► LYRICS:
There's always and always and always and always a need
There's always and always and always and always a need
When I see you smile there's always that familiar feeling
Somehow I'm not the only one
There's always and always and always and always a need
There's always and always and always and always a need
When you start to cry I get that familiar feeling
Somehow I'm not the only one
I'm so close to tears
Im biting holding back
I'm so happy I could break down and cry
Break down and cry
So alone and so at home
So alone and so at home
I'm always and always and always and always in need
I'm always and always and always and always in need
When we lock our eyes I hit my head on the ceiling
I’m not the only one
Always wanting something yearning feel indifferent undeserving
What am I
What am I now
And if I catch a glimpse of you while I hide
Will you walk away from me and kill my pride
It’s fine
Cause I feel this pain for fun
I’m so close to tears
Im biting holding back
I'm so happy I could break down and cry
Break down and cry
So alone and so at home
So alone and so at home

I love how her voice has evolved

[@b.titaniumm]

[@lukehan451]

Truly wow timeless

[@cherstyn14]

i hear different styles in one song!

[@jordanyeager9220]

Yes definitely a departure from Whip My Hair

[@ThymetravalarAdventures]

I knew it would I loved her from day one I know she was going to grow into that voice stunning just stunning

[@jorjied1596]

it's giving me Macy Gray, its giving me Kravitz, its giving Furtado, I'm feeling some Bjork in the high notes, it's reminiscent of the bohemian 90's revival and yet so unapologetically Willow. I am OBSESSED

[@paulflanagan5395]

DAMN, YOUS GOT A GOOD SET OF EYE'S & EAR'S. I AGREE WIT YA'S. ( 3 )

[@user-ly3mi3gl2q]

I SO AGREE ! 😂 SHES A MULTIPLE OF ARTISTS WRAPPED IN ONE. LOVE WILLOW

[@k_spats]

Also, a little Karen O from the, "Yeah Yeah Yeahs." 💜💫✌🏼🎵

[@hannadiamandis6053]

It's giving Portishead too!!!❤

[@brian19711]

Relax

[@JasminesRooms]

A lot of Willow's songs sound like they should be on movie soundtracks. They really will set a whole mood. Love Willow! 💕

I was thinking the same lol

[@colonelwinstonbradford7646]

I agree !! I’m like Willow I can’t with you this is giving me too many feelings

[@sheenascott9113]

I love her voice and originality. Her vibe is different and refreshing.

[@DanielleLoxs]

It’s the Afro for me 😍😍😍

[@Ramona1164]

Me too and the look 🔥🔥🔥👊🏾🫶🏾

[@KENFINITY_3K]

I 2nd and 3rd this statement

[@user-kf2oi4sq5b]

I'd like to fourth and fifth this statement. The elegance and class of that afro is what we need 🙌🏽

[@Mz.B_85]

Yes. She’s wearing that Fro and it looks good on her.

[@judigemini178]

Ikr! That fro is immaculate and it looks really soft too

[@Greybell]

@@freakout8359 Two things can be true??? She is gifted, as in talented. And she worked to create art.

[@passionate322]

I love that she carved out her own niche and is unapologetic for doing just that.

[@girlonfireproductions]

I'm so glad Willow kept making music, growing, and finding her sound because this era has been magical. 🥰

[@ames-inthe-grass]

i feel the same way

[@bettycollie1763]

Willow is so talented. She seems so much more mature and knowledgeable than her age. A lot of people verbalized thinking Will and Jada may have given she and her brother too much freedom but she seems to be one of those rare cases that most things for her chart positive. I certainly hope so. I really like her and I think she could end up being the most talented in the family. She really knows how to present and carry herself, in my opinion.

[@trenathornton4399]

Love This

[@barbielocs0074]

This is a 007 Bond movie worthy sound- definitely a Grammy masterpiece

[@woodie62]

Without a doubt.

[@coraljuke4391]

Yes yes the vibe is perfect!

[@deereynolds3341]

Yes sir

[@mitziphillips9889]

My exact thought!

[@fermintenava5911]

Idk how well a bond movie meshes with an album about substance abuse, but okay...

[@moonshadow941]

If this album doesn't get a grammy nomination its highway robery

[@casper4386]

right

[@dakota3275]

are you ill?

[@Jyroxcarib]

It's not outside of her purview

Literally!🤎

[@TheFantasyClinic]

If people could just forget who her parents are for just a minute and enjoy her brilliance....love seeing her settle comfortably in her own skin, creating her own lane...oh and the St. Vincent collab is fierce as f!

[@VivSees]

What? 🙄 Her gift is magic but She’ll always be a PRODUCT of her parents.

[@cmt16p1]

No one is thinking about her parents listening to this

[@JoAnnCSimon]

If her parents weren't embarrassing the family bloodline she could flourish even more

Why? Who are her parents?

[@LorettaGubin]

The whole family is weird, they all live under the weird Hollywood gay shit, and destroy lives and take and steal from other and it's sicking 2 see that all u people r under a demon spell, it's sad I will pray 4 u all...

[@skoc-888]

yes exactly that

[@thesigmaenigma9102]

These two voices together...velvet for the ears.

[@MyYorkiePies]

I'm 50 and new to joining the Willow branch.... This is my first time hearing this song and I'm loving it. It reminds me of that moment spring kisses summer and the wind is blowing leaves in the distant, the sun is shining sleepiness hews of touchable warmth on your skin and nature is waving hello... I just need a glass of lemonade and life is slowed.❤❤❤❤

[@nettluv4632]

The Poetry ! I love it! I couldn't expressed like you did. Thank you.

I used to get bullied for wearing my hair out. Seeing your video has healed my inner child. Keep paving the way for the natural haired girlies Willow you look great!

[@Lola.185]

This album is magical. Like being lost in a dream. The 90s sound is perfect

[@youngbr1120]

The 90’s sound is so damn good.

[@serenahill1398]

Her music style to me is for movies . Beautiful voice.

[@BanjeeAkaMarkee]

Ever since willow started dropping her own genre of music I have BEEN OBSESSED!!!

[@orionishi6737]

Her own genre ....? Where? Very much a style that has existed for awhile.

[@focussport]

This is has been St. Vincents and hundreds of others style for decades now... its a nice song, but its as "revolutionary" as Jojo Siwa using someone elses song and claiming she invented gay pop.

[@a-lee-legendaryis-forever6045]

What own genre? Nothing new under the sun...

[@thatblondeVA]

@@orionishi6737 what is this genre called?

[@orionishi6737]

@@thatblondeVA alternative/indie Like alt rock, r&b, hip hop, pop but a blend... Like most music of the last decade or so. Still good music but not anything ground breaking when it comes down to it. A good voice and money for marketing...not to mention a pretty face, goes a long way.

[@patriciamorris1112]

This is the first time I've heard any of her music, her voice is strong and amazing. Nice.

[@ryanlkobe2975]

This is real music. you don't only hear it but you feel it too...Thanks Willow...
