about

‘Shallow’ channels the spirit of Kurt Cobain, throws in some classic Neil Young influences and marries them up with Little Lore’s trademark vocals and thought-provoking lyrics to produce an exhilarating slice of Americana that really swings.

The tune was written that busy news week when Boris Johnson was defusing his involvement in illegal parties during the pandemic lock downs and Prince Andrew was negotiating a way to avoid appearing in court. I thought about all the men in positions of power that let us down. Whether they be politicians, princes, CEOs or even a lover. This song was the result of juxtaposing those themes with the feeling of heartbreak.

lyrics

Walked beside me
The coward with the strong arm
And plenty of charm

Fooled us all
We ate the lies for dinner
Every word a winner

See him clearly now
His love was shallow
Made me feel like singing
I gave him my dreams
In the beginning

Spinning stories
Retrofit a truth that works
Whoever it hurts

Tune me out
Leave me alone and crying
While he denies lying

See him clearly now
His love was shallow
He made us feel like flying
We gave him our hope
Now we’re dying

There’s no truth
No one remembers who said what
To the man on the yacht

The king is dead
With his head, futures altered
Wounds are salted

See him clearly now
His love was shallow
I felt like believing
I gave him my heart
Now I’m grieving
