"let the light in / under your skin / it bleeds through / love would I fear / swim in my tears / 'cause you built the pool..."
The persistent, translucent sad beauty of "Pool" by New York singer-songwriter Amelie Lucille clings to you like a cold sweat. The open lyrical candor cascading off of plucked nylon guitar strings with a full bodied vocal performance and embraced by perfectly sparse orchestrations suggest that Lucille might be deep diving into older folk's vinyl collections besides current possible inspirations like a Lizzy McAlpine or Phoebe Bridgers. I mean, the sophisticated vocal melodies could be seeded from 60's, 70's pop songwriters like luminaries Alan and Marilyn Bergman (RIP Marilyn) or voices like Etta James. All I am saying is that 15 year old Amelie Lucille might just be an old soul, artistically speaking. Nothing wrong with that, of course, and based on the eloquent melancholia of this track, I will be swimming in "Pool" often.
And those crushingly dreamy lyrics, wow.
"loosing my head
after what’s said
when the lights go out
open your eyes
now you see clear
for the first time
I’m not there
you always lied
now we’re even
but even still means that we’re through
you scream
for me"
