Ruthless lyrics:
Hello, it's nice to see you again
Did you miss me?
We're meant to be friends
But it feels like a century
In my head
If I say something that comes out all wrong
Please forgive me
For feeling this strong
Like it feels just like angels
Hmmm in my head
But darling the truth is
In darkness I'm ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again
Maybe I
Am tempted by all that I see
You're nothing like me
I'm circling the room
In gold and French perfume
But darling the truth is
In darkness I'm ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again
Oh baby, I'm misunderstood
And you’re the only one who knows I could
See it all in black and white
Looking better by my side
Oh baby I don't want to be
The only one that's talking in my sleep
I could be your lullaby
Be my lover every night
Can we fly away?
Can we fly away?
Cause darling the truth is
In darkness I'm ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again
Oh baby I don't want to be
The only one that's talking in my sleep
I could be your lullaby
Be my lover every night
Written by María Zardoya (a/k/a María Reál) and Josh Conway
==========================================
The Marías official bio:
The Marías are the psychedelic-soul lovechild of Los Angeles native, Josh Conway and Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised María Reál. A smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos, there’s something undeniably sensual in the group’s dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk and lounge.
With María on lead vocals and Josh on drums, the couple is joined by two of their closest friends and fellow musicians. On guitar, Jesse Perlman, born and bred of LA, with ‘tones that can melt steel,’ say his bandmates. On keys, Edward James.
Drawing inspiration from both their vastly diverse backgrounds and the intimacy of their mystic Hollywood Hills commune, Maria and Josh often write, record and produce within the walls of their own home.
As they take to the stage, dressed like a dream from another era - María at the forefront, eyes closed, swaying rhythmically in a floor length smoking jacket and bright red lips - it’s clear why fans cheekily compare their sound to ‘having sex in the 70s’ or like ‘pouring cream into coffee.’ Watching them, you feel transported, taken over by a sultry tranquility as you drift into a timeless space.

Thanks for watching my video. I gathered all the videos I shot at this concert in a KZbin playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLwdc0qZNx0tZoGHlOWNRscqenu9SdTdWA . The songs are Cariño, I Like It, Over The Moon, Ruthless, Baby One More Time, Basta Ya, Out For The Night, Loverboy, Clueless, and Déjate Llevar. Enjoy!

Thanks mate. Just discovered this group, and this concert seems to have had an unique vibe. Greetings from México.

Maria's voice is incredible. I havent heard this type of voice in any bands. I feel like when I first listened to Billie eillish.

[@syafiqhussain1761]

When the horns came in, it sent me into a euphoric frenzy

[@meesterrain]

In a sea full of dead frequency beings who produce basic sounds, I'm so thankful when groups like this come on and produce the real flavor. Thank you

[@matq5691]

I was at this show right next to the girl screaming randomly lol. Got everyone's autograph but Maria's on their poster :"( This recording doesn't even come close to the euphoric energy that was swirling in that room! Thanks for this!

[@wienersmcbutts]

This might be the one band where I'd get absolutely annoyed with someone screaming mid song.

[@aaakirafilm]

There are songs, and then there are the ones. This is one. The singer feels much more experienced, and the public responded well to her playful demeanor.
