Hollow
In the darkness
My eyes are open
In the darkness
I see your shadow
In the darkness
There’s room for hoping
But in the darkness
The shadows closing
Once you filled my life
Showed me the only path the follow
But it was all to gain my confidence
and eat away my soul
In the shades of reality,
you showed me what I wanted to see
Then left me hollow
In the darkness
I hear you coming
In the darkness
My heart is thumping
In the darkness
I think maybe this time
But in the darkness
The shadow passes
Once you filled my life
Showed me the only path the follow
But it was all to gain my confidence
and eat away my soul
In the shades of reality,
you showed me what I wanted to see
Then left me hollow
Words and music: Evelyn
'Hollow' is Evelyn's song. It's an extremely personal piece she wrote in a rather low moment. The interesting cross rhythmic feel was introduced by Andy who decided that the music should be in a different time signature to the vocal - 3:4 against 4:4 - it's very unusual and is what gives the song such an unsettling feel. For Eve, the song was about capturing an emotion, not merely singing about being down, but actually trying to emulate the feeling of depression. We used the very first vocal take, the one we actually recorded for the demo, as subsequent efforts just didn't capture the emotion as well.
