spend some time alone inside my head, a song by Philip Brooks on Spotify

Philip Brooks releases dreamy indie pop single 'spend some time alone inside my head'

May 01, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Indie, Indie Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We’re super excited about this new release from London based artist Philip Brooks. For fans of indie-pop, bedroom-pop, or dream-pop, Philip Brooks brings an infectiously catchy and lovable sound to his music. The songwriting is brilliantly written, easy to digest, and incredibly fun. Right now we’re enjoying pretty much everything Philip has to offer, from his music, to his branding, and even the art direction behind the entire project. Give it a spin for yourself to see what all the hype is about and discover your new favorite song. Enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song sums up my struggle with mental health. Not only does getting better need a lot of personal effort that I've been running away from and denying myself in the past, it's often confronted with lack of sympathy by those that don't experience mental issues themselves. I believe many people feel tired of their problems being trivialized – just like me. So I'm trying to open up the dialogue and help people obtain better understanding of what it's like to go through what many people endure on a daily basis. 'It will get better' phrases won't help, but empathy will, and more mindfulness will go a long way.”  — Philip Brooks

Emily Rowed releases video for 'Watercolors' (Live)

April 29, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Live, Acoustic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Emily Rowed has become a favorite of the Gems & Secrets platform. Her singles ‘Pinball’ and ‘Watercolors’ immediately grabbed our attention and her creative spark is something that keeps us always coming back for more.

The lyrical depth behind her music is not only poetic but its rich in emotion. Her talents go far beyond just her creative writing though… her voice, her presence, and of course her vision are all pieces of a puzzle that are slowly, but surely, coming together in the most exciting way.

“Watercolors is about an effortless, flowing love that came out of nowhere,” says Rowed. “It was hypnotic - everything turned into sweet purples and vintage film.”

So naturally, when we received the stripped down version of her latest work of art, we were absolutely thrilled. ‘Watercolors’ (Live) highlights the deep imagery behind her lyrics and the pure talent of her voice and writing style. Give it a listen and fall in love with Emily Rowed once and for all and enjoy!

LYRICS:

I said I would never ever movie to LA

Now I am chasing every paper plane

for another minute

for another minute

with you in it

with you in it

You’re loving me like watercolors

watercolors

You’re loving me like watercolors

watercolors

I filmed you walking in the Venice waves

I fall in love again replaying the tape

for another minute

for another minute

I can hold it

I can hold it

You’re loving me like watercolors

watercolors

You’re loving me like watercolors

watercolors

we blend into each other

fade into the other

I’m on a paper plane

I’m moving to LA

You’re loving me like watercolors

watercolors

You’re loving me like watercolors

watercolors
