Emily Barker New Single - Unpaid Bill | ADVERT BREAK

 EMILY BARKER - UNPAID BILL

========================================= You were somewhere else when I woke up far from together Crack in a matching coffee cup spilt, spelt forever Morning thick as a winter’s coat holding back the weather Want a two-shot, short cut, brighter note brand-new treasure Light on the front porch is broken An unpaid bill in your name Doors to different rooms won’t open The chair tells me to sit and wait Ticket to the edge of the open lake deep decompression Can’t help but wish for another take loss as a lesson No way back to what began no further direction Wanna skim read, high-speed, understand give me a second Light on the front porch is broken An unpaid bill in your name Doors to different rooms won’t open The chair tells me to sit and wait You were somewhere else when I woke up far from together Crack in a matching coffee cup spilt, spelt forever =========================================

There’s so much symbolism in the day to day. Sometimes it’s spooky. For instance, one of a pair of coffee cups breaking shortly after your partner leaves you. Or receiving a bill in the post addressed in their name.

Like ‘White Geraniums’, this song is about sitting in grief: “The chair tells me to sit and wait”. It’s about realising that grief, shock, anger are going to take a while to shift. And that despite wanting an easy, quick way out, that time will do the heaviest lifting of heartbreak.

I recorded this song, and ‘White Geraniums’ with producer Luke Potashnick at The Wool Hall in Beckington, Somerset along with some awesome musicians, most of whom were on the ‘Fragile as humans’ album.
