about

A tactile and multilayered new song, inspired by the unlikely subject of arterial re-design. Striking a chord with anyone who has ever been kept awake by a theoretical problem, ‘Circulate’ releases at 3am (local times) on 2nd June 2023 on all platforms.

It features delicate layers of closely-recorded voice, (felted) piano and flute.

Circulate is the first song Emma has written since her 2021 self-released album Softly Loudly, which has streamed over a million times internationally.

lyrics

3am and wide awake
Redefining urban space
Sensitively reimagining this place
There's a ghost on every street
Lingering and incomplete
Maybe I'll write a new refrain
With my feet

Is there a better way?
An arterial feng shui
We are longing to circulate
In theoretical space

Is there a better way?
Understand the desire
Isn't part of the design
It's a groove you make
It's a rule you have to break

With this circadian map
I'm navigating on my back
Instead of sheep I count the turns of the track

And how I want it all to flow
If I would only let this go
I'd be re-wilding in my dreams
And it would all grow

Is there a better way?
An arterial feng shui
We are longing to circulate
In theoretical space

Is there abetter way
To understand the desire line
isn't part of the design
It's a groove we make
It's a rule we have to break

So let us circulate

4am and wide awake
