Blood Orange - Charcoal Baby (Lyrics)

Описание: “...Everything about it feels familiar, in the best sense, from the recorded monologues to the unfussily complex arrangement—in this case, the star is the guitar riff, a glimmering turnaround that is equal parts Rick James and John Frusciante. The groove is patient and loose, and overlaid with a distant saxophone solo and some warped synthesizers.

Most welcome is the warm haze that settles over the song, the same late-summer shimmer that made Freetown Sound feel like a transmission from somewhere better than here. Hynes’ heartfelt laments—about struggling to feel less alone, about waking up already feeling the undertow of sadness—seems to be reaching you via aerosol can: atomized, swirling around the instruments, and dissolving on contact. His voice is thin but sturdy and pliable, and it wraps itself around the song’s sinuous melody like a strong pair of arms, holding you in.” - Pitchfork, Jayson Greene, July 26 2018

“Devonté Hynes, better known as Blood Orange and formerly Lightspeed Champion, is a British singer, songwriter, composer, producer, dancer and director.”

[Verse]
When you wake up
It's not the first thing that you wanna know
Can you still count
All of the reasons that you're not alone?
When you wake up
It's not the first thing that you wanna know
Can you still count
All of the reasons that you're not alone?

[Chorus]
No one wants to be the odd one out at times
No one wants to be the negro swan
Can you break sometimes?
Can you break sometimes? (sometimes, ooh)
Charcoal make it start and make me liked at times
Look me down at queens all of the world
Can you break sometimes?
Can you break sometimes? (sometimes)

[Verse]
When you wake up
It's not the first thing that you wanna know
Can you still count
All of the reasons that you're not alone?

[Chorus]
No one wants to be the odd one out at times
No one wants to be the negro swan
Can you break sometimes? (sometimes)
Can you break sometimes? (sometimes, oh)
Charcoal make it start and make me liked at times
Look me down at queens all of the world
Can you break sometimes? (sometimes)
Can you break sometimes? (sometimes)

[Bridge]
(Can you break sometimes?)
No one, no one
(Can she break sometimes?)
No one, no one
(Can you break sometimes?)
No one, no one
(Can she break sometimes?)
No one, no, no one

[Outro]
Can you break sometimes?
Can you break sometimes?
Can you break sometimes?
Can you break sometimes?
