Astraea - Take Me Away (Official Audio)

The Looking Up EP is out now! https://slinky.to/LookingUpEP 🌤️
Only a few tickets left for my London gig October 14th!: http://gigs.astraeamusica.com/SJQ

Produced & written by me, Take Me Away is a tale of longing for freedom, escapism, & light after being locked away for so long. It was inspired by the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” as well as my own experiences of isolation. I come from a classically trained background and love to create massive orchestral & cinematic soundscapes. I’m also really into trip hop artists like Portishead, Massive Attack, & Lamb so the production became an intermesh of these two loves of mine. So excited for it to come out today along with the Looking Up EP, all 4 songs written & produced by me. I hope you like it, let me know what you think in the comments! :)

LYRICS:
Memories echo down the hall
Secrets wait for me around every corner
Talking to these papered walls
I can't be here for a moment longer

Take me away
No I can't stay
Cause I'm meant to be free
and there's nothing for me in this place
Take me away

Pick my mind up off the ground
Pack my bags and throw the curtains open
All I need is myself now
Don't care where I go as long as I'm going

Take me away
No I can't stay
Cause I'm meant to be free
and there's nothing for me in this place
Take me away

Running from the dark
Open up my arms
To the light that shines on me
I can finally breathe

Take me away
No I can't stay
Cause I'm meant to be free
and there's nothing for me in this place
Take me away
