about

A stand alone track with a strong, smooth leading melody, layers of call and response and driving beat that carries it through to the climax. With such a stripped back feel it allows La Mer's lyrics to shine in a song about solitude, love lost , remaining humble, and not allowing your pride to get the best of you, despite everyone around you and how they may be living their life.
Sera Roadnight, Magic Tree Press

lyrics

My man has sailed away
He said the wind was changing
but I said I didn't care
Oh no I said I didn't care

And now I am an island
bare save the shells that wash up to my shore

Oh why is no one hungry?

You used to bring me peaches
you used to bring me pearls
you were my favorite treasure
but you are not mine anymore

You could have been my Captian
I would have been your bride
You had to be a sailor
I had to keep my pride

La Mer Los Angeles, California

Song + Sound Healing Artist,
Sea Minstrel

La Mer creates a dreamy, definitive melodic ecosphere of deep, benthic reveries that immerse you in a soft world of love, starfish, and addictive songs. Heartfelt, catchy melodies carried by a voice that is sexy, angelic, soulful, and full of sweet surrender. -Patrick O’Heffernan, Vents Magazine ... more
