Linying - Tall Order

Linying - Tall Order

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
