Mike Ray Dream Pop at it's best.
Sort of album which one can enjoy from the first to the last song. No showstoppers in-between. Very rare quality level.

Same Way 02:54 video
Do you think I’m strange I don’t blame you I’m still learning what to do I’m still learning what to do When you learn that the whole world Wasn’t made for you So it could carry through all that you want it to Do you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day Do you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day Or maybe it’s that I’m not strange enough Cause I’ve never been brave enough To simply be myself Maybe I’m the kind of strange That needs someone To help me see it too and undo everything else Do you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day Do you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day And if there were a world in which I could swallow what I feel I truly cannot tell you if I would want it to be real If you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day If you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day If you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day If you think of me in the same way I think of you every day I think of you every day…

Does It Show 02:34
Can you see me from where I’m standing Tell me am I shimmering They say it’s bad for my health To live for the love of someone else But maybe if you could see me Then I could believe In just how far I think I could go Tell me does it show Tell me does it show Tell me does it show Tell me does it show And if I want to succeed They say to do it just for me But tell me who can I help Singing these songs for just myself When maybe if you could see me I could make us both believe In just how far I think we could go Though I’ve learned better than to live Just for someone else to get Something that I already know Tell me does it show Tell me does it show Tell me does it show Tell me does it show

I Will 04:05
Maybe I’m still learning to love And learning to live’s about giving Without giving up Maybe I’ve been yearning for us And if I could stop these wheels from spinning For long enough I can come up with something to make us feel That something’s been begging to come out And if I can do my part to heal Just by being real and singing out I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will And if you’ve been longing to be That thing you’ve been dreaming so faithfully Maybe you are not so far Once you can determine Why it’s written on your heart And come up with something to make us feel That something’s been begging to come out And if I can do my part to heal Just by being real and singing out I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will I will

If you wanna love me Can’t take and leave pieces of me I’m so extreme maybe that’s my thing That scares you away Well if it does then please don’t stay I can’t remain in this lingering Cause when I say I’m done You and everyone Know I can’t keep my heart at bay So I pray to my goddesses Love me or love me not She says it doesn’t matter either way Cause if you can love you can love yourself If you can love you can love yourself If you can love you can love yourself If you can love you can love yourself Did you catch me posing Do I appear as if I’m hoping To be everything To you and everyone On all fours like is it fun Thank god she can sing Cause when I say I’m done I can take away my sun But I can’t keep my heart at bay So I pray to my goddesses Love me or love me not She says it doesn’t matter either way Cause if you can love you can love yourself If you can love you can love yourself If you can love you can love yourself If you can love you can love yourself Is it fun for you and everyone Is it fun for you and everyone Is it fun for you and everyone Is it fun for you and everyone

Is my desire a burden To relieve our suffering If I don’t do it will you if not what will we come to I’ve been thinking it through as usual Like ooh would it be against your will And could I ask you not to take it personally I love you you know I always will And I know how bad you want to do it for me But will you do it for you too Will you do it for you too Will you do it for you too Will you do it for you too And maybe we can be different Than our past or our parents I seem brave but I’m afraid as I’ve ever been Cause here I am all in my head again Like ooh would it be against your will And could I ask you not to take it personally I love you I know I always will And I know how bad you want to do it for me But will you do it for you too Will you do it for you too Will you do it for you too Will you do it for you too I won’t hurt you I couldn’t stand to I won’t hurt you I couldn’t stand to Though we wish it could come Easily easily easily again Oh we wish it could come Easily easily easily again I won’t hurt you I couldn’t stand to You are my best friend, you’re my best friend Surely it will come Easily easily easily again Surely it will come Easily easily easily again I won’t hurt you I couldn’t stand to And surely it will come Easily easily easily again

I’m not saying you’re not doing well For someone who has been to hell and back Can’t you see that I just wanna help And I can understand that Oh some things they just Don’t go as you had hoped But angel I want you to know I want you to know you can heal your pain You don’t have to carry the weight Though you have come so far on your own Some things they are just Too much to hold all alone Too much to hold all alone I traveled back in time Just to take her hand in mind Told her that I loved her and Her father is a very sick man And the one who would save the day He arrived not a minute too late Sometimes the world is A wedding day and an earthquake Oh some things they just Don’t go as you had hoped But angel I want you to know I want you to know you can heal your pain You don’t have to carry the weight Though you have come so far on your own Some things they are just Too much to hold all alone Too much to hold all alone Too much to hold all alone Too much to hold all alone

Here I am turned inside out By all the things I’m not allowed to say Like I cannot believe how You’d leave me hanging that way Don’t you have anything to say Anything to say anything to say Don’t you have anything to say Anything to say anything to say Please don’t tell me that it’s over When there are so many pages left to turn Maybe I am getting older But I’m not too old to yearn Take my money I am not afraid of you honey Take off that thing wash your feet And if I give you rubies Let you see right through me I only ask of you one thing Don’t leave me hanging that way Hanging that way hanging that way Don’t leave me hanging that way Hanging that way hanging that way And please don’t tell me that it’s over When there are so many pages left to turn Maybe I am getting older But I’m not too old to yearn Please don’t tell me that it’s over Sit back and watch as my heart burns Maybe I am getting older But I’m not too old to yearn Take my money I am not afraid of you honey

Fall Away 03:15
Do you need me A much as I need some sleep tonight And if I give Away all my precious light Tell me what good would that do If I drown with you Tell me then where would we be If I give you everything Fall away that which doesn’t belong to me Is it enough to care and carry the weight for one And forgive me if the best I can do To be there for you Is to be there for me too And I know that seems Like just one of those spiritual things That people say To avoid responsibility But tell me what good would it do If I drown with you I’m telling you that’s where we’d be If I gave you everything Fall away that which doesn’t belong to me Is it enough to care and carry the weight for one And forgive me if the best I can do To be there for you Is to be there for me too And forgive me if the best I can do To be there for you Is to be there for me too

Ooh give me a goddess to pray to You wouldn’t try to tell me would you That there really are so few And oh if you’re dying to be one Well tell me baby have you ever Made love to anyone Why yes I have does that make me ugly Tell me am I just so unholy If I’m not yours to hold If I’m not yours to hold If I’m not yours to hold And if I need a man to complete me Then tell me what will I do if he leaves If I’m not his to hold If I’m not his to hold If I’m not his to hold Then will someone give me a goddess to pray to Are you really trying to tell me there are so few And they’re all his to hold And they’re all his to hold And they’re all his to hold

Shivering on the beach Sun so weak I can practically breathe it Miami when nothing it seemed Mattered but laughing hard and cinnamon buns Well if I can take me To that peaceful place Oh what am I waiting for And if I could just make me Something in that vain A life to be adored, a life to be adored Snail hunting in Henley Seriously grieving over my favorite Spice Girl Momma she’s the sweetest thing And dad before he ever met that lure Well if I can take me To that peaceful place Oh what am I waiting for And if I could just make me Something in that vain A life to be adored, a life to be adored A life to be adored, a life to be adored A life to be adored, a life to be adored A life to be adored, a life to be adored I hear people never change They say people never change But could we ever be the same I hear people never change They say people never change But could we ever be the same I hear people never change They say people never change But could we ever be the same Could we ever be the same Could we ever be the same

about

Recorded at home with producer Autre Ne Veut, Victoria Reed’s entrancing new album, ‘Aquamadre,’ is a lush and dreamy meditation on healing, an ethereal ode to self-love, and a remarkable document of transformation and personal growth all rolled up into one. Inspired by Reed’s lifelong study of astrology and tarot, the songs here are equal parts pop and experimental, built off swirling synthesizers, slinky guitars, and hypnotic beats, and Reed’s performances are breathy and captivating to match. At times angelic, at times haunting, she sounds otherworldly, but her writing is very much grounded in the emotional reality of modern womanhood and the seemingly impossible contradictions it demands. If nothing else, ‘Aquamadre’ is proof that true strength comes not from having all the answers, but from knowing when to ask for help.
