Used to think I loved you
Used to think I loved you
I dreamed you into life
Attraction and distrust
Set in a lonely place
Just for the two of us
Used to think I loved you
Used to think I loved you
This room is neon lit
A fugitive's repose
Who says that artifice
Can't be beautiful?
Used to think I loved you
Used to think I loved you
Distance, like a drug
Craving for a gaze
Too far away
Used to think I loved you
Used to think I loved you
There was nothing above you
There's nothing to hold onto there
And I think I'm falling
I'm not waving, I'm drowning
All the voices surrounding
They tell me to let go
Used to think I loved you
Used to think I loved you...

At the Edge of the World
04:55

Street lights flickering
Midnight breeze is cold
I’m alone
Sometimes you run away
So someone will come
Take you home
Im in love with you
Trouble loves you too
This I know
We’re in the shadow of a dream
Trying not to lose
Control
Here at the edge of the world
He got on a train
Going in the
Other way
And every time I think I see
His ocean eyes
I feel the pain
Visions of a life
Circling my
Darkest star
The exquisite loneliness
Never knowing where
You are
Here at the edge of the world
You can find your way
Through the dark
When they whisper your name
A light passes through my heart
Always just out of my reach
And never too far away
Here at the edge of the world...

Street lights flickering, a midnight breeze runs cold; Samantha Farrell is standing alone and very content to be doing so, thank you very much. It is perplexing how a record seemingly about never getting what you want could end up being so deeply and soulfully satisfying, yet that is exactly the spacious, noir magic that singer-songwriter Samantha Farrell has wrought with her new collection of songs.
Her first release in three years simmers with a restless, late-night tension supported by a lush soundscape carefully woven by Will Dailey’s unique production and guitar prowess. The inhabitants of these songs are dreamers in a lonely city, haunted by myth and eros, ghosts of lives unlived, alternate dimensions and the supple, cosmic absence of a love that never arrives and never subsides.
In her first single, “At the Edge of the World,” out December 2020, a shadowed pianist runs scales in the dark on top of sparse, sensual rhythms and spacey, psychedelic guitars. Amidst a world of pandemic and upheaval, as fate would have it, this slow burn of creation resulted in the music arriving perfectly on time. It’s an eerily prescient soundtrack made for this strange moment of anxious isolation in our collective experience. It’s a record for the lonely ones; it’s likely for you, too.
