BoneWalker Absolutely amazing album! An indie combination of americana-oriented songs with brilliant "arcana" sensation. Vocals so aery, music so mellow, a celebration of life's travel in a really succesfull debut! Congrats! Favorite track: The Emperor.

The Emperor 04:09
Jewels in the sky shining bright Jewels are thee eyes moonshined Jeweled pins the lies ornamented crimes well shined Jewels hid the sun of promised lands Ruins of our burning nights lying here won’t rest won’t fly Floating in the whirl of time Royal needs of golden crowns Kneel before your king or lose your heart Cursed mother’s child born from devil’s eye Preaching undone moral heavens Lonely is the cry of our gallant ruler’s try Lost in the call of the sirens Jewels in the sky shining bright Jewels are thee eyes moonshined Jeweled pins the lies ornamented crimes well shined Lost in the call of the sirens

The Fool 03:40
I remember we used to smile I still feel this heartbeat in me No tears no pain purple skies Restless, moaning sinners The world in wheels was turning round My mouth was dripping honey White lights were burning the sky Tangled storms and feathers Burn! Burn the witch! Screams at night Don’t pray for the summer This longing you hold in your heart Corruption, spells, wasting time Can you remember your smile? A crooked dingle on your face I kissed the lids of your eyes While your fingers were groping in my brain So shame So much shame We dragged all these times into the flames And all the pain All the pain Crawls like a rat chews my veins Burn! Burn the witch! Screams at night Don’t pray for the summer This longing you hold in your heart Corruption, spells, wasting time Can you remember your smile? I still feel this heartbeat in me

The Lovers 03:35
Lovers hold on tight The floor is full of glasses Don’t forget to lie The truth turns all to ashes The stars and the moon are far Why longing for the sunset? You found your perfect match? Stand still, don’t speak, don’t move you’ll crash it But how we’ll reach the light? How we’ll ride the stormy weather? My love, your thorny anchor Will drown your heart At night I wear my crown My dreams are stuck on playback “fool! “ your shadow shouts “well now he’s mine forever” Did we ever reach that light? Darling, have I ever passed the test run? My love, your thorny anchor You drowned your heart
5.
Lo and behold to the caravan’s stead While embellished in gold riding off with my head Who could’ve foretold that a house could’ve bled While you’re holding the keys to a half empty bed While you’re holding the keys to a half empty bed So bless you my love as your tongue remains still As the silence unveils Rotten gardens with fruits all of which we’ve both peeled Rotten gardens with fruits all of which we’ve both peeled Lo and behold the predictable ruse The embrace you misused under many a moon So bless you my guardian my joke of a man My selected disease, oh my warmest of hands My selected disease, oh my warmest of hands So bless you my love as your tongue remains still As the silence unveils Rotten gardens with fruits all of which we’ve both peeled Rotten gardens with fruits all of which we’ve both peeled So bless you my love as the silence reveals Though what lies in your hands Is no longer unshared as my heart remains still Is no longer unshared as my heart remains still
6.
Swear with a lie before you leave To bind us tight to dream not to fear It’s not hard to keep satisfied my soul Not to beg on my knees Not to cry for your kiss The sun is not shining without you anymore The cold black sky froze the moon and my soul Come feed my hunger for love And swear with a lie before you go Don’t expect me to be like everyone else My heart’s like a beast jailed in its cage Swear with a lie to break my chains And bind us tight like an everyday prayer The sun is not shining without you anymore The cold black sky froze the moon and my soul Come feed my hunger for love And swear with a lie before you go

Swans 03:41
Θυμάσαι; Έβρεχε πολύ εκείνο το βράδυ Το νερό έπνιγε το πεζοδρόμιο Μια πολύχρωμη ομπρέλα είχα, αλλά χωρέσαμε, θυμάσαι; Κάτω από τα σκεπάσματα ήταν ζεστά Όλα ήταν ζεστά, θαμπά και υγρά Οι κινήσεις σου, τα χείλη σου, τα χέρια σου, η αγκαλιά σου.. Έφυγες την επόμενη και πήρες και το φως μαζί σου σου είπα. Θυμάσαι ; Έκανε κρύο, και ο ουρανός έσταζε και αυτός λευκές απαλές νιφάδες Θεέ μου πόσο κρύο είχε Αλλά ήσουν εκεί και μέσα είχε ζέστη Το χιόνι πλάκωσε τα παράθυρα και η πόλη ησύχασε Τα ξύλα άχνιζαν θερμό φως Έφερες φαγητό και καφέ και μετά έφυγα Και όσο έφευγες πάγωναν τα χέρια μου θυμάσαι; Θυμάσαι; Μια γλυκιά μελαγχολική άνοιξη, η αγωνία σου, ο αέρας που μύριζε νερατζιές και τσουρέκι Πότε καλοκαίριασε δε θυμάμαι Η θάλασσα μας ταξίδεψε και εμείς μαζί της Αφήσαμε τη στάμπα μας σε διάφορα σεντόνια Λευκά και χρωματιστά Θαλασσινά και βουνίσια Και ήρθε το φθινόπωρο Ήρθε πρωτού καν κιτρινίσουν τα φύλλα Και το φως έφευγε Το φως έφευγε, έφυγε, έφυγες Θυμάμαι το φως έγινε ψυχρό Έβγαινε από οθόνες Και μια τριχιά έσφιγγε την ψυχή.. Την ψυχή.. πού να ήταν και αυτή; Ταξίδευε μίλια και μίλια μακρυά και δε γυρνούσε πίσω Θυμάμαι το κεφάλι σου μέσα στα χέρια μου Τα μάτια μου να σε τρώνε Μήπως και χορτάσει από την όψη σου το κενό της αγκαλιάς Θυμάμαι έναν κύκνο, θυμάμαι ενα στρατιωτάκι και πολύχρωμες πυγολαμπίδες «κύκνοι είμαστε» έλεγα Μετά θυμάμαι μόνο ένα παρκέ δεκαπέντε τετραγωνικών όλο κι όλο Κάθε σπιθαμή του, κάθε σκόνη και γρατζουνιά του Το ταβάνι Τρεις αράχνες εκεί, που έγιναν πέντε θυμάμαι Την ήσυχη κραυγή μου να με ξυπνάει Ένα έμβρυο που λαχταρούσε την θαλπωρή της κοιλιάς του Το παρκέ θέλει γυάλισμα μούσκεψε Και το φως ήταν ψυχρό, ψυχρό φως που έβγαινε από οθόνες Μούσκεψαν και αυτές Και η τριχιά όλο και έσφιγγε, έσφιγγε Ένα φάντασμα έμεινε και εγώ στην αγκαλιά του Ένα φάντασμα σε κάθε γωνιά της πόλης, κοιτάζει μέσα από παράθυρα Σφυρίζει, χαμογελάει Και ο αέρας μυρίζει εκείνο το καλοκαίρι Θυμάσαι; Ήμασταν κύκνοι Θυμάσαι;

The Tower 03:59
Turn your face look at me Touch my hair the rain is coming Hold your breath count to five Hide in me it won't last forever Clean up your memories, shut the hole in your guts And gaze at the sky Under the same moon we stand stripped off all our foolish pride Don't let it die, don't say goodbye Wear a smile face your fears Don't forget soon it will be over Light the night smoke the pain Dream again dive in the ocean Fill with gold the cracks you have, illuminate all these times And gaze at the sky Under the same moon we stand under the rising sun we smile Don't let it die don't say goodbye

about

Rosey Blue is a singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Athens, she presents her debut album “Swans” to be released on November 5th 2021.

The title is inspired by the very species of Swans, which has the habit of mating for life. Two halves into a whole. One that left and one that stayed looking for answers in the stars and fortune tellers, a story told by Tarot cards and their symbols. A record about roads that need to unfold ahead, break, become tiny raindrops and finally take their place in the universe.

American folk songwriting, orchestrations not confined only in one music style. “Swans” is a pure confession of the heart and in the end….healing.
