Lyrics: Verse: Bright eyes, I get a little hopeful that when I wake up you'll be there sunlight in your hair There's a wilderness in you I adventure to I hold my breath this calmness as I hold you You're so exciting A wild thing between these sheets Chorus: I wake up make you breakfast I wonder, could you love me More than just in my dreams I'm high on you This bright light in your words You speak the truth or do you? Verse: There's this beast in you Wants to consume me And leave me tomorrow And I'm beautiful still The owls in the forest say "He'll break your heart" But I go willingly Cos that's the only game you know Chorus. Verse: Maybe I'll find Some new lover tomorrow But I'll still remember you And how I tried so hard Not to need you tonight And how tomorrow By the ocean With the birds in my hair I'm still yours My love on this one night stand My love, my night time dare Chorus.

Don't worry so much, keep my head up I have never managed to stay Friends with anyone before But I've never felt this way before You matter so much, darling When I see you I catch my breath I've got to swallow my pride Got to keep my heart safe Chorus: You were all I ever wanted You were all I ever needed How'd our words become disaster? I'll try to speak without the words Exploding Verse: You matter so much, darling You were everything I wanted You were all I ever needed We could stitch it up, darling I guess I said something wrong and it lead to this disaster? I still feel like I belong to you Chorus: You were all I ever wanted You were all I ever needed How'd our words become disaster? I'll try to speak without the words Exploding Break: You... matter so much darling You were all I ever wanted I swear, Angel You…you were all I ever wanted You were all I ever needed I'll try to speak without the words Chorus: You were all I ever wanted You were All I ever needed How'd our words become disaster? I'll try to speak without the words Exploding You were all I ever wanted You were All I ever needed How'd our words become disaster? I'll try to speak without the words Exploding

Verse 1: Want to make you feel Just a little bit less like crying Want to make you feel Just a little more like fighting Verse 2: And he comes in And he's like a storm And he sets her on fire And he comes in And he’s like a storm And he sets her on fire Chorus 1: Can you feel this under your skin? Don't the stars look bright? Lay down memories in this city The lights on the street are out tonight Can you feel this under your skin? Don't the stars look bright? Break: Verse 3: Want to make you feel Just a little bit less like crying Want to make you feel Just a little more like fighting Verse 4: And she comes in And she's like a storm And she sets him on fire And she comes in And she’s like a storm And she sets him on fire Chorus 2: Can you feel this under your skin? Don't the stars look bright? Lay down memories in this city The lights on the street are out tonight Outro: Can you feel this under your skin? Don't the stars look bright? And he comes in And he's like a storm And he sets her on fire

about

Rose Carrousel, (Heidi Edmonds) a singer-songwriter-producer who crafts whimsical, shimmery folktronica. Little Stars is Rose Carrousel's first solo EP.
www.rosecarrousel.com
soundcloud.com/rosecarrousel
www.facebook.com/rose.carrousel

Little Stars are the bright lights, those special people, in our lives.

In Rose Carrousel's self-produced EP, Little Stars, unguarded, intimate, optimistic story telling blends with magical, glitchy electronica, vintage beats, acoustic instruments and subtle harmonies to make her folktronica and lo-fi electro. She writes, records and produces her heart-on-sleeve, melody laced creations.

Tracks on this project have received financial assistance and support from the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, and the Queensland University of Technology.

The name Rose Carrousel is inspired by the ideas of looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses…the way a carousel turns and spins and offers constantly new perspectives. And Rose Carrousel references the French spelling to connect her affection for the joy of French culture and the original carousel in Montmartre that inspired her name.

In Rose Carrousel she develops further her earlier experimental electronica with My Cerulean Heart and Dizzygotheca.

She has performed or released in France, England, the USA, Slovakia, and Australia. She has been Highly Commended in the Queensland Song of the Year (2012, 2013). Her track “Street Lights” was selected for inclusion on “Twelve: The Best of IMP’s 100 Songs Project 2011” (part of QUT’s Independent Music Project (IMP)) and her track “Little Beat” was nominated for a QSong Award (2008). Through the Lady Electronica collective she is a successful Australia Council and Arts Queensland grant recipient. She has been mentored by and collaborated with Wally De Backer, Quan Yeomans, Scott Horscroft, Lawrence English, Julian Knowles, Donna Hewitt, Phil Graham, Mike Howlett and others. She uses Ableton Live software. Her vocal and production styles have been compared with New Buffalo, The Postal Service, Stars and Beach House.

Rose Carrousel also is a scientist with a PhD in environmental science. Read more at her blog at www.rosecarrousel.com.
