Description

rest – live in Bloch

Faroese neo-soul singer gówa, with her signature raspy voice, introduces her debut EP ‘rest – live in Bloch.’ This EP is an emotional journey through love’s highs and lows, blending jazzy, pop-infused melodies with raw, heartfelt lyrics.

In the focus track ‘i’ve never tried this before,’ gówa channels her inner strength, delivering a powerful anthem where she tells off a man who’s behaving like a child – letting him know she deserves better. ‘far gone’ takes you to a place, where delusion and desire mix to a funky beat, while ‘rest’ captures the sleepless nights of heartbreak.

‘cared for you’ confronts the painful realization that the man she cared for is too toxic to love anyone but himself. And tying the entire EP together is the hauntingly personal ‘daddy are you real,’ a song about the one man who should always be there, but isn’t.

This EP is a tapestry of love’s ups and downs, with each song written over the past eight years. gówa invites you to immerse yourself in her jazzy, pop-infused world and experience the emotional whirlwind she has crafted. It’s been a long time coming, and she can’t wait for you to dive in.

I’ve never tried this before

Words: Anna Sofía Skoradal
Music: Anna Sofía Skoradal & Oliver Stryhn Tollundgaard

I’ve never tried this before
I’ve never tried to have responsibilities for a man, who is the same as I am
Oh baby, you’re a big boy now
don’t ya think you should take care of yourself somehow
I’ve never tried this before
I’m not your mother
do you really think I’d bother to give you another
chance to get me back
for the things you lack – hit the road jack!
I’ve never tried this before
I’ve never tried to have responsibilities for a man, who is the same as I am
never tried
never never tried
never tried
never never –
I like my men like I like my whiskey
so you better stand strong while we’re getting frisky
know I’ll quench your thirst like a tall glass of ice tea
you better catch my ass – when I throw it like a frisbee
mmh baby
aah, the same as I am
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I said, I said, I said, I said
I never never never never never never tried
I never tried
Man, you think you’re fly
just because you thought you taught a big bitch to cry
I guess tears don’t lie
but boy I got a line of you’s without a try
I’ve never tried this before
I’ve never tried to have responsibilities for a man, who is the same as I am
never tried
never never tried
never tried
never never tried
never never
I said, I said, I said, I said
I never never never never never never tried

 

far gone

Words & music: Anna Sofía Skoradal

it’s been too long
been staring at my ceiling
wondering if you’re feeling
me, mhm
I guess I come on strong
but I’m just scared of losing
hoping that you’re choosing
me
just wait and see
but you’re so perfect, am I even worth it
oh baby I just got to know
are we ever gonna get across the road
are you gonna notice me across the room
am I ever gonna be you choose
I’m missing you
I’m too far gone
waiting for the weekend
hoping we can play pretend
(in the end)
been dreaming ‘bout your arms
how you’re holding me lately
calling me your baby
oh I just got to know
are we ever gonna get across the road
are you gonna notice me across the room
am i ever gonna be you choose
I’m missing you
I’m too far gone
waiting for the weekend
hoping we can play pretend
(in the end)
oh oh i might lose it
are we gonna be together
now and forever
oh baby I just got to know
are we ever gonna get across the road
are you gonna notice me across the room
am I ever gonna be you choose
are we ever gonna get across the road
are you gonna notice me across the room
am I ever gonna be you choose
are we ever
am I ever gonna be the one you choose
am I ever gonna be the one

 

rest

Words & music: Anna Sofía Skoradal

once in a blue moon
I get to see him too
once every month or two
I think I have him
I’m in heaven, in that moment I’m in heaven
(heaven)
but I know the second that we go, I’m falling further than the floor
(burnin)
you make up all the time in my head
and I know you remember the words you said
and still you’re disturbing the rest that I get in my bed
in my bed
prove to me prove to me prove to me
that I’m more than just one of your girls
‘cause all I do is try to sleep
but you do
you’re doing this to me
do you know that when I lay on my bed
all I see are the stars that I placed above my head
and all I think about
are our conversations lost
and the last time that you saw me
and we stood there
heart to heart
you make up all the time in my head
and I know you remember the words you said
and still you’re disturbing the rest that I get in my bed
in my bed
prove to me prove to me
that I’m more than just one of your girls
‘cause all I do is try to sleep
but you do
you’re doing this to me
all I ask
all I ask is
all I ask is to
all I ask is to get some rest
and all you get me baby
is a mess i need…
I need to get you off my mind
so that I can find my way
I swear, it would make my day
if you could get me some rest
and I could get out of my head
if you could get me rest
I’d get you off my head

 

cared for you

Words: Anna Sofía Skoradal & Tobias Lang
Music: Anna Sofía Skoradal & Oliver Stryhn Tollundgaard

huuh waah
huuh waahahah
what would you say, if I left you with your bones
what would you do, if I cried here all alone because of you?
because of you
what would you say, if I left you here to burn
what would you do, if I lighted the match?
and watched it burn to dust
and never see you again
to finally have an end
huuh waah
huuh waahahah
you know you’re smart
‘cause you figured it out
because I’m weak you can treat me that way
and I’d stay with you
and so i stayed
became weaker and weaker and weaker
with you
why do I keep on pretending that all of the things that you do
is normal to me is it normal to you?
walking a mile and you’re stealing my shoes
taking a trip down memory lane
finish my drink then I swallow my pain
painted a picture so you’d understand it
but honestly you were just under the table again
really?
you’re calling me up and I carry your bag
if you really cared you would adapt
but you are not listening that is a fact
and yeah, I’m good, you did not ask
and yeah, I could give us a chance
and yeah, I should forgive for the past
but you’re playing the strings and not getting attached
huuh waah
huuh waahahah
he pulls me and tells me something I’ve never heard before
quelque chose comme ça
“hey there beautiful, wont you dance with me?
I would like you to see
I would like you to see”
ooh
you’re the one who’s weak
I’m the one who’s smart
so sorry I couldn’t see right from the start
how toxic you are
how toxic you are
you know I only cared for you
but you only cared for you
I only cared for you
but you only cared for you

 

daddy are you real

Words & music: Anna Sofía Skoradal

mamma are you proud of me?
doing things I shouldn’t
dooo
I miss my daddy
feel like I got something to prove
I miss my daddy
ooh…
do you think he would me proud of me?
huuh, ooh…
I miss him when I can’t sleep
I miss him
oh my heart is on my sleeve
it’s been so long since you’ve been here
lived a mile away from you for a year
didn’t see you anywhere
no no…
how can you disappear
into thin air
can’t see you anywhere oh…
lived a mile away from you for a year
mmmh daddy are you
daddy are you even real
daddy are you even real
daddy are you real
daddy I can’t feel
daddy are you even real
daddy are you – real
daddy are you even real
daddy I need you to be real

daddy I can’t feel
daddy are you even real
daddy are you – real
