    Lyrics:
    I could have been somebody else but
    I’ve been out looking for me
    It doesn’t matter what I tell myself
    For a moment there I swear I saw me
    I went to meet to somebody new
    Changed beneath the evening light
    And she held me kind of like you do
    I hope you know
    I could have been somebody who
    You wanted to have around to hold
    I should have jumped when you told me to
    I wanna change but it’s nothing new
    And if I grow in gonna get so old
    Will you hold me like you always do
    I used to be somebody else and
    I’m still out looking for me
    I go out and try to chase myself
    Find someone that might restore me
    I could have been somebody new
    And I’m talking to myself again
    But I don’t know who I’m talking to
    I think it’s you
    I could have been somebody who
    You wanted to have around to hold
    I should have jumped when you told me to
    I wanna change but it’s nothing new
    And if I grow I’m gonna get so old
    Will you hold me like you always do
    I could have been somebody who
    You wanted to have around to hold
    I should have jumped when you told me to
    I wanna change but it’s nothing new
    And if I grow I’m gonna get so old
    Will you hold me like you always do

    Amber always delivers these harmonic and instrumental setpieces that are epic, heavy and so uplifting to listen to. Every listen brings new accents i have yet heard when i listened to it first. It's such an intellectual and deeply introspective way of bringing the listener into what the music means to the artist. Gonna buy some tix to the next tour once it gets announced. One of my favorite artists of all time

    It's neat how around 0:06 the groove isn't yet solidified, so a first-time listener gets a few seconds to guess where the downbeat position is going to be revealed within that. And guessing wrong is part of the fun. Aimee Nolte did a video about "groove discrepancy" on that subject, that's fun to watch (the example there was Rufus w/ Chaka Khan "Tell Me Something Good" but this track here is going to be another good example of that admittedly nerdy concept)

    Discovered your music this January after listening to TapeOp discussion with Julien Baker and I have to admit I've really listened to nothing else: Your last album and all the EPs. I'm blown away by how creative your music is. I'm totally hooked. Looking forward to the next release(s).

    • @concertconnect6256
      @concertconnect6256 Рік тому +5

      I remember when I first heard her in 2014 (Letter by the Water was the first song I heard) I was completely blown away. Truly unparalleled. So talented 💜

We are still together and me life has been turned around 180 can't thank you enough the music and lyrics cut through me all tinged in beautiful sadness.

    Amber, I'm so thankful for you and your existence on this earth. You made something so beautiful with The Japanese House. Your music has been the soundtrack of my 20's, the high highs and the low lows. I've fallen in and out of love with your music filling the halls. I started listening back in 2015 and I'm 26 now and I don't think I could be nearly as strong as I am without your music. You have such a pure and honest way of song writing that just hits the soul with every line resonating with the heart. I can never truly thank you as much as I want to but I do hope this reaches you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
