Described as the most carefree, wild and fun track on the album by Vanity herself, "Leather" is the perfect track for underground clubs looking for dark, deep electronic bass lines and pounding synths as her echoed, seductive and slightly distorted vocals glide smoothly over this slick club track. Remaining mid-tempo throughout, "Leather" hasn't got the typical song structure that builds into a soaring chorus, instead the verses are where the hardest beat lies, before moving into a light, airy chorus where Vanity almost whispers the lyrics in a confident, demanding tone.

In the song, Vanity plays the role of a money hungry businessman waiting to create the next sex symbol in music, stealing away her innocence and purity by forcing her to have sex with him, and dressing her up in provocative outfits to sell her to the public. "We see it happen all the time, every other year we see a new girl on the pop scene, all innocent and cute, but as time goes by, the clothes start to come off... sex sells as they say," Vanity reveals. "On a more serious album, this was the one that I found the most fun and enjoyable, it remains one of my favourites just because it's so bold, it's got a lot of character, and the beat is fucking immense."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"Leather"

A beauty queen before my eyes, ready to mould
A sex symbol in disguise, ready to control
I've got the key to your future
Come, leave your dignity at the door
Dirty secrets, dirty rumours
Come, drop your clothes to the floor

Cause I'm gonna dress you up, up, up
Pouring posion in your cup, cup, cup
You'll forget it ever happened
Now show me your talent
Let me see you sweat
I'm gonna make you wet

And I promise, no one's gonna look better
Let me dress you up in leather
Show me some skin, show me the real thing
Go and loosen up those strings
You're gonna find the meaning of pleasure
Once I dress you up in leather


She's a... sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, icon
And all the... boys, boys, boys, boys, boys want her
Pretty girl, let me turn you into a pretty mess
Success, rip off your flower print dress
Girl next door turned into something hardcore
Can you remember how you were before?
Before you were a dirty little whore

Cause I'm gonna dress you up, up, up
Pouring posion in your cup, cup, cup
You'll forget it ever happened
Now show me your talent
Let me see you sweat
I'm gonna make you wet

And I promise, no one's gonna look better
Let me dress you up in leather
Show me some skin, show me the real thing
Go and loosen up those strings
You're gonna find the meaning of pleasure
Once I dress you up in leather
Ooh, you're gonna feel the pressure
Once I dress you up in leather


Close your eyes, make a wish
Did you imagine it'd be like this?
Scream for me, cry for me
Strip you bare and you're a nobody
Where's your identity?
Tell me this was your destiny
Close your eyes, make a wish
Suck it up like a bitch

And I promise, no one's gonna look better
Let me dress you up in leather
Show me some skin, show me the real thing
Go and loosen up those strings
You're gonna find the meaning of pleasure
Once I dress you up in leather
Ooh, you're gonna feel the pressure
Once I dress you up in leather


Leather, leather, leather, leather
Once I dress you up in...
Leather, leather, leather, leather
I'm gonna dress you up in...
Leather, leather, leather, leather
Let me dress you up in...
Leather, leather, leather, leather

Right at the end of the track listing for Good Mourning is "Shine a Light on Me", one of the more relaxed sounding songs on the record to bring it to a close. It borderlines on ballad status, before entering the powerful chorus that will sure have fans singing along together fiercely at future Vanity concerts. Her echoed vocals flow over a strange, twitchy electronic beat mixed in with handclaps throughout the song's length, as Vanity sings about the end of her troubles, looking onto better times. Despite the deep message behind the song, Vanity made sure to keep the sound light, and still fairly cheerful, making sure the album was not going to end on a depressing note.

"This is a track I have a lot of love for," Vanity said on the song. "I actually dedicate the middle eight to Steph, who I think has pretty much saved my life more than once. When I say 'we' in that part, I picture me and her together, looking away from our past and ready to tackle whatever else the world wants to throw at us. Friendships like that really make you appreciate what you've got, and I definitely do appreciate having her in my life. If you've got a good friend or a partner that's always there for you, through absolutely everything, just like Steph is with me and I am with her, then you really need to value that. Never take something like that for granted."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"Shine a Light on Me"

They say that god puts us all to the test
Don't tell me I haven't failed
I've always wanted to be the very best
But now that ship has sailed
And I'm waiting, hoping, barely coping
That I'm gonna find the old me
I've tried to decorate it all in sugar coating
But I'm never gonna find who I used to be

Friends are rare, most people don't seem to care
There's hardly any love to share, I've looked everywhere
In search of someone to connect with
Someone who I'd never have to forgive
I've got a thousand stab wounds in my back
Waiting for the demise of the attack

Inches away from giving up, don't tell me
That the struggle wasn't worth it
My life flashed before my crying eyes
A million times I've wanted to die
Now just look at how time flies
Baby, go and put your troubles to bed
Into the day, I'm walking away from the night
Night night, now shine a light on me
Block out the darkness and lead me into the light
Light, light, shine a light on me


I'm breaking through, crashing into your arms
A thousand promises have been broken
Just handle me carefully and put me to no harm
Actions are louder than untruthful words spoken
Don't tell me that you're here for good intentions
If you're really here to finish me off
I'd surrender myself, I'm tired of this depression
Pass you the gun, now finish me off

Friends are rare, most people don't seem to care
There's hardly any love to share, I've looked everywhere
In search of someone to connect with
Someone who I'd never have to forgive
I've got a thousand stab wounds in my back
Waiting for the demise of the attack

Inches away from giving up, don't tell me
That the struggle wasn't worth it
My life flashed before my crying eyes
A million times I've wanted to die
Now just look at how time flies
Baby, go and put your troubles to bed
Into the day, I'm walking away from the night
Night night, now shine a light on me
Block out the darkness and lead me into the light
Light, light, shine a light on me


And when all else fails and fades away
Do you promise you'll be here to stay?
I asked and you promised
You've never been dishonest
What would I have done without you?
We watch the aftermath, just us two
We claimed victory
We're ready to make history

Inches away from giving up, don't tell me
That the struggle wasn't worth it
My life flashed before my crying eyes
A million times I've wanted to die
Now just look at how time flies
Baby, go and put your troubles to bed
Into the day, I'm walking away from the night
Night night, now shine a light on me
Block out the darkness and lead me into the light
Light, light, shine a light on me

With the reveal of "Place Unknown", it's not hard to notice that the final few songs on the record are evidently more relaxed and gentle (aside from "Leather"). With its dream-like, sweet synth-pop sound, "Place Unknown" is the perfect comedown song that comes straight after Vanity's loudest track, "Jesus". With its whispered intro, her soft layered vocals soon follow, accompanied by a harp and piano, blended all in nicely together with a light electronic beat behind it. In short, "Place Unknown" is the perfect Vanity track for those looking for something a little more easy on the ears.

"I wrote this song whilst imagining my current self speaking to the past naïve Miss Vanity, who finds herself used and abused from all things that fame brings. It sounds like something you'd hear in some distant land, I just wanted it to sound like you've actually slipped away into a place unknown when you listen to this and close your eyes. But of course, it's a good place instead of the hell-like one in the song."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"Place Unknown"

You only see what you want to see
You only hear what you want to hear
You only feel what you want to feel
Nothing in this world is real

Oh, she's living the dream with that beautiful smile
And she hasn't got a clue what's coming for her
Oh, she looks like a porcelain doll, got a heart of gold
But she's not really ready for the show
You're gonna find out sooner or later
This industry's a bitch and an undertaker

And when the darkness swallows up the light
Where's that star that used to burn so bright?
Come to me, run to me, I've been through it all
In my life, I've seen the very greatest fall
A masterpiece torn apart at the seams
Left picking up the pieces of broken dreams
Come to me, run to me, let me guide you home
We don't deserve to be in this place unknown


Take my hand, let me lead you out of hell
This must have been where the angels fell
I've cried, I've tried, I've nearly died
For the moment, let me be your guide
Take you to safety, I'll lead the way
Darling, this ain't no place to stay

Being anonymous is the true gift I've craved to have
Trust me, you don't want the life that I live
I used to strive to be anything but another face in the crowd
But blending in sounds pretty good to me now
Shut off the spotlight and rip up the contracts
Let me fade away into obscurity

And when the darkness swallows up the light
Where's that star that used to burn so bright?
Come to me, run to me, I've been through it all
In my life, I've seen the very greatest fall
A masterpiece torn apart at the seams
Left picking up the pieces of broken dreams
Come to me, run to me, let me guide you home
We don't deserve to be in this place unknown


Take my hand, let me lead you out of hell
This must have been where the angels fell
I've cried, I've tried, I've nearly died
For the moment, let me be your guide
Take you to safety, I'll lead the way
Darling, this ain't no place to stay

Place unknown, we're lost in a place unknown
Drained of emotions and a heart turned to stone
This is where the cold hearted and fucked up live
Baby, you don't know who you're fucking with
Place unknown, we're lost in a place unknown
In a room full of people, I still feel so alone
This is where the stars are made and broken
Are you ready for your sanity to be stolen?
Ooh, that bitch Vanity has got zero sanity

And when the darkness swallows up the light
Where's that star that used to burn so bright?
Come to me, run to me, I've been through it all
In my life, I've seen the very greatest fall
A masterpiece torn apart at the seams
Left picking up the pieces of broken dreams
Come to me, run to me, let me guide you home
We don't deserve to be in this place unknown
