She Said 03:14
She Said I asked my friend advice she said She wasn't born herself, she found herself I think she made herself She said, she said (x2) I asked my friend advice she said Fire lurks within, ember glowing Hey... She said, she said (x4) I asked my sister to listen She tunes in It means everything She said, she said (x2) I asked myself to place words like raindrops on their heads Loving them Blessing them The power of them The magic spells She said, she said (x8) She said, she said (repeats til end)

Down in the Deep (Instrumental) My salt bathing lungs The lines on their tongues Is that what you sold to me? Half spun cigarettes Can't work with less The wheel still spins the same (Instrumental)
3.
Blistered Tongue I tried to capture my own heart Fashioned a net from things found in the dark The strings, they closed in You don't ask where I've been Ooh-ooh (x8) Converse with shadows on the wall Come conduit being, I've known you more Hand to hand, toe to floor Hot flashing darkness, how beautiful Ooh-ooh (x4) Stir the pot, toads and frogs Ooh-ooh (x4) Queen of rot, laughing long Blistered tongue (Instrumental) Ooh-ooh (x4) Stir the pot, toads and frogs Ooh-ooh (x4) Queen of rot, laughing long Blistered tongue

about

In Emily's words... "I created this EP as an exploration of the feminine- I wanted to encapsulate the light and the dark of it, and the complex, beautiful and messy experience I’ve had being a woman.

She Said is sunshine, a celebration of my best friends and women generally, a party, magic spell and a thank you to them. I recorded them all singing as part of the production as I wanted them to be a part of the track.

Blistered Tongue grew out of my being scared of the dark, imagining ghosts or sinister creatures existing there, only to realise perhaps they are only reflections of my own shadow and how important it is to look at that. I was reading about how ghost stories and archetypes of monsters, witches etc are used to allow space for our collective psyche to put the things we are afraid of in ourselves and the world around us, so I created this track as this space.

Down in the Deep is a passage between the two, I imagined myself drifting around the bottom of the sea with leftover parts of civilization".
