Better Without the Weight of You

by Seraphina Aldous

A defiant A-side and a tender B-side: leaving cleanly, and missing a dance hall that is gone.

Tracks

  1. 1. Better Without the Weight of YouBoxes packed by half past three and the key set down gently. The chorus climbs further than I thought I dared.anthemic pop, crossover3:57
  2. 2. The Hoops Are Dark NowSilver, still and empty after the last game. I wanted the piano to sound like a hall holding its breath.art song, piano ballad4:34

Liner notes

I wrote the A-side in an afternoon, a bit angry and entirely sure of myself, which is rare for me. The B-side is the other half of the same feeling, the sound of an empty gym after the lights go out. Put together they are the whole of a goodbye.
