Sofie Royer – before/after
Even when 'before/after' digs into repetition and self-scrutiny, it retains its swagger.

[Verse 1]
I'm always falling for the wrong body
Those not comfortable near mine
A hundred of us sway or sigh
In the air that is too cool
I wanna say to you, dear heart
Wanna breathe in this world that's falling apart
[Chorus]
I am too old to learn your name in any other language
I am on road, almost there, but not home
[Verse 2]
In the sky there is a dark bird flying away
And what I can imagine is an exquisite amount of danger
In the story, in this day
I'm ignoring you, boy
So wrong and close to my face
Once and not so long ago
Maybe Saturday
[Chorus]
I am too old to learn your name in any other language
I am on road, almost there, but not home
[Verse 3]
In another life, a whole world not like this one at all
I would have said "weep for me"
Everyone that is alive and nearby

Sofie Royer →Album
Has at some point been bewitched
I can see distant ruin
Rising up like smoke
I don't wanna be your friend
Or be moved by this suffering
There is so much damage, what good can I do
Or see with my eyes this inescapable truth

From Dork
Even when 'before/after' digs into repetition and self-scrutiny, it retains its swagger.
Fourth album 'before/after' arrives via Stones Throw with a European tour to follow.
On her fourth album, Sofie Royer turns her attention inward, questioning time, transformation and the stories we tell ourselves.
The song arrives alongside a self-shot video filmed during a trip to China earlier this year.
