Come To Me 04:04
I was born down by the sea Rising up for a place to be I was raised by the southern sun Reaping out of the depth I'd dug Come to me Oh come to me When your eyes are wide and you can see Come to me Oh come to me Let me wither you down in the sweetest way I could possible Howling winds and pouring rains I am withered like old wooden frames Hungry eyes and sultry skin Lead me in as it begins Come to me Oh come to me When your eyes are wide and you can see Come to me Oh come to me Let me wither you down in the sweetest way I could possible Its the touch of the night in the faint moonlight within the abyss that I reside Would you hear me now as I start to howl to let me out Come to me Oh come to me When your eyes are wide and you can see Come to me Oh come to me Let me wither you down in the sweetest way I could possible

I walked along the river canals Tryna find myself so I could tell Oh whats a quiet girl like me to do Is it a sign or is my mind in two I could've loved you I could've loved you Would you get on a plane today Race your brains and say well hunny I'm comin anyway What you decide is how I go or I stay I keep walking in my own dazed state I could've loved you I could've loved you So decide for me and you

Nicalochan 04:49
Nicalochan I saw you in a dream last night Nicalochan you were dancing with those eyes You used to visit almost every night Sometimes I see you even in the daylight Oooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Late one time I put my hand apon the wall I could feel your shadow pressed up on my palm I raced to look for you did you hear me call? Nicalochan I feel strange saying your name at all Oooh ooh ooh Where ya been? Ooh ooh ooh Where ya been? I've been dreaming about you ever since And i'll be dreaming till I know where ya been Nicalochan where ya been I feel strange ever since Nicalochan where ya been I feel strange ever since Where ya been I'll be dreaming till I know Where ya been

Lazer Lights 04:38
Would you know our vow When you saw in the crowd Could you be tripped By the sight of it Oh like lazer light washing my eyes I am waiting On the edge for you Well slowly there's gravity Pulling in and out of you and me Do I understand I don't think I do Such a wild notion to be true I am waiting On the edge for you Oh like a lazer light washing my eyes Oh like a lazer light washing my eyes Silently hit, silently hit Silently hit, silently hit Silently hit, I don't desire it
5.
In between the road and the stream Cotton flowers drift past me Angelic delight in any man's sight Rather comely you'll think out loud So captivated bewitched in stages Can you see Oh ground shaking, alternating between In between the road and the stream A little voice follows softly Even when you can't hear It's always there Becoming enslaved in the divine and the tainted So captivated, bewitched in stages Can you see Oh ground shaking, alternating between Rather comely you'll say to me When the ground is shaking alternating between
6.
Oh Iseult of the fair can't you tell that he won't be there Don't hold the promise he made For he's already sailed away He's already far away Though he says he'll return He has nothing bound to you but his word Oh the bittersweet for lovers In the dance of the absolute Oh the bittersweet for lovers The bittersweet Oh Iseult of the white hands he'll never look at you The way he does with her He'll be convinced to stay a lil while but that's enough It's only for a while You can have his body but you may never know his mind Oh the bittersweet The bittersweet Oh the bittersweet Like kryptonite, a lady weeps for him
7.
Rest your gaze My darling my craze Looking through me will hurt this space Spend a minute upon my page Longer than this and I will replaced By the other side within my descent Loving you into an abyss The first time I can catch my breath and so I hesitate As you think to yourself As I think to myself where it all truly did begin Where it begun My love my sun Where are your rays Where are those days A simple step to a foreign place Still, I'm dreaming of your embrace To find not only my heart But yours To speak to the flowers of forgiveness Reach for the hands of remembrance As you think to yourself As I think to myself Where it all truly did begin The first time I can catch my breathe And so I hesitate
8.
I am I do exist It doesn't mean I don't think of it I speak I breathe I perceive Oh the way that I feel Hello the word I know the best Goodbye hasn't found it's place yet Would you blame Would you blame me Would you blame Would you blame me In the air like transcendent leaves I am still but I can't see I rumble and crawl just like the man Who stumbles among old broken glass Oh it whispers through my hair A distant burden that I bear Sun and sea swallow me Washing off old memories Would you blame Would you blame me Would you be hypnotized by the way that I move my mouth Or would you blame Would you blame me
9.
Petrichor 02:04
Petrichor I miss your presence in the city Nothing like bare earth showing off its bursts Wildwoods to the pastures Ruffled amongst the steam Trip me oh take me into the dark Trip me oh take me when I'm lost Gasp the air in the centre of the coven Deep deeper into my horizon Though I feel blind Light strikes me down Trip me oh take me into the dark Trip me oh take me when I'm lost There it is There it is again There it is, there it is The smell of the earth after rain The smell of the earth after rain
10.
Christmas 02:06
Tips of toes Cries and woes All the holiday moans Snowfall, summers dawn Sleighbells on your door Ooh whats with you Singles night Full moonlight A glass of wine Right and white All things nice Oh a silent fight Ooh whats with you What's with you
11.
Coming Home 03:45
Sometimes we learn to love Touch that haunts your soul Sometimes a wandering heart just hurts like hell I do believe I do believe I'm coming home Love that resonates your bones If it illuminates your lingering darkness you'll know I do believe I do believe I'm coming home All I know is there is a change Oh is it time to turn the page Well sometimes a wandering heart just hurts like hell I do believe, I do believe I'm coming home

about

Nicalochan is like no other body of work Chantel Van T has created. This album is a mature, honest creation that is neither overthought nor over-produced. It is an untampered-with creation from an artist with a fervent intention to make the listener feel- be it to haunt or to uplift. It was recorded on tape over two summers by Danish producer Anders Christopherson (WSLS Records) in his self-built Berlin studio. Together with a few remarkable musicians they found sounds and rhythms that helped tell the stories of her songs and hold her possessed voice. The album seeks to explore the artists’ inner world without artifice or any attempt to mask vulnerability. The lyrics speak of dreams and illusions, of disruptive forces in her childhood, of understanding love and of becoming a woman. Nicalochan is an album born of seamless creativity imparting to the listener a sense of inspiration and wonder.
