about

demo track - recorded in one sitting (harmonica in holder)

lyrics

I can't look at a face
without seeing vitriol and disdain
each laugh directed at imperfection
each glance forebodes a certain doom
look both ways before entering a room
look both ways before engaging with strangers

I live my days in this negative space
cuts both ways but I see one edge of the blade

Can't look at the page
without seeing acid etched in paper
each message filled with accusation
disappointment, or holier than you
look both ways before joining conversation
look both ways before stating point of view

Look booth ways at your fellow human
the gorgon's gaze or nothing much to say
cuts both ways but I see one edge of the blade
do not assume

Don't be dismayed
the hopeful monsters find that niche someday

I didn't know if you ever cared
I couldn't tell by the things you said
and it took a while to process
how actions speak louder
look both ways before making acquaintance
look both ways before going out on limbs

Look both ways at each face of the prism
the end of days, or just turning the page
look both ways at that negative space
do not assume

Nostalgia [EP]
by Annika Jayne

supported by 5 fans who also own “look both ways (demo)”

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album. Angie Blue
