about

This song is about travelling to escape but finding that you can't escape what's inside of you.
The song reflects that despite the challenges and some mixed memories, we were all good souls trying our best with what we knew - always ready to learn.

lyrics

Boxes full of papers holding space
Didn't I say? At the time I was lost and confused
Down the coast on a beach in Spring time
Blue and white tiles in hillside towns
Sailors arrive missing part of the story
Figures twirling, illuminated, mustard and gold

There were good people, here to learn
We were all good people, all here to learn

Running through the gardens at night
Didn't I say, at the time I was running away
Sleeping to the strains of your guitar
On the other side of the wall
Smoke spilling up to the ceiling, pouring under the door

There were good people, here to learn
We were all good people, all here to learn

Nostalgia [EP]
by Annika Jayne

supported by 4 fans who also own “Didn't I Say”

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album. Angie Blue
