about

Having just returned from a two-month, 11 country tour accompanying Chvrches lead singer Lauren Mayberry, Heather Nation hits the ground running on a series of single + music video releases, starting with the upcoming "Pool of Mystery". With sonic familiarity to bands like Hiatus Kayiote and Little Dragon, Heathers sound offers lush dream-pop and alternative R&B, the new single does not lack in the full, textural, soulful offerings it brings to her listeners.

'Pool of Mystery' the new single cries in reverence to the theme of nostalgia, the longing one can feel for the innocence of beginning again, being new at something, a cry for the type of fresh passion and persistence that newness offers. You'll hear Nation sing to nostalgia as if it were another person she converses with in lines like "falling for a moment/will I ever see you again/you found me in a song somehow/are you with me everyday".

Whether it be the ear-catching lead guitar riff, or the dreamy and dynamic vocal that dances above her self-produced instrumentation of colorful synths, 80's inspired drums, velvety layered guitars, sink into Nation's sound with 'Pool of Mystery' as the perfect taste of what's to come.

lyrics

remember back then
when you had so much to say
spinning in circles and counting to ten
didn't wanna give too much away
(didn't wanna, didn't wanna, didn't wanna)

falling for a moment
will I ever see you again
(will I ever, ever see you, see you again)
you found me in a song somehow
are you with me everyday
(said are you with me, said are you with me)

I wanna make it with you, I
I wanna make it with you, I
I wanna make it with you, I
I wanna make it with you, I

traveling back through years
all these moments in our memory
(are you running, running through my, my head again)
words kept me warm so many nights
your love like a little blue light
don't wanna burn you're already so gone
am I running in your mind so wrong
am I keeping you out in the cold
too many wrong turns baby come home

Ooh, the truth hurts
but you feel it coming closer
don't you, everyday (feel it coming closer) yeah
like the pedals on a flower
you know you can do it better, babe
fall and get replaced
(feel it coming closer) yeah

I wanna make it with you, I
I wanna make it with you, I
I wanna make it with you, I
I wanna make it with you, I

I feel you gettin so lonely
I tell you baby come home, hey
I feel you getting too lonely
wanna make it right, make it right
