about

‘Empty Room’ is a song about how she loves ‘the sound of an empty room’.
It stems from her being a sociable introvert who could spend hours on end happily in the studio completely alone writing and playing music, but is not lonely or sad in doing so. ‘Some people feel sorry for you if you’re on your own, I’m just expressing that I’m really happy in my own company’. The song sounds dark from the beginning, but as she experiments with her
different styles of voice, it opens up an angelic layered depth as she layers her soprano countermelodies. She also expresses how she can hear music in her head; ‘I’ve always been able to hear music in my head, I could arrange a whole song in my head with multiple instruments and vocals and have often done so in bed at night or on long journeys. I never
thought it was unusual until I started to study (lightly) neuroscience and how people think so differently.

lyrics

What, what can we do?
I love the sound
Of an empty room.
Every crowded room I go, I just can’t hear a thing,
I need to be alone so I can hear the angels sing.
The orchestra inside my head is so entertaining,
I like to be alone sometimes don’t worry about me.’
