...Because I was born a girl
“Doors were closed, ceilings felt heavy, questions were not asked, opportunities were lost – a million battles have been fought because I was born a girl” – ‘…Because I Was Born A Girl’ This lyrical extract from Camille Delaquise’s anthemic single ‘…Because I Was Born A Girl’ from her 2020 debut EP Living In A World Of Silence.
Angelic Celtic folk, alternative chamber music, and indie pop with strong hints of medieval hues anchors Camille Delaquise in a folk-soundscape that twinkles and bursts forth with an almost fairytale charm.
At other junctures, haunting pianos and fierce vocals carry ‘Living In A World Of Silence’ into dark, foreboding territory that is strangely alluring. SCENESTR.
“‘A Little Gypsy Song’ came about as I was writing my second book of poetry and decided to turn some of my poems into lyrics (a natural enough progression),” Camille says.
A LITTLE GYPSY SONG
Song Four (The Romance is Over)
I have no fairytales to tell you
Words flooding the page
The ruin laid bare; there is no hiding
The hunger it grows
Searching streams of a daydream
Beneath the shattered hope of yesterday
Is this too much of a burden for you?
I sing to an empty room
And you don’t love me anymore
Truth spilling out
No fairytales to tell you
Illuminating the fracture between
It came in a dream
Light breaking between
I lay it all down
No escape, just release
In the quiet of the night
Thoughts scatter
Forming shadows
Dancing on the walls
And you don’t love me anymore
Truth spilling out
No fairytales to tell you
Illuminating the fracture between
I sit notebook by my side
Waking with poetry on my lips
There is no other place I’d rather be
Unravelling wonderland
Every step counts
All that you know
Coming together
Finding a way through
And you don’t love me anymore
Truth spilling out
No fairytales to tell you
Illuminating the fracture between
The romance is over
Blossoming Again
Some wish for continuous sunshine
I just want some shade
Both whisper the allure of escape
You don’t feel broken in a new dress
This ain’t my first heartbreak
Won’t you leave me just one little piece
This is my life
I’m gonna take it back
Watching leaves turn and fall
The dark before the dawn
Transformed, shedding the old
Winter holds her own majesty
Even when memories overstay
Playing on repeat
No shelter from the storm
The winds will change
This ain’t my first heartbreak
Won’t you leave me just one little piece
This is my life
I’m gonna take it back
Sitting at my desk morning breaks the spell
Tending the forgotten garden
Blossoming again
A butterfly takes to the sky
Tears have fallen
Rage paid a visit
Hate faded away
Love endured it all
In the end, this life is mine
It belongs to me
Pocket Note For The Dark Days
Somedays we just need to know
There are kinder days to come
Even when the sweet words of a lullaby
Have lost their harmony
Let them crash over you
Breaking for the new
Fall, get up again
Fall, get up again
Just breathe
Just breathe
There are times of trouble
That is true
But that is not all we have to offer
Here for you
Here for you
Take your time
Fall, get up again
Fall, get up again
Just breathe
Just breathe
Everything comes to pass
Step back and take it slow
Joy is not to be denied
Remember how far you have come
On less then you have now
There is so much more beauty to be found
Fall, get up again
Fall, get up again
Just breathe
Just breathe
