about

The third track ‘Senseless’ draws more on Kate's jazz background, taking you to the streets of New York, in what feels like the soundtrack to a film noir. Featuring some beautiful and sensual muted trumpet by New York jazz artist Mark Morgan, it is easy to imagine a femme fatale slinking through a smoky New York streetscape.

lyrics

Her hands are looking old now,
Yet love they never knew.
The cold bodies, she has tasted,
The love just, never grew.

Her eyes are drying up now,
They gaze longingly around.
She pushes, she pulls,
Oh she hopes, oh and she fools
But in the dead,
She is drowning.

Longing for someone,
Oh but there’s no one.
Longing for someone to hold.
She shakes and she cries till,
All her tears dry and
Waits for the stillness to
Prevail.

Longing for someone,
Oh but there’s no one.
Longing for someone to hold.
She shakes and she cries till,
All her tears dry and
Waits for the stillness to
Prevail

Her ears are blocking out now,
The same conversations. Flow.
She knows that she can’t force it,
The heart just knows what it knows.

Her scent is left behind now,
Who she is, no one will know.
She pushes, she pulls,
Oh she hopes, oh and she fools,
But in the dead,
She is drowning.

Longing for someone,
Oh but there’s no one.
Longing for someone to hold.
She shakes and she cries till,
All her tears dry and
Waits for the stillness to
Prevail

Longing for someone,
Oh but there’s no one.
Longing for someone to hold.
She shakes and she cries till,
All her tears dry and
Waits for the stillness to
Prevail

Her hands are looking old now,
Yet love they never knew.
The cold bodies she has tasted,
The love just, never, grew.
