lyrics
Overwhelming pain,
joins me for the day
can’t move from my bed
turn my head or lift my legs
but it’s just a day
and seasons everchange
I welcome in the ache
bathe in the tears until they fade
But it’s not easy
till you’re on the other side
thought it would beat me
till I found the other side
No it’s not easy
it’s ok to try and hide
thought it would beat me
until I found the other side
I keep trying to rewind
to find a place to hide
I’m tired of searching for the light
tired of putting up a fight
Nothing ever seems to work
And all these forced smiles hurt
I let darkness surround me
each time it grounds me
So I embrace
The love and take the hurt
Forcing love
It only made me worse
I embrace
The love and take the hurt
Forcing love
It only made me worse
I embrace
(I embrace love)
love
Forcing love (I embrace love)
It only made me worse
I embrace (I embrace love)
love
Forcing love (I embrace love)
only made me worse
Cause it’s not easy
till you’re on the other side
thought it would beat me
till I found the other side
No it’s not easy
it’s ok to try and hide
thought it would beat me
until I found the other side

Black Sand isn’t just music — it’s an experience. The hypnotic rhythms and shimmering melodies create waves that feel like they pass straight through the soul. It’s both grounding and otherworldly, the kind of track that makes you stop, breathe, and get completely lost in sound. For me, it’s not just a song I listen to — it’s one I feel. SM59ZZZ

Listened to this in the early hours of the morning last Friday before my show gave me chills (may have shed a tear too). Holding out for my vinyl copy to really dig in. 🙏🏽 benjaluwi
