"superficial beauty fades"
Beauty Fades by Santa Monica, California bred and based singer-songwriter / producer Alex Siegel is simply beautiful. Unabashedly emotional and romantic, this sort of lo-fi psyche pop affair floats on well produced machine beats, pearly layered keys, guitar and Siegels tender and sadcore laced vox, but what might be the most endearing are the poetic lyrics drenched in romance and longing.
I don't often paste up lyrics in their entirety and maybe never have in over ten years but feel compelled to do so today.
"Burning all the bridges that we cross
Just another kid who wound up lost
Somewhere on the face of the earth
She’s hiding her tears
Something about it don’t feel right
Looking at a screen to see the light
Home alone this empty feeling’s
The same every year
Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away
Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away
One more lifeless photograph
Don’t know if I should cry or I should laugh
Stuck inside a loop that I can’t break
Roll another number for the road
Hear the greatest story ever told
This could be the only trip
My heart’s gonna take
Superficial beauty fades
Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away
Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away
Is it only
Love is a ruby
That you wear outside
Is it only
Love is a ruby
That you wear outside
Superficial beauty fades"
