For Once 03:01
For once I have time and that time is for me You’ve always been so kind but we’re made of different seeds You’ve tried to tell me how for I’m not that easy Therefore by your side I’ve always learned to go and fight Somehow in your arms I’ve grown And I’m growing now Yes I’ve grown For once I have the time to seek for my own ways Not to root and not to rise it is my current wish Today I realize that I’m made out of dreams Although I’ve been blind Not to hear your wise advice I know that I’m a child But I’ve grown And I’m growing now Yes I’ve grown Hear me out I know that You did your best Now you must leave the rest Up to me Therefore by your side I’ve always learned to go and fight Somehow In your arms I’ve grown And I’m growing now Yes I’ve grown I’m growing for once

People in the sea They drive me crazy Why can’t I be alone with the moon When I’m walking I just need some air To breathe my solitude I just need some space For my uncertainty Cars and buses, barking dogs And wild horns I’m getting mad oh honey, I wanna get out of town on my horse I just need some air To breathe my solitude I just need some space For my uncertainty Mhhh x2 I’m gonna run, run, run far away

Piel 03:03
Quatro horas, veinte montes Dos miradas sin hablarse Vamos llevando el silencio De tu ausencia lejana, lejana Un solo rio y trece bosques Como lágrimas en las paredes Dibujando el anhelo De tus brazos tactiles, tactiles Y tu te iras, mientras me quedo Cuantos dias, ni un solo sueño Y tu te iras, mientras me quedo Sin tu piel cosquillosa, tus ojos enamorados Tres noches, un amanecer Jugar a que hoy éramos ayer Realidad o fantasía Un engaño de niña, de niña Y tu te iras, mientras me quedo Cuantos dias, ni un solo sueño Y tu te iras, mientras me quedo Sin tu piel cosquillosa, tu ojos enamorados Ahí va la impazienza Ahí va el apego Ahí van todas las dudas Ahí va la incertidumbre Ahí van los miles de pasos Ahí va yo dando vuelta’ Y tu te iras, mientras me quedo Cuantos dias, ni un solo sueño Y tu te iras, mientras me quedo Sin tu piel cosquillosa, tus ojos, tus ojos, tus ojos…

Josephine 03:51
Josephine she has this thing Always called the beauty queen She always seems to me Like that heavy dream She’s the spine in your back No red roses for her Like a smile in the rain But nobody sees her She’s just a body to seize Another story, a fling Josephine she’s always been That girl in between She’s never had “relationthings” Nothing more than flesh and skin She’s the spine in your back No red roses for her Like a smile in the rain But nobody sees her She’s just a body to seize Another story, a fling She’s just a body to seize She’s just a body to seize Another story, a fling She’s just a body

24 03:20
Twenty four years and twenty four hours Waiting for a sign Waiting for an answer Would you call me daughter ? May I call you father ? Twenty four seconds in every last minute But i lost patience And trust in your promises Would you call me daughter ? May I call you father ? No I cannot tell oh why I ever believed Cause I wouldn’t bet on your feelings Are On your feelings Are off Your feelings Are on and on and off But maybe just one day Twenty four hours On my 24th birthday Would you call me daughter ? May I call you father? Would you call me daughter ? May I call you ?

about

Splashing onto the music scene with her debut EP Agua (2022) filled with organic tones and a certain aquatic approach. Mélys's new EP; For Once, has an indie folk touch to it and even leans towards sounds with a rock feel to them.

This EP speaks on relationships: connection with family, friends, lovers, sounds, and even to oneself. The act of giving, receiving and the depth of thosenbonds forged along the journeys of life.

For Once features 5 tracks, revealing a little of these relationships. A father, a mother, a lover. Listeners may get lost in the dichotomies of the music and left to wonder... what’s real and what's not?
Discover the space between town and city, folk and rock, English and Spanish, love and anger, and the melancholy of yesterday and a longing for tomorrow.
