SOMI: Last Song

Somi - Last song

If this were my last song
Would you listen closer?
If this were my last song
Would you lean in?
If this were my last song
Would you hum along?
If this were my last song
Would you try to remember everything?

The shape of my neck, everything
The size of my breasts, everything

The things you dislike, everything
My ego, my pride, everything
The sound of my scream, everything
The breath in between everything
The first song before everything

If this were my last song
I might just sing louder
If this were my last song
I would ask the band to slow it down
If this were my last song
We’d sing harmonies
If this were my last song
I would try to tell you everything

The times that I lied, everything
The days that I cried, everything
The lovers I knew, everything
My hungry nights too, everything
My grandmothers brave, everything
The last time I prayed, everything
The first song before everything

If this were my last song
If this were my last song
I’d thank the room,
The air and hearts around me
I’d breathe deeper and deeper
And hold the notes for a while

SOMI (ft. Ambrose Akinmusire): Brown Round Things

Somi - Brown Round Things

VERSE 1

They say she’s sweet

She walks the streets at night

They call her names

She offers her bosom and flame

They call her charming

Her moves alarming to passersby

She calls your name

But scowls just the same

[CHORUS:]
