about

Josey Marina's latest single, HEAVY, is a soulful indie-pop soundscape with a rock twist. Although staying true to her signature haunting sound, this song showcases Marina’s powerful vocals and tight, large-ensemble arrangements. Written in Thailand during the monsoon season, HEAVY leads us through dreamy images of hotel rooms and tangled telephone wires, up towards an orchestral frenzy depicting dense air and hot, violent rain.

lyrics

a beautiful cliché: memories on white sheets
the street's alive below
that's why I can't sleep

these tangled wires
carry tangled words
like my tangled veins

red lights in hot rain
heavy air on brown skin
red rooves channel hot rain
it's heavy air I'm breathing

a beautiful cliché: living in a hotel dream
I hang the words up high
so that I can sleep

these tangled wires
carry tangled words
like my tangled veins

red lights in hot rain
heavy air on brown skin
red rooves channel hot rain
it's heavy air I'm breathing
