________________________________
Lost in a booth with the 50s on loop at our table
Our names cut wood and I’m asking what’s good with the waiter
Maple and memories
The best and worst with you
Driven from each other
The best that we could do
Now the walls are quiet
And my phone is silent
Gonna make believe
That you’re here with me
Now my bed is colder
And I miss your shoulder
Gonna make believe
That you’re here with me
Smiling at me through the glass on my screen in a picture
Wonder if you still check up on me when you’re with her
Missed calls and memories
The best and worst with you
Driven from each other
The best that we could do
Now the walls are quiet
And my phone is silent
Gonna make believe
That you’re here with me
Now my bed is colder
And I miss your shoulder
Gonna make believe
That you’re here with me
And a sweetness washes over what has been
Where the bitter ends my love begins
I’ll always be your friend
Now the walls are quiet
And my phone is silent
Gonna make believe
That you’re here with me
Now my bed is colder
And I miss your shoulder
Gonna make believe
That you’re here with me

Greetings from Brazil!!!! Im so glad youre back your songs are pure masterpieces i just cant get enough of them

This is great! I'd love to be able to stream your Everlong loop on Amazon Music too!

Nice vibes I am looking forward to listening your coming songs ! A french producer

When you've mastered loneliness 🤓💚

[@ViniAndradeMusic]

Not really, she has a team.

[@jas_bataille]

@@ViniAndradeMusic No. She has a cameraman and hire a mixing engineer. Check out the credits. She does everything, including the genius programming in Ableton, and when she started, she didn't had any cameraman. The working hours it takes are beyond most peoples' imagination.

[@ViniAndradeMusic]

@@jas_bataille well a cameraman and a mixing engineer sounds like a team to me

[@Nuujy2]

those guys didnt get you. i get you.

[@bossHogOG]

Jas Bataille thanks for breaking it down, literal Larry

[@dennisweber2494]

Who needs a bass strap when you can suspend it from the ceiling.

[@BucketHead6541]

Gotta admit, it's pretty ingenious

[@ChrisParayno]

Should've done the same with her guitar😆

[@ChrisParayno]

@Charles A Townsend yasss!!

[@MrStradia]

Pro tip for sure.

[@kitano0]

One my favorite things about her videos are the guitars from the ceiling, and there's a lot to like about these videos, which are performed IN ONE TAKE...essentially a live performance in-studio.

[@soberlessbeats3138]

We need a "Making of" of these videos. I'm so curious to see and understand the pre/post production behind this and who is all involved. Anyone else?

[@Slears]

I think it is pretty obvious, that the tracks are all pre-produced...and the vid is "just" shot afterwards to the playback...anyway what she does is pure art

[@ZaRealDill]

i mean who ever does the mastering on these songs are amazing but dam you gotta give it to her she is very Hypnotizing

[@cd43]

Slears she uses ableton to live loop. There’s a video on KZbin explaining exactly how it’s done

[@mitch_tmv]

@@cd43 The looping isn't done live, she never hits any buttons, switches or pedals to control the layers. The arrangement is very clearly done after the recording.

[@adolfomarineto9223]

You guys have no idea, she does the looping LIVE with an IAC driver. You can programe the looper action so that it is hands free, the only guide is a metronome . It is done live.

[@gregkocis]

[@xingao3587]

somehow your comment reminds me Jeremy Clarkson, one the famous previous Top Gear trios.😁

[@Mr3DBob]

She's great on every instrument, but when she starts drumming, she simply slays all competition. It's not flashy, but perfect and unpredictable. She has a style all her own, and I love it!

[@cloudoftime]

You really know music. I can tell...

[@nickfox9030]

lays a little heavy on the ride cymbal, but still very good

[@grpeshel]

Not better than my drummer, but I’m only saying that because I have to and our drummer is awesome, but still an absolutely incredible drummer! Better than me

[@bgrigg07]

@@opendore4367 If you do a little research she's been taking drum lessons since age 10, but she was inspired to learn after playing Rock Band.

[@jas_bataille]

I think she is the youngest drummer to ever got a contract with Pearl.

[@Zubb999]

I love that she's always jammin on the drums at the end. I love the freaking drums.

[@funkmaster4040]

I wish that part was 5 minutes longer.

[@Dryburger147]

Honestly my favourite drummer

[@Justwantahover]

She's been playing music since she was a kid and also done music courses.

Ain’t she dope tho?

[@joshualarue1624]

Forreal tho

[@rickbond79]

Right!!? Little thumper

[@Justwantahover]

I build speakers and by mounting the driver just above the speaker hole (with bass vent mod) l get a better kick sound than my $2,000 B&W speakers. Mine are single driver speakers.

[@tristencovarrubias4950]

She dropped a link to a Dropbox folder with the samples & tracks from her How to Get What You Want video in the beginning of 2021

[@jaytea3031]

Feeling a nostalgic, winter type of smooth love vibe. Sade comes to mind with the jazz like beat 👍great original.

[@elisetrouw]

Jay Tea thank you :)

[@Legonater]

Legit was just reflecting today on how talented Elise Trouw is and how it's a shame she doesn't upload anymore. This is a gift.

Check her out in Instagram, not disappointed.

[@icknau5782]

@penalcrack Let's see you create your own song and make it sound even half as good as this.

[@ramage7646]

Nick Mau Who’s her dad though? He’s probably a very talented musician in the ‘70s thats what im guessing

[@aakar88]

penalcrack What is the point of your comment? She is pretty damn good, good for her if she has access to a good studio and sound mixing tools.

[@icknau5782]

@penalcrack You must be fun to drink a beer with...

[@kingamar]

Honestly, probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to. Also I almost never leave likes and comments on a video...yet here I am.

[@toddgriffith5242]

She took us on a journey into the realm of her music. Truly memorizing.

[@professorJorge11]

Lovely song! There's something to it that seems to evolve out of that smooth mix of jazzy harmonies, irresistible melodies and a cool ambient pop vibe together with your stunning voice. Very charismatic and original music that you're putting out and that hopefully will inspire other musicians of our age to follow their unique styles in such a cool and mature manner. You're fantastic, Elise, and you just keep getting better and better - thank you for what you are doing!

A lot of times when you loop your own music it can become cluttered, but Elise strikes a nice balance between each layer.
