Lydia the Bard - Afraid of Quiet (Official Music Video)

STREAM NOW - Heeeeey, thank you so much for listening to the first track from my Debut EP ’Afraid of Quiet’! I am so excited to FINALLY be sharing this body of work with you. There will be two more songs releasing as part of this EP on June 1st and June 15th so mark the dates in your diaries! This song holds a very special place in my heart as it narrates my experience with stress and anxiety, I hope it helps anyone else that may be going through the same! Come back on June 1st for the next track from my EP! Lyrics: Promise I’m fine when I’m not see my minds spinning round and around with my thoughts I’m a pot with no lid and the water is bubbling ’bout to boil over the temperatures doubling Siren alarm in the night and I can’t stop the noise ’cos I swear there’s a fire somewhere I can’t see it or hear it or smell it or taste it but what if I’m not prepared how will I face it If I could calm myself down just breath in and breath out take a second let go of control then my mind could be free But what if i drop the ball for just a moment who would pick it up, a friend or an opponent? Can’t I just calm down stop the sound take a breath and just relax but sometimes I’m afraid of quiet and what that would mean Cry a lot, fill a room with my tears I’m like Alice, except I’m the only mad one here Wish I could face what is coming but I keep on running I’m chasing the bunny Did I wake you, my noise was too loud? I’m sorry next time I’ll turn my grief down If my turmoil troubles you I can just leave and I’ll cry in another room I swear that I’m in control Or least I will be Working on regulation affirmation and therapy breath control become a better me Can’t I just calm down stop the sound take a breath and just relax but sometimes I’m afraid of quiet and what that would mean Tossing and turning The suns in the sky It’s 5am I can’t close my eyes Want to turn off Just have some peace white noise is here And I can’t sleep Tossing and turning The suns in the sky It’s 5am I can’t close my eyes Want to turn off Just have some peace white noise is here And I can’t sleep Tossing and turning The suns in the sky It’s 5am I can’t close my eyes Want to turn off Just have some peace white noise is here And I can’t sleep I swear that I’m in control or least I will be I am ruler of my mind and it will bow to me, to me But sometimes, I’m afraid of quiet and what that would- 𝘔𝘜𝘚𝘐𝘊 𝘊𝘙𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘛𝘚 Lyrics written by: Lydia the Bard Music written by: Ben Tomalin Mixed by: Jacob Monatague Mastered by: Jack Kennedy Consultants: Sophies Holmes, Maisie Fawcett, Alexander Runicles, Matthew Cook 𝘝𝘐𝘋𝘌𝘖 𝘊𝘙𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘛𝘚 Director: Alexander Runicles Director of Photography: Samuel Sutherland Lighting: Jordan White & Ali Hendry Production Assistants: Sophie Holmes, Matthew Cook & Maisie Fawcett Body Doubles: Sophie Holmes & Maisie Fawcett Follow Lydia’s social media: SPOTIFY: PATREON - DISCORD - INSTAGRAM - TWITTER - WEBSITE - TIKTOK - @lydiathebard #lydiathebard #facereveal #afraidofquiet
