NEW SONG RELEASE || SONG FOR A SHELL

SONG FOR A SHELL from Francesca on Vimeo.

I created Song For A Shell forwards and backwards across the seas. The film was make on Denman Island, an Island off Vancouver Island accessible by boat, after having stumbled across a Buddhist retreat on Denman on a site build by the original founders of Greenpeace. It was a still and enriching day full of adventure and new friendships, a short skinny dip (sea was cold!!!) and contemplation whilst watching the sun go down. 

I started recording the main part of the song just before the Pandemic and wanted to finish it but somehow time stopped in an unhelpful way.

Now, during the cold, long, and beautiful nights of January during a Boston Winter as I prepare for Semester two of my time at New England Conservatory, I found space to finish it and am really happy with how it turned out. Channelling some of my new musical breadth and with a hyper-focused spirit i'm happy to share Song For a Shell with you now. 

Enjoy.

I AM SAFE INSIDE YOUR SHELL
LOOK INSIDE YOU WILL NOT SEE
WASHED UP ON THE SALTY SHORE
THEN ONE DAY YOUR’RE GONE
GONE
I AM SAFE INSIDE MY SHELL
LOOK INSIDE YOU WILL NOT SEE
WASHED UP ON THE SALTY SHORE
THEN ONE DAY YOU’RE GONE GONE
SHORE. GONE.
SHORE. GONE. GONE. GONE
