“Headlines” is ELSY’s first solo release. The new artist is exploring her musicality as a solo act. This song marks the beginning of that journey. The song was written in 2017 and recorded in 2018. There are so many wonderful humans who helped out with this track. Thank you to Adrian Andres, who produced the song, the band – Alex Furlott, Johnathan Hyde and Craig Clemmens – Dopplegang studio for tracking the rhythm section, Dream House Studio and Jarrel Young for tracking the vocals, Mix and master by Velente Torez.
Headlines is about realizing you can’t hide your feelings anymore. It’s that horrifying and wonderful moment when you actually fall in love with a person, and all of a sudden your heart is on display and there’s nothing you can do about it.
lyrics
Headlines
Oh I spent so much time, building up all my pride making these cityscapes, out of my heartache
Don't you know that every stone, and brick is a miracle Towers with shining lights, oh they make up my skyline
I paved these roads and I did it on my own now you walked into my home
didn't know that I had room for you
Maybe I I do
You must have seen it, you must have known
You must have heard it, I feel exposed
I thought heartbeat my love they were so discreet
But they're written down printed out for you to read
So please be kind, I'm terrified my heart is in the headlines
Darling this load I bare, maybe you wanna share
I got so much work to do, Babe I know that you do too
Laugh and my whole world shakes, cry and my arms will aches I'll carry that weight for you, Maybe you will hold me too
Somebody told me life don't need to be so lonely You see everything is only
better when you're close to me
You must have seen it, you must have known
You must have heard it, I feel exposed
I thought heartbeat my love they were so discreet But they're written down printed out for you to read
You must have read it, my cover's blown
You maybe feel it, when we're alone
I thought my mind and my soul were just mine to keep
but they're written down and printed out for you to read
So please be kind, I'm terrified, My heart is in the headlines
You know my breath, my breath like every sigh is in the headlines you know my voice, my voice like every cry is in the headlines You know my breath, my breath like every sigh is in the headlines you know my voice, my voice like every cry is in the headlines You know my breath, my breath like every sigh is in the headlines you know my voice, my voice like every cry is in the headlines You know my breath, my breath like every sigh is in the headlines you know my voice, my voice like every cry is in the headlines
You must have seen it, you must have known
You must have heard it, I feel exposed
I thought heartbeat my love they were so discreet But they're written down printed out for you to read
You must have read it, my cover's blown
You maybe feel it, when we're alone
I thought my mind and my soul were just mine to keep but they're written down and printed out for you to read
So please be kind, I'm terrified, My heart is in the headlines
