Wow. I absolutely *LOVE* this song by Charlene Ava. I love how she incorporates environmental noises into the music… and just lets it breathe. Today’s world can sometimes feel so sterile, I find myself increasingly attracted to the grittier, richer, spontaneous creation of art and music. Check out some of the other songs she has on her site, all very beautiful. charleneava: Did some spontaneous midnight songwriting recently. Really into ambient mellow sappy stuff lately. I recorded this with piano and with my windows wide open. I literally turned up the mic and let the traffic and construction going on outside get recorded at the same time with the vocals. I sat at my desk and made up lyrics as the song went on. The mic was picking me up from across the room. “never again” they’re drilling holes in the street traffic is moving in little streams and I’m not gonna fall in love ever again in love ever again outside all the cars move as if they know I sit by the window here with nothing to smoke I’m not gonna fall in love ever again in love ever again you hang me out to dry I don’t even wonder why cause I’m not gonna fall in love ever again in love ever again
