about

Halifax-based singer-songwriter Willa Owen introduces herself to the world with her debut single ‘Sundown’. Owen’s soothing lullaby-like voice braids eloquently with hazy analog synths and notes of nostalgia as she releases heartbreak to the wind in this wistful summer track.

The buoyant production style brings warm tones to pain knotted lyrics that leaves Owen’s inside’s out, and reminds of those big loves that manage to bring you out of the woodwork, and force you to recycle grief into a lesson. It’s about blasting rejection through the car window, and driving down the freeway to reclaim your self-worth.

lyrics

You disappeared into thin air without so much as leaving a goodbye
Didn’t seem as though you cared and I was too proud to let you hear me cry
But as the dust it settles now, around the town where I gave you half my life
I see you as the sun goes down and wanna know what was going through your mind

Why’d you go convincing me
Fill my head with empty dreams
Pillow talk was poetry
Why’d you go convincing me

Spent some time deliberating, flipping through the worn out pages
Still can’t find the signs
Maybe if I didn’t need you or, better still was hard to see through
You would still be mine
Lying in the bed we’d lay in, like you never left me hanging
The sun goes down and I’m still waiting, after all this time

Why’d you go convincing me
Fill my head with empty dreams
Pillow talk was poetry
Why’d you go convincing me

We’d be together, happy forever
I would get better at making amends
You would find someone, to help with your problems, we’d put ‘em behind us
And that’d be the end

We’d be together, happy forever
I would get better at making amends
