about

Start Anew is the first single & title track of a new record from Emily Davies, which will be released on 21 June 2024. It was recorded at Shearwater Studios in Plymouth and features a host of superbly talented southwest musicians, including Ben Roberts, Joe Mawson and Harry Colwil.

Start Anew was the first track that Emily wrote for this new record. It is a call for catharsis and marks the beginning of a deeply personal journey of reflection and healing.

lyrics

Wind is blowing in from the North,
On the road at once familiar
But heading somewhere new, to find a place
Where no-one knows ya

Show me the way,
Show me the way
To start anew
To start anew

Winter wind is whipping up the waves
Feel the salt upon my skin
Tingling from the cold
Want to feel it all, let it in

Now all the bullshit and the doubts
And where I’ve travelled, and the dark I’ve kept within
Cast them out to the waves
Let me unfurl, let me begin

Show me the way
Show me the way
To start anew
To start anew

I played the hand that I was dealt, though I knew it wasn’t right
It’s taken time to understand, that the fault it wasn’t mine
I was not yours for the taking, when you strode across the line
I want so deeply to be loved, but find it hard to love myself

Show me the way
Show me the way
To start anew
Show me the way
Show me the way
To start anew
Show me the way
Show me the way
To start anew
To start anew

Emily Davies Exeter, UK

Undeniably steeped in the magic of the past, while still maintaining a refreshing air of the new, her songs blend bittersweet folk with a melodic mix of alt-country and a genuine pop sensibility and showcase a voice that's breathy, big and soulful too. She is a pure and supremely talented songwriter: spend a little time in her presence and drift away somewhere else entirely. ... more
