Eliza Lyrics


The lonely won’t hold me for good
Peaceful is gleaming she stood
To see her, to be her, to change
As if like a kiss we’re the same
So hold me up, hold me up
If only I could be you

Eliza
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza

My sister, my pistol below
If you could know all that I know
I’m falling, no warning, no way
Tomorrow, tomorrow’s too late
So hold me up, hold me up
I know that I could be you

Eliza
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza

So priceless and godless I wait
To leave this soul behind
Untangle the jangle of bells
They ring my fear through the night

  • This cinematic strum was released as the first single from Anna Calvi's second album, One Breath. The song was premiered on August 19, 2013 at 11am on Lauren Laverne's BBC Radio 6 Music show.
  • Calvi explained the song's meaning to NME: "It's about a woman I've seen who is beautiful, calm and serene. It's about wishing you could just take your soul out and become that person; about getting to a point where you're so stuck that you would be happy to forsake everything you are in order to become someone else."
  • Calvi told Pitchfork that the song is about, "seeing a strong and beautiful woman who reminds you of a part of yourself that has got lost somehow, and striving to become that person again."
  • The song's Emma Nathan-directed music video follows the song's lyrical concept by sending Calvi on a chase to find herself. We see the singer-guitarist running through a forest as she attempts to catch the mysterious figure ahead of her.

    Suddenly Lyrics


    Suddenly
  • This is the opening track of British singer-songwriter Anna Calvi's second album, One Breath. She explained to NME: "It's about a depression that you don't really know how to overcome, but you know that you don't want to feel it any more, so you just walk away from it. Is it autobiographical? Yes. This record is more about things that are going on in my life."
  • Much of One Breath was inspired by the depression that dogged Calvi throughout its recording. "I don't think I have any control over my emotions," she told NME of her turmoil. "It's a problem in my life, but in my music it's great. I think the feeling of not being on stable ground is what makes art interesting."

    In a later interview with The Independent, Calvi stated that her emotional ups and downs do not signify an album about depression. "It's much more about the feeling of hope that things will get better," she explained, "that there's limitless potential to every moment because the future isn't already written."

  • Calvi explained the background to this song to NME: "This is about how you feel when someone expresses their love for you. The guitar comes in really strong because I wanted to use it as the emotional access point of the song. It can be any expression of love: affection, jealousy, whatever."

  • This song is a homage to the Opera singer Maria Callas, whose music Calvi discovered as a child through her Italian father's record collection.

    Maria Callas (1923 – 1977) was born in New York to Greek parents. Blessed with a soprano voice of fine range and a gift for dramatic expression, Callas was one of the most renowned and influential Opera singers of the 20th century.
  • The video was filmed on location in Mexico by Calvi's long term collaborator Emma Nathan.
