about

Co-produced by Chris Mazuera (Jessica Domingo, Nafets, Habe) and mixed by Tristan Hoogland (Joji, James Blake, Flume), “Where Were You” is a soul-driven piece of empathy, a sorely welcome hug that consoles, restores and uplifts in equal measures, filling you with the comforting knowledge that someone out there has also been through it and that they too know what it’s like. A softly lapping back beat, amid shimmers of mellow guitar provide a vibrant and warm backing for FELIVAND’s honey-hued vocals. FELIVAND’s silky vocals grow more fervent with repetition, rising in intensity while harmonizing vocal stacks, resonant bass, melancholic chords and layers of texture surround.

lyrics

Sitting on a stairwell
I’m not doing so well
I guess I should just write myself off
Lungs become breathless
Vision taking out a round of tetris
I guess you must’ve got caught up got caught up

Carry me down
Lay me down
Even when we’re in this state And you’re eyes like dinner plates I expect you to wait
So can’t you please explain

Where were you where were you where were you? When everything went sour
Where were you where were you where were you? In the midnight hour
Where were you where were you where were you? When I was face down in my own mistakes Where were you where were you where were you? You weren’t in this place

Stop
The shows over
You’re too late were you winning someone over? But you’re here with a gin in each hand
Am I a gimmick or am I a friend?
Hit me with the empathy the next day
Text message are you OK?
Left on seen I need caffeine
You haven’t got time for me
You made that so clear to me

Yesterday, yesterday
Even when we’re in this state And you’re eyes like dinner plates I expect you to wait
Can you explain

Where were you where were you where were you? When everything went sour
Where were you where were you where were you? In the midnight hour (Just wanted to have you there) Where were you where were you where were you? When I was face down in my own mistakes
Where were you where were you where were you?
You weren’t in this place (Just wanted to have you there)
