All I want is my soft warm bed Curl up with you with my hands on your head I can’t remember what we last said I unravel when you pull at the thread He says, he’ll take me home Alone He says, he’ll take me home Alone Somewhere in space there’s a star being born Nothing but dust and a desire to form One day our bodies will return to the dirt Nothing but dust and a desire to hurt He says, he’ll take me home Alone He says, he’ll take me home Alone Somewhere in space there’s a star being born Somewhere in space there’s a star being born (He says he’ll take me home) Somewhere in space there’s a star being born (He says he’ll take me home) Nothing but dust and a desire to form (He says he’ll take me home) Somewhere in space there’s a star being born (He says he’ll take me home) Nothing but dust and a desire to form

You never step in the same river twice Different water, different life Washing your feet like a holy wife Different daughter, different life Where is the gap where the roses grow And the sun breaks thru to the earth below? When a love is lost, where does it go? You don’t know You’ll never be the same child again Different lifetime, different pain Growing old driving me insane… Where is the gap where the roses grow And the sun breaks thru to the earth below? When a love is lost, where does it go? You don’t know You don’t know Where is the gap where the roses grow And the sun breaks thru to the earth below? When a love is lost, where does it go? You don’t know

You try to show me the stars in the sky Furrow my brow and focus my eyes Do you see now, it’s right up above I say I do because they tell me that’s love You try to show me a side of myself But all I see is a stranger girl The mirror leads to another world I step into because they tell me that’s love I can’t see what you want me to see So I pretend, I pretend I’ll never be what you want me to be But I pretend, I pretend I never pick a blooming rose I’d rather leave her to grow as she knows Give me a handful of dying buds I Know you do it cut they tell you that’s love I always had ambitious dreams My desire was bigger than me Shrink myself to the smallest one I sacrifice and then they tell me that’s love I can’t see what you want me to see So I pretend, I pretend I’ll never be what you want me to be But I pretend, I pretend I can’t see what you want me to see So I pretend, I pretend I’ll never be what you want me to be But I pretend, I pretend

about

Honey Gentry is an independent artist from London, UK. Creating baroque pop for introverts, Honey’s work explores themes including escapism, dreams, and mythology. Entirely self-produced and recorded from the comfort of her bedroom, the artist manages to capture a free, honest and totally personal experience with her DIY, homemade music.

Finding influence in the likes of artists such as Mazzy Star, Tori Amos and Lana Del Rey, Honey is inspired by musicians who would turn deeply personal and private experiences of teenage girlhood and young womanhood, into something intensely human and real.

Her new three-track EP, Different Water, sonically shimmers with dreamy, echoing synths, layered vocals and delicate piano melodies, delivering an overall celestial quality. Throughout the EP, listeners will find Space as a common theme with Honey confiding, “I think because that’s my preferred method of looking outward rather than inward; forwards instead of backwards.” This is evident in “Nebula” where Honey sings, “Somewhere in space there’s a star being born / Nothing but dust and a desire to form.” Described as some of her favourite lyrics on the EP, the songwriter explains, “It’s all been said before but when you really think about the enormity and complexity of the universe we live in it puts small problems into perspective but also, lends life its profound meaning.”
