about

Like a cool autumn morning on the cusp of winter, ‘Lanterns’ is solitary, gentle, and contemplative. Breathtaking strings swell among the delicate acoustic guitar, with Amiria’s emotive and captivating voice showcasing her strength for storytelling around nature, and what it means to be human.

“‘Lanterns’ is a song about the questions we ask, even when we already know the answers,” reflects Amiria. “It’s about letting love go, and the strange combination of heaviness and relief that can come with that process.”

lyrics

Will you carry my lantern
Will you light up my torch
Will you stand here beside me
Will we walk through the arch
Can I find your hidden language
Wrapped up in your working hands
Gathered from a time remembered
Chasing dreams across the sands

You come from the past I know
Book in hand, hat tilted so
Whisky words and mountain air
Am I the one for you, am I the one for you

Oh my feet are feeling heavy
As they plod along the tracks
And I hold this in my body
Tied in knots along my back
Is it love that I am missing
Even though you tell me so
I don’t know where I am turning to
Pushed away then held in close

You come from the past I know
Book in hand, hat tilted so
Whisky words and mountain air
Am I the one for you, am I the one for you

You come from the past I know
Book in hand, hat tilted so
Whisky words and mountain air
Am I the one for you, am I the one for you
