Jamie 03:56
A gypsy smile Feather hair falling from the heavens to her heart at night Whiskey in her hand and lips that kiss sweeter than wine And I'm drunk all the time She's fucking with my heart She's fucking with my head A stone in my shoe and a fire in my bed She comes with a scream And in an instant she leaves She carves her name with a razor blade inside of me Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie Simmering slow Driving by her house with the radio burning low A dancing silhouette, untouchable and alone Somebody take me home She's fucking with my heart She's fucking with my head A stone in my shoe and a fire in my bed She comes with a scream And in an instant she leaves She carves her name with a razor blade inside of me Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie She's fucking with my heart She's fucking with my head A stone in my shoe and a fire in my bed She comes with a scream And in an instant she leaves She carves her name with a razor blade inside of me Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie

Last call at Christie's Cabaret A sullen smile and I stumble to a seedy alleyway A heavy sigh and I pray Everything will pass away Everything will pass away Flirt with sleep, exhausted and afraid Circle the emptiness like bourbon around a drain The scent of lavender and I pray Everything will pass away Everything will pass away And I will hold her linen scarf into the breeze And I will hold her linen scarf into the breeze Until the devil comes for me Until the devil comes for me A drunken gypsy heart and I pray Everything will pass away Everything will pass away Everything will pass away Everything will pass away

about

"Jamie," the new single from Holden Laurence, combines elements of bombastic Rock & Roll (The Killers), Mope-Rock melancholy (The Smiths), and Power Pop accessibility (The Replacements) to create a fresh sound using familiar textures. Overdriven guitars, Juno synths, and driving drums and bass power through the song's riffs, building undeniable and relentless forward momentum. The narrative of being trapped between desire and unattainable beauty is pitted against the music's propulsive energy, breeding the unshakable tension that lies at the heart of "Jamie."
