about

Undercurrents is the Sophomore Single from the pairing of ELYXIR and Neilio. An 80s rock ballad that combines the vocal prowess and vulnerability of the likes of Adele with the dramatic 80s rock power ballad styles of a Jim Steinman production, Undercurrents will take you to that deep, nostalgic place. with organic instrumentation and a phenomenally gripping guitar bridge solo, Undercurrents is a journey and a slow burn of a song, ideal for those who like to simmer and bloom with their music rather than lunge towards repetitive hooks.

lyrics

Verse 1
It's not like we can erase the pages where our history lies
We just have to celebrate the changing seasons of our lives
Sometimes we're so close it feels like our hands could almost touch
Sometimes we don't speak a word to each other for months

Pre
But there's always a look, always a thought
The loss of a kiss that we never caught

Chorus
And even though we never sailed out in that ocean
I'm swept in the undercurrents that set it in motion
We're finally safe to embrace what we have and accept what is gone
But still I’m swept in the undercurrents with all of my feelings from when we were young

Verse 2
So happy to see the houses that we turned into homes
That we found our way to perfect places, with families of our own
I feel like we've learnt the burn only lingers in the back of the mind
It’s only a phase to ponder the journey we left behind

Pre
Still there's always a look, always a thought
The loss of a kiss that we never caught

Chorus
And even though we never sailed out in that ocean
We're swept in the undercurrents that set it in motion
We're finally safe to embrace what we have and accept what is gone
But still I’m swept in the undercurrents with all of these feelings from when we were young

Bridge
But sometimes the tides pull us down
As I reach for you to lift me out
I hope in these moments I don’t drown

Reprise
We're finally safe to embrace what we have and accept what is gone
But still I’m swept in the undercurrent of all of these feelings from when we were young
When we were young
From when we were young
