lyrics

We go out to the bar tonight
Leather jackets and tighter dresses than the night before
The windows damp with the noise inside
Pretty people with smokes in their hands spilling out the door

The boys with the beers in their hands
Glance when we pass and our friend says she's heard this band before
Struggling through bodies that struggle to pass
A phone in one hand in the other a glass to pour – pour us some more!

We're looking for
looking for someone
to see us right
to hold tight
or to be more than a number that they call on lonely nights
when everybody else is off and out

We never know what the night might bring
Our elegant dancing, we're being held tight by our skinny jeans
We come here to not miss a thing
while hundreds of pictures of prettier honeys flash up on our screens

We drink till we forget our shame
staring in glasses with heavier lashes as the night goes on
we drink till we forget our name
just like the guy who is luring us home with his sweet “come on...”

We're looking for
looking for someone
to see us right
to hold tight

searching for
searching in our hands
a life-line long
to hold on
or to be more than a number that they call on lonely nights
when everybody else is off and out

Lewin Amsterdam, Netherlands

LEWIN: the fresh musical leaf that has been turned by songwriter and musician Jara Holdert.

Lewin's voice "might remind you a bit of Joni Mitchell in the upper registers, while her musical temperament feels closer to the bardic stylings of Laura Marling. Lewin's sound is a refreshing mix of emotional authenticity and beautiful folk-pop songcraft.” (chillfiltr)
