Joy Oladokun - breathe again (from Sims Sessions) [Lyric Video]

[@JoyOladokun]

I wrote breathe again about the anxiety and guilt that sometimes bogs me down. I hope this song serves as a reminder to let go of the shame and tension and breathe

Am I looking for revival? Am I dressed in other's sin? Hold my breath until I'm honest Will I ever breathe again? When the worlds so heavy I can't stand I close my eyes and start again Though my heart is in my hands I won't break give me faith to bend Am I looking for revival? Am I dressed in other's sin? Hold my breath until I'm honest Will I ever breathe again? Again Again Again Am I looking for revival? Am I dressed in other's sin? Hold my breath until I'm honest Will I ever breathe again?

Every song is so different!!! The arrangements are amazing, sometimes very simple and perfect, some with more production, but still excellent. Her voice is amazing. Someone mentioned mellifluous. I think it’s the perfect word. This song, lyrics and arrangement are amazing. A great talent with a voice that needs to be heard, and I don’t just mean her singing voice.
