. Do you think it can? Look out for the podcast in which we ask sculptors, war photographers, musicians, poets and many more creators whether they think their work (and ours) can make someone's day brighter or even save them.

lyrics

She speaks to the night



Watch the girl walking alone

She’s never been home

Not for days, anyway.



Barefoot she speaks to the night

And she gets it right,

In the twilight it answers her.



She says, “Won’t you come in?

It’s not a sin, to see without looking.”

She stands, drinking it in,

her grin wasted on a sky full of stars.



She was the talk of the town

She’d walk around, looking over her shoulder.

And she never let anyone in,

Dark eyes and lies

kept us at a distance.

But sometimes, she still speaks to the night

The stillness around her

becomes her companion.



She says, “Won’t you come in?

It’s not a sin, to see without looking.”

She stands, drinking it in,

her grin wasted on a sky full of stars.
