about

If you’ve had a chance to listen to Pina Palau’s album, Illusion, then you already know that this lady possesses a rare and precious gift. Listening to her music feels like you’re stepping into a dream, and this dream lingers long after the last sound fades out. It just hangs there, like mist, refracting light in such a way that it makes everything around you appear a pinch sublime.

Just three months after releasing her debut, Pina is back with a new single: a wistful ballad titled Headed Home. Technically, it’s a love song, albeit a hesitant one, with a strong hint of something azure about it. In her own words: “this piece is like an amuse bouche: a bridge between what you already know from me and a hint of things to come.” She continues, “I love the drums and how they drive the song, like a steamboat. The guitar and the organ are the water running through the wheel, shimmering in the sun. Everything flows into each other, and gets braided together into this sensual, yet introspective space.”

lyrics

There’s something about you
That made me feel alright
Yet no humming in the world
Could have made me sleep that night

Don’t ask me why
I left at 4 a.m.
I’m always headed home
Before the morning sun
I’m always headed home
Before the morning comes

I lay awake beside you
Heard you breathe out breathe in
That I enjoyed that sound
I tried but failed again

Don’t ask me why
I left at 4 a.m.
I’m always headed home
Before the morning sun
I’m always headed home
Before the morning comes

In your Santana shirt
I tiptoed to the door
To fall into my own bed
I yearned for nothing more

Don’t ask me why
I left at 4 a.m.
I’m always headed home
Before the morning sun
I’m always headed home
Before the morning comes

about

Pina Palau Zürich, Switzerland

We live in an enchanted world, unfortunately way too often we’re too busy to even notice. It takes a special type of artist to draw back the curtain and make us recognise this magic nestled in the mundane. Singer-songwriter Pina Palau possesses this rare gift. Her songs obsess over the everyday: coaxing the poetry out of situations and characters that seem all too familiar. ... more
