lyrics

‘Be grateful’ they cry you get to live out your life, it’s all got a reason but I’m calling bullshit on that…

What’s wrong with feelin’ sad I would rather be than feel nothing real, real inside of me. I just wanna be

Well ‘get yourself a plan’ they demand of me, but what’s the point in that I’m floating lost in a galaxy

What’s wrong with feelin’ sad I would rather be than feel nothing real, real inside of me. I just wanna be

Ohhhhh ohhhhh x 2

So ‘sing your song they shout your voice will bring change about’ but I’m just another piece, another piece in their machine

What’s wrong with feelin’ sad I would rather be than feel nothing real, real inside of me. I just wanna be x 4

With thanks to The City of Sydney for granting me a 12 months artist’s residency to create this album, without which it would not have been possible. Also thank you to my son Noah for his ongoing love and support on my creative projects that sometimes turn both our worlds upside down.

Keepsake
by Hatchie

supported by 4 fans who also own “I Just Wanna Be”

The backing tracks on this album have seen serious improvement since Hatchie's debut, and the tracks have more variety. I'm not sure if there's been much improvement on the vocals, but overall this is a better (and longer!) showing from this artist. CyanStrawberry

This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s.
