Ryan: As previously stated, I thought this was going to be an ode to Eric Clapton's version of "I Shot the Sheriff." But despite not being that, I do very much prefer the sonic atmosphere on this track, than I did the first half of the record. But when did my loving girlfriend turn into Glamazon? I've said it before, British bitches be crazy.

Deeper into the second half of the record comes the atmospheric "Distance" at track eight, the song that Nadia calls the "most honest" on the entire record. As one of the slowest songs on the album, you could call it a ballad, but not of the typical stripped back piano-only types. With a dreamy, melodic backing beat that go hand-in-hand with Nadia's delicate, emotional vocals that echo during certain parts of the song, "Distance" has that moving, spine-tingling feel to it that is sure to become one of the most memorable songs on the record. At times, you could even expect Nadia to break down into tears mid-song, but it only shows that her vocal delivery is certainly real, and her not putting on any act to convince the listener. She's easily seen at her most vulnerable here, revealing all about the struggles of having to deal with a long-distance relationship for many months.

Nadia: "I don't really know what to say about this song, it speaks for itself. I feel that anyone who has to be without their loved one for a lengthy period of time can relate to this song, and they'll know it's definitely a painful experience to go through. This is without a doubt the most honest and upfront song on the record, I didn't hold back and I was scared to put something like this out there, I don't like giving too much away, but I was too drawn to this song to hide it away. Either way, I hope I made the right decision and that people who have been in the same situation as me can relate and find comfort in this song."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"Distance"

Some people don't know how hard it is to cope
When you're after something, someone so bad
The extremes that I'd go to just to get what I want
Yeah, you'd say I'm out of my mind if I told you
Only few will ever be able to relate
To the way I'm feeling each and every night
When I reach out, I get reminded you're not there
But I fool myself each time I turn out the lights
And I touch myself, pretending that you're in sight

Whisper to me, it's like I hear it
Reach out for me, it's like I feel it
When my heart connects to yours
Suddenly, you're not so far away

You're in my head, and it's you I'm wanting
It's like you're a ghost, and it's me you're haunting
Cause I see you all the time in my dreams
Who knew feelings could be felt at such extremes?
When I'm wide awake, early morning
All I can think of is you, yeah, I'm longing
To be next to you, here with you


The closer we become, the more it hurts
Whenever I'm alone, and it's impossible to see you
The only thing I can do is cling to your words
Looking out the window as if you're in my view
When I wake, I hope that you're gonna be there
Deep down, I know I'm a foolish dreamer
But it soothes me to imagine you here
And so I've gotta continue to be a believer
Before I run off the edge of my mind
Yeah, before I fall off the edge of my mind

Oh, I'm falling off the edge of my mind, I'm slipping
I'm going crazy, heart rate increasing, sweat dripping
A beautiful illusion in my sight to help me tonight
And for just this moment, it's all feeling so right

Whisper to me, it's like I hear it
Reach out for me, it's like I feel it
When my heart connects to yours
Suddenly, you're not so far away

You're in my head, and it's you I'm wanting
It's like you're a ghost, and it's me you're haunting
Cause I see you all the time in my dreams
Who knew feelings could be felt at such extremes?
When I'm wide awake, early morning
All I can think of is you, yeah, I'm longing
To be next to you, here with you


I see you for a moment, I kiss you, then you fade away
Like a mirage in view, then suddenly no longer on display
The things I see just to help myself get by
Your breath on my skin, I tell myself white lies
Cause if I believe it for a second, then I'll remember
What it's like when me and you are together

Whisper to me, it's like I hear it
Reach out for me, it's like I feel it
When my heart connects to yours
Suddenly, you're not so far away

You're in my head, and it's you I'm wanting
It's like you're a ghost, and it's me you're haunting
Cause I see you all the time in my dreams
Who knew feelings could be felt at such extremes?
When I'm wide awake, early morning
All I can think of is you, yeah, I'm longing
To be next to you, here with you


And I'm oh so close, but you're so, so far
Yeah, I'm oh so close, but you're so, so far...

Genre: Electro-pop
Label: Chaos Records
Writers: Nadia Berry, Marina Diamandis, Ryan McMahon, Ryan Rabin
Producers: Ryan McMahon, Ryan Rabin

"Somebody Like Me" is one of the more pop-sounding tracks on the second half of the record, mixed in with some of the electronic influences that were heard on the earlier few songs on Hera. The song is technically a cover of "Lonely Hearts Club" by Marina and the Diamonds, but Nadia puts her own twist on the majority of the lyrics. With heavy synths mixed in with more delicate piano notes and haunting vocals in the chorus, "Somebody Like Me" shows just how versatile Nadia's vocals are, no matter what style of song she takes on. Lyrically dealing with the questions and doubts that come with a relationship, the song shows there's more to the album than the fun, summery tunes. The song precedes the final three songs on the record that differ from the rest, having a more indie feel to them.

Nadia: "I had actually started this song a while ago during the Open Heart Surgery sessions, but I've changed absolutely everything about it now and incorporated it into "Lonely Hearts Club" to get the final song you're hearing now, I just thought it was a song that went perfectly with the meaning of my own lyrics. I wanted to show people that I can do fun pop, and I can also do serious pop that has a brain, and this is one of those songs to try and show that. The message behind it is simple though, questioning and doubting love, wondering if you're good enough for the other person. It's a bittersweet relationship with the thought of being lonely, half of you wants it to happen, just so you no longer have to ask yourself those things, but the other half is scared of being without the other person."

SOUNDS LIKE:


"Somebody Like Me"

At times, I've wanted to swap places with the lonely
Love can feel like carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders
Cause we're all striving to become someone's one and only
And we're all scared of the day that it's over
I've wondered, worried if you're really satisfied
Are you putting on a brave face to cover up your misery?
Thought how one day you may just wake up and decide
That you just no longer wanna be with me

Yeah, don't leave me out in the dark, out in the cold
Just think about how we could be, a real story to be told
But it's true, not everyone is meant to be together
Love will never be forever, feelings are just like the weather
January to December, do you want to be a member?

Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?


And I do everything I can to bring you all the happiness
But sometimes everything just isn't enough
Studied my attractiveness, drowning in my unworthiness
Maybe you'll decide it's time when things grow tough
Cause it's not easy fighting through the battles
And sometimes it's easier just to give it all up
Sometimes you can be hurt so much and become so fragile
That you're just no longer able to cover it all up

Yeah, don't leave me out in the dark, out in the cold
Just think about how we could be, a real story to be told
But it's true, not everyone is meant to be together
Love will never be forever, feelings are just like the weather
January to December, do you want to be a member?

Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?


Somebody like me...
Somebody like me...
Somebody like me...

We all dream of things we desire when we close our eyes
But that doesn't mean we're ever gonna get it
We silence ourselves too many times and paint on a disguise
But that doesn't mean we're ever gonna forget it
A true love seems to be the hardest thing to find
That's what we're all looking for, it's a race against time

Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?

Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Do you want to be with somebody like me?
Lonely hearts club...
Do you want to be with somebody like me?

Genre: Indie rock
Label: Chaos Records
Writers: Nadia Berry
Producers: Joseph Mosé, Nadia Berry

"We'll Break Time" takes on a more indie rock sound in comparison to the majority of electronic/pop influenced songs on Hera, and marks a shift away from that as the album comes close to its end. However, it keeps the uplifting, feel good vibe to the record, and sounds like the perfect song to sing aloud to with the rooftop down on a sunny day. It's one of the songs on the album where Nadia sounds like she hasn't got a care in the world, singing along happily to a backing of a steady drum beat, bass and a church organ, before a wall of guitars swoop in for the catchy chorus. Nadia sounds playful and full of joy throughout, before everything drops out and she sweetly sings the outro. The subject of doubts in a relationship come back into play here, but this time, Nadia's the one to remain positive, contrasting with "Somebody Like Me".

Nadia: "This has to be my favourite song on the record, just because it never fails to make me just wanna rock out and sing along to it whenever it comes on, and that's the exact mood I wanted to put people in. There's a sweet, positive message behind it, and I think it shows a lot of growth in comparison to my earlier material. People seem to love to predict how long a relationship will last, and I think there's no need for that at all, that's why I wrote this. You don't get together knowing what the expiry date of a relationship is beforehand, that's not what it's about."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"We'll Break Time"


When you turn around, it's gonna be me you find
I'll be the road to guide you if you're blind
I'm the shadow behind you when you walk
Me and you, we'll break time
An open hand for you to take when you struggle
An open heart for you to clear all your troubles
And when it's a race against the clock
Together, we'll break time

Don't tell me that forever is impossible
Love makes us crazy, and maybe it's possible
That we can go the extra mile
And our time together will never expire

When it strikes midnight, you're waiting for the inevitable
I bet you're thinking that we were so close to having it all
When you think of me and your heart starts beating fast
When you think of me and you're scared if we're gonna last
When you think we're almost over, and you're about to draw the line
Then clear your doubts and blink twice, we'll break time
When there's one second left, I'm gonna give you a thousand more
When it's close to the end, I'll make you feel better than before
When your mind's going crazy, I'm gonna calm you down just fine
Yeah, just give me trust, we'll break time


I'll be your kick-start in the AM
Be the one to push you across the finish line
I'll be the protection from all your danger
You can call me your personal saviour
Cause together, we'll break time
Open arms to pull you up when you're slipping
The call from a distance to make you smile
And when you think we've only got one minute
Yeah together, we'll break time

A heroine next to her hero
Doubt it, and I'll say watch me fly
That timer is never going to hit zero
When I'm by your side…

When it strikes midnight, you're waiting for the inevitable
I bet you're thinking that we were so close to having it all
When you think of me and your heart starts beating fast
When you think of me and you're scared if we're gonna last
When you think we're almost over, and you're about to draw the line
Then clear your doubts and blink twice, we'll break time
When there's one second left, I'm gonna give you a thousand more
When it's close to the end, I'll make you feel better than before
When your mind's going crazy, I'm gonna calm you down just fine
Yeah, just give me trust, we'll break time


Love makes us do stupid things, but how great it feels
When time's back in our hands, and it feels so real
To be back in each others arms, and I've waited so long
For the distance between us to suddenly be gone

Yeah, I would fight so hard for you, I'd defy what's human
They say only angels can protect and guide you
Well here I am, watch me, I'm right behind you
I would go so hard for you that time would be useless
Would be useless, it would mean nothing to you and I
Cause together, we could break time

When it strikes midnight, you're waiting for the inevitable
I bet you're thinking that we were so close to having it all
When you think of me and your heart starts beating fast
When you think of me and you're scared if we're gonna last
When you think we're almost over, and you're about to draw the line
Then clear your doubts and blink twice, we'll break time
When there's one second left, I'm gonna give you a thousand more
When it's close to the end, I'll make you feel better than before
When your mind's going crazy, I'm gonna calm you down just fine
Yeah, just give me trust, we'll break time


People might not think it, even we don't believe it
But put us to test, and I bet we'll achieve it
Cause it's timeless…
Yeah, we keep breaking time
Oh yeah, it's timeless…
Yeah, you and I
We break time…

Cassie: There used to be a time when I thought of you as quite stuck up..and I would never have listened to your music. But in the last few weeks, since I got with Katie, I've had the chance to get to know you and stuff, and I was wrong all along. You're lovely. As are all your songs. Katie plays your music all the time, so I've had a great chance to get to know it all really! And I really like it. As much as your last album was great though, I can tell how much you've grown into this one. It really is great. Records On is one of my favourites of all time. It makes me just want to cuddle up with someone and put on some music. You really are killing it :)

Ryan: I should dislike Somebody Like Me, because the song is all electro-pop and we all know electronic music makes me fist-pump, be it a happy or sad song. But with the case of this song, it's just so fucking catchy. I won't call it a guilty pleasure because it is meant to be a pleasure, it is meant to catch the ears of anyone who listens. I really liked that song a lot. And I love your brand of rock tunes too, so I have a soft spot for We'll Break Time too.

Despite the title of the track, "Dance Off the Tears" is certainly no dance track. In fact, it's lyrically one of the saddest songs on the record, the lyrics giving a good hint that the girl she talks about is the past version of herself. The song opens with low, rumbling synths that straight away give the song a dark, atmospheric feel, before Nadia's gentle vocals come in over the top, a hint of sadness to her voice. It's a lot slower and more dramatic in sound compared to the rest of the album, and fits perfectly just one track before the end of the standard edition of the record. There's a minimalistic feel throughout the song, the synths leading the track along solely, before half-way through, screeching guitars and subtle drums are added to the mix.

Nadia: "I thought it was important to write honest songs for this album, to just write what I feel, even if it was a cheesy love song, a summer dance song, or something more along the lines of this. This was a song I wrote a while back, reflecting on my past during the early GirlSpice days when I was going off the rails. It's a bittersweet song, it's sad to remember those things, but it's also good to know that I'm past all of that and have a much better life now. I didn't want these final few songs on the album to be too complicated in sound, and so they're quite simple so that the lyrics were able to shine most. Lyrically, this is probably one that would suit best on my previous album."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"Dance Off the Tears"


Lost cause in the corner with a handful of pills
Sipping on a water bottle full of vodka
She's crying cause she doesn't like how reality feels
Intoxicated while she sways to the sounds of Nirvana
Oh, maybe the pressure's just too much to handle?
She wishes she was just that little bit stronger
Oh, she never wanted to end up as another example
Of those of those famous girls who just can't take it any longer

Her favourite albums lay by her side
Next to the alcohol and blonde hair dye
She likes to mask her true identity
Just to find her own idea of serenity
Lays there alone, fighting off her fears
Tells herself she'll dance off the tears
Music runs through her fragile little veins
Singing those songs to try and numb the pain
Hoping it'll all go away-ay-ay-ay


She's a train that's running off the tracks
Making stories to fill the newspaper racks
The higher they climb, the harder they fall
Now where's that girl who used to have it all?
A star that used to burn so bright
Now like a firefly that lost its light
All she can do is cry herself to sleep at night
And in her dreams, she always loses the fight

Diagnose her with something she doesn't understand
Remember when everyone said she had the world in the palm of her hand?
And it's all just a constant battle
Dreaming of the day she gets taken to the chapel

Her favourite albums lay by her side
Next to the alcohol and blonde hair dye
She likes to mask her true identity
Just to find her own idea of serenity
Lays there alone, fighting off her fears
Tells herself she'll dance off the tears
Music runs through her fragile little veins
Singing those songs to try and numb the pain
Hoping it'll all go away-ay-ay-ay


Away-ay-ay-ay-ay
She hopes to see better days
And everyone tells her she's gonna be okay
But she doesn't know if she's ever gonna find her way
She's lost and looking for a home
A wanderer in the darkness, heart made of stone
And she's standing out in the rain
Hoping it'll wash away all the pain

Her favourite albums lay by her side
Next to the alcohol and blonde hair dye
She likes to mask her true identity
Just to find her own idea of serenity
Lays there alone, fighting off her fears
Tells herself she'll dance off the tears
Music runs through her fragile little veins
Singing those songs to try and numb the pain
Hoping it'll all go away-ay-ay-ay

"Waiting Game" is a beautiful end to the standard edition of Hera, it's almost therapeutic after the louder, electro-tinged songs that dominte the first half of the album, ending on a relaxed, peaceful note. The track clearly shows Nadia's growth as an artist, written by herself like the rest of the album, as well as solely contributing for the guitar in the track. It's clear that those lessons have been paying off, and although the chords are kept simple, she pulls it off well, suiting the gloomy nature of the track. If this is anything to go by, it's safe to say that there's a lot of potential in Nadia's future if she keeps practicing. Her vocals sound most at ease here, remaining soft throughout, while she hums in the background, giving the song a slightly haunting feel to it.

Nadia: "This has to be another favourites of mine, mainly because I feel like it's my baby after I contributed so much to it. It's the one song I'd play to people if they asked me to play them a more stripped back song of mine, because this is really the most organic track that I've done to date. There's a slight folk feel to it, it's so simple, but that's exactly what I wanted, it didn't need anything else. It differs nicely from the rest of the album, and I'm really proud of it, so I hope this song can win me over some new fans. We all have dreams and ambitions, and we all wait for our big break to come, which is what really inspired this song. What happens if whatever you're waiting for just never comes? You play the waiting game for so long that it just makes your life feel so meaningless, because that one thing you're after just never comes to you."

SOUNDS SIMILAR TO:


"Waiting Game"


Life is so monotone, there's never a happy ending
We just smile and like to carry on pretending
That there's still hope, and ain't it a shame
That we're all still searching for an escape from the pain
All that's left are feelings of hope, and it's such a waste
Grabbed the world by its horns, but you don't like the taste
Of the sickly bitterness, it's all that's left behind
But we've all gotta have a little more faith in mankind
Cause it's true, everybodies feeling the same
We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game


And I'm still counting, forever doubting
Yeah, I carry on counting sheep in my sleep
Still anticipating, spent an eternity waiting
The numbers grow, and I've still got nothing to show

Come and give me news to brighten up my day
We've all gotta live in the most optimistic way
Otherwise what's the purpose of living?
We've all got a piece in our heart that's still missing
Crying at night, and ain't it a shame
We're still playing the waiting game, waiting game

Numbers growing, and the pain's showing
Tears down my face to cover up my fears
Always anticipating, spent forever waiting
No more numbers for me to count, and I've still got my doubts

It's like groundhog day, everyday seems to be the same
What's a life when you make nothing of your name?
And eventually it'll be too late, and won't it be a shame
When you realise your feelings of hope were such a waste
Grabbed the world by its horns, but you don't like the taste
Of the sickly bitterness, it's all that's left behind
But we've all gotta have a little more faith in mankind
Cause it's true, everybodies feeling the same
We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game


I wish life was just a little more unpredictable
Everyone's just a little too cynicle
But I guess it's with good reason, people are bitches
And friends eventually turn into backstabbing snitches
It'll be a miracle, but we've all just gotta believe
That there's still something that this world can achieve
Look up at the stars, and ain't it a shame
We're still playing the waiting game, waiting game

We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game
We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game
We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game
We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game

Life is so monotone, there's never a happy ending
We just smile and like to carry on pretending
That there's still hope, and ain't it a shame
That we're all still searching for an escape from the pain
All that's left are feelings of hope, and it's such a waste
Grabbed the world by its horns, but you don't like the taste
Of the sickly bitterness, it's all that's left behind
But we've all gotta have a little more faith in mankind
Cause it's true, everybodies feeling the same
We're all just playing the waiting game, waiting game


It's like groundhog day, everyday seems to be the same

Katie: Why? Why do you always make songs that seem to relate in my mind so much? I think that's the true beauty of what you manage to do Nadia. You manage to make music that people feel really close to. Music that is real and that people can link into their own life. Dance off the Tears basically reminds me of the time when I was going through some really difficult moments in my life, and I shed a little tear when I was reading it. Easily my favourite song on the album, and now I just want to come and give you a big hug :)

OOC: Marvellous. I love the lyrics for both of these songs. Dance off the Tears is really really good though. God knows where you churn all of these lyrics out from :P Well jel as they say :)

You lay your head to rest in a bed full of thorns
In the heat of the moment, every devil has its horns
Ripped off your wings one feather at a time
And covered up the evidence like a criminal comitting a crime
Time's running out, you can hear the sirens coming for you
And it's just too much to expect a man like you to be true

Called you out, now you're falling down
Everyone looked up to you, now you're a waste of space
Remember when the world was your oyster?
Now you cry yourself to sleep cause you lost it all
You're sorry for betraying my trust
And I'm not sorry for ruining your life

That man had the world, made something of himself
Then he threw it all away, a shadow of his former self
Wallowing in his own self pity, given up the will to try
Now I'm stood watching a grown man cry
Took a lifetime for him to earn it all
Now he's just the man who lost it all


Rip up your roses, and your poison pen letters
I promise, I'm gonna find someone better
Believe it, your love doesn't define me
When you look, you ain't gonna find me
Everything you took, you took what was left of me
Don't deny it, you were never really there for me

Called you out, now you're falling down
Everyone looked up to you, now you're a waste of space
Remember when the world was your oyster?
Now you cry yourself to sleep cause you lost it all
You're sorry for betraying my trust
And I'm not sorry for ruining your life

That man had the world, made something of himself
Then he threw it all away, a shadow of his former self
Wallowing in his own self pity, given up the will to try
Now I'm stood watching a grown man cry
Took a lifetime for him to earn it all
Now he's just the man who lost it all


What does commitment mean? Does faith still exist?
It seems like too many people just can't resist
Scrub your skin, but you'll never be clean
Your name's forever tainted on a front page magazine
And now the romance is dead, woah, oh, oh
The romance is dead, woah, oh, oh

Let's watch the L-O-V-E burn
Romance is D-E-A-D, ashes in the urn
Let's watch the L-O-V-E burn
Romance is D-E-A-D, ashes in the urn

That man had the world, made something of himself
Then he threw it all away, a shadow of his former self
Wallowing in his own self pity, given up the will to try
Now I'm stood watching a grown man cry
Took a lifetime for him to earn it all
Now he's just the man who lost it all

Standing side by side, we hear summer calling
When the sun hides, we'll start to see the leaves falling
Wishing that we could be frozen forever in a day like today
We'll bask in the warmth as if everyday's a holiday
Lay out under the stars as the days grow longer
Standing side by side, we continue to grow stronger

Live every moment as if it were our last
On a day like this, we're not thinking of our past
Never looking back, yeah, we're looking ahead
Living life how we want to instead

Before you, I never believed in the afterlife
But seeing as life's so short, I just want all the time
All the time in the world, to watch us blossom like it's spingtime
Before you, I never believed in the afterlife
But seeing as life's so short, I just want all the time
All the time in the world, to watch us blossom like it's spingtime


When we're together, that's when the sun comes out
Don't hide in the shadows, let me clear your doubt
Hand in hand, come and take a walk with me
I'm gonna be the one to make you see
Everything that's good about you
Yeah, I'm gonna make you feel brand new

Live every moment as if it were our last
On a day like this, we're not thinking of our past
Never looking back, yeah, we're looking ahead
Living life how we want to instead

Before you, I never believed in the afterlife
But seeing as life's so short, I just want all the time
All the time in the world, to watch us blossom like it's spingtime
Before you, I never believed in the afterlife
But seeing as life's so short, I just want all the time
All the time in the world, to watch us blossom like it's spingtime


If everything dies in the winter
Don't tell me all we'll ever be is a spring romance
That blossoms into beauty, then withers slowly
That carries on until warm days turn cold
That doesn't make it through the seasons
That dies and never resurrects

Before you, I never believed in the afterlife
But seeing as life's so short, I just want all the time
All the time in the world, to watch us blossom like it's spingtime
Before you, I never believed in the afterlife
But seeing as life's so short, I just want all the time
All the time in the world, to watch us blossom like it's spingtime

Is this what life is all about?
I feel like I've missed out on too much
Been wearing a smile these days for far too long
I was told nothing lasts forever, so tell me how long will it be
Until I'm taken back to all the misery?
Times like these are priceless
And if my heart breaks tomorrow
I'll still have the memories to hold onto

Don't tell me to look on the bright side
Where'd that get me before?
Look on the dark side and search for the light
You'll appreciate it all so much more
Once I've fought my way into your arms
I'll cling to you for dear life, breathe you in
Don't tell me this is where heartbreak begins

So even if the worst is yet to come
Even once the pain you caused can't be undone
I'll still have the memories, memories
And you can't take that away from me
So even if the worst is yet to come
Once the bullet fires from the gun
Try my best to stop crying, crying
Were we always slowly dying, dying?


Don't tell me, I already know
That the worst is yet to come
Don't tell me, I already know
That the worst is yet to come

I've been lying in the center of paradise
Living like this doesn't last for long, I know
Let's just take the time to enjoy it while it lasts
If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently
I don't think I could take another crash landing
But if you're gonna break my heart, break it nice and slow
Let me hold onto all the good times we had

Don't tell me to look on the bright side
Where'd that get me before?
Look on the dark side and search for the light
You'll appreciate it all so much more
Once I've fought my way into your arms
I'll cling to you for dear life, breathe you in
Don't tell me this is where heartbreak begins

So even if the worst is yet to come
Even once the pain you caused can't be undone
I'll still have the memories, memories
And you can't take that away from me
So even if the worst is yet to come
Once the bullet fires from the gun
Try my best to stop crying, crying
Were we always slowly dying, dying?


I was a risktaker, waiting to see if it paid off
I guess we'll find out sooner or later
I never learned from my mistakes before
But I'm willing to make another
I promise, I'll love you like no other
But if our time has come, let me go gently
What could have been would have been
Something so, so sweet

(x2)
Don't tell me, I already know
That the worst is yet to come
Don't tell me, I already know
That the worst is yet to come

So even if the worst is yet to come
Even once the pain you caused can't be undone
I'll still have the memories, memories
And you can't take that away from me
So even if the worst is yet to come
Once the bullet fires from the gun
Try my best to stop crying, crying
Were we always slowly dying, dying?

Ryan: I don't think there is anyone else in the industry who can touch upon indie, pop, and electronic music on a single album and just make it so successfully, without ever losing a beat or feeling misplaced. If I was looking to spar, I couldn't ask for better competition than this record. I don't think people anything but another incredible Nadia Berry, and that's exactly what we got.

Katie: Every day...in every way I look up to this girl. As a musician, as a friend and as a sister, and when she does stuff like this it makes me feel all warm inside to know that I know her. You are a big inspiration to me Nadia and this album shows why once again. Its perfect in every way. No one makes music quite like you. You manage to fuse so many styles, so many emotions and so many brilliant songs into one to make something that is just...fantastic. The brightest shining star in the world. I loved it.

Ryan W: This is a record. Sorry, this is a mother fucking record. Apologies for the language folks, but it's the only way to really describe how great this album is. You really can do any type of music, Nadia.. it's incredible. The electronic/indie approach to this record is fascinating, and I can't stop my head from nodding or my feet from tapping. Any electronic musicians out there, take note, this is how you create a record.

OOC: Amazing work on this album. I think it is probably my favorite one ive read during my time on this site.
