about

A song for dreamers, Brian Cox is a take on themes of loneliness, isolation and escapism which have inspired much of the conceptual EP, Better In Space. It’s playful lyricism, dream-like melody and reverberating synthesizers create a haunting but hopeful track at the cutting-edge of dream pop. Her bold imagination and emotional vulnerability shine in this impressive debut.

The song is produced and with additional music by experimental electronic producer Alexander Comana (Miedo Total, Casi Wyn) and mixed and mastered by Nicholas Alexander (Battles, Dead Slow Hoot).

lyrics

When I realised I was lonely
Concluded it must have started a long time ago
Missed the love I’d felt fly off
Realised I needed a spaceman to find my soul

Watched a lot of Brain Cox documentaries
Saw a blackhole and only felt empathy
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know watching can’t fill that void in me
But I sometimes wish that I could fall into the TV

That it is, that it is
In the absence of sound
A solace
I’m limitless, I’m weightless, A comet
I’ll pass by Mars
And find my company in the stars

See it in my dreams
I’m in space, I’m free
There’s just something about being grounded that hurts me
It isn’t a new discovery
But I’m, I'm not made
I’m not made to be solitary

That it is, that it is
In the absence of sound
A solace
I’m limitless, I’m weightless, A comet
I’ll pass by Mars
And find my company in the stars.
