Linying - Tall Order (Official Video)



Prefacing her initiation into both local and international music scenes, Singaporean indie-electronic artist Linying released her first single, Sticky Leaves, landing on Spotify's viral charts: globally, in the US and the UK, before receiving her worldwide premiere on Billboard – a curious step out of the tiny island-state, though arguably not her first.

Before this, Linying's beginnings in music were enabled by the modern-day offerings of long-distance collaboration, and she soon began working with some of European house music's newest, biggest names. Over 20 million hits, a feature at Coachella and a #1 later, she began priming her own songs for viewing. Now, the Spotify Spotlight on 2016 Featured Artist and latest Universal Music Singapore signing is breaking into the indie-alternative consciousness on her own, showcasing a brand of moving lyricism and vivid music production in songs that reveal a stark emotional perspective through elements of electronica, baroque pop, folk, and alt-rock. With an overseas live debut at Tokyo's prestigious Summer Sonic Festival and a string of tour and festival dates across Europe, Asia, and Australia this year, Linying is fast establishing herself as one of the most promising and exciting acts coming out of Asia.

TALL ORDER Lyrics

back then it was a riot, lighting mercy in your soul
a courtesy while tired of yourself and who you know
but now that i'm just as bad i'm telling two times as many lies
a salve made of my saving i now can't look in the eye

but they keep coming, and i'm half a year away; sometimes it's something

make me covered in colour so i can start looking the same
give me taller of an order so i can feel giving again
take me farther and farther and find me something to say

come awake in england, i'm not your friend
i'm not a miracle and i'm not the end
now with your candid disposition, you'll get you off the hook
while anything in a pitiful position and i don't know where to look

so now i'm running, and i give it different names; most times it's nothing

make me covered in colour so i can start looking the same
give me taller of an order so i can feel giving again
take me farther and farther and find me something to say

cause everybody knows now, what a spoiled slate
what a sweet thinker that you're devastating
who can't stop complaining, who won't give a goddamn gift until she's given something so sickened that it can tell her how to live

make me covered in colour so i can start looking the same
give me taller of an order so i can feel giving again
take me farther and farther and find me something to say

Linying - Paris 12 [Official]


Lyrics:

// paris 12 //

somewhere by the corner stove
i said the words that i was told
ecstatic, scared and daring to believe

death and dearness down in streams
magnets and strawberry dreams
follow every god and every grief

laughed and shaking in the cold
love or taking, i don't know
stumbling in the silent annecy

careful creatures they can be
but stroke their skin and scrape their knees
and say it's hard to say before you leave

paris makes me feel alone
but yours is something of its own
i'm clawing every crevice in the car

don't be guilty, don't be brusque
it's not a thing that you can lose
the girl i am, the galaxy you are

up to every honest hour
some were truths and some were far removed, i hear
tried and tired's what you know
but me a quiet souvenir to hold, well here

don't be guilty, don't be brusque
it's not a thing that you can lose
the girl i am, the galaxy you are

Linying - Sticky Leaves

Linying - Sticky Leaves

Like a river as it flows eternally, quiet yet strong, gently pooling at the banks as it cuts through stone. “Sticky Leaves” is the enduring new single from Singapore’s Linying, solemn and soaring as it runs straight to your heart.





Prefacing her initiation into both local and international music scenes, Singaporean singer-songwriter Linying released her first two singles, "Sticky Leaves", followed by "Alpine" in 2016, gathering masses of digital plays worldwide while charting globally and in the US, UK, and Singapore on Spotify's Viral 50.

While international collaborations with producers Felix Jaehn and Lost Frequencies had previously seen Linying's ethereal vocals featured on deep house imprints like Armada and Spinnin' Records, the Spotlight on 2016 Featured Artist is now breaking into the indie-alternative consciousness with her brand of moving lyricism and vivid music production in songs that reveal a stark emotional perspective through elements of indie-folk, electronica, lo-fi and alt-rock.


Lyrics:
is there another world you know, and do you burn
if you can tell me how it goes, i will learn
i'm keeping a rigour on the snow, to wait and see
i'm seeing it quiver from below, below the leaves

for every wreck i still believe in the greatest life and the stickiest leaves
you say it in a foreign tongue, you don't know a thing about the things i've done to keep on loving that heavenly face

time is the only thing i know, the middle of your mixed up six words, nothing more
my love is proud, my love is small
my love is a friday pouring and a black wave cresting and crashing down the living room shore i've known it before, love
sacred ground, i made a sound, did i make it right
enough, go along, i know i was wrong about my might
