about

A song on being new in a world of fixed social structures, where the unwritten rules are masked and self-evident.

Uncomfortably New is the fist Velvet Beings single. The 5 Velvet Beings singles and their video clips, embody being human as velvet: vulnerable, real, valuable and autonomous. The Velvet Beings music theatre will tour in Holland at the end of this year.

lyrics

Lyrics

What does it mean when you don’t fit in
What do you mean when something’s old news
And why do I keep staring at the ground
and hope he’ll swallow you up.

What is meant by not making it
Why is something good when
it’s a certain brand and, status is a thing,
and others decide your worth.

Everything feels uncomfortable
Everything feels uncomfortable
Everything feels uncomfortable
When you are new
You're new.

What does it mean when your wave your hand
What do you mean when your fists is clutched
And why do your veins look bold and blue
and your lips pressed tight and thin.

What does it mean when you close one eye
What does it mean when you make a whistling sound
And what does it mean when we’re having a drink
and your hand slides up my leg
like I’m the winners prize.

Everything feels uncomfortable
Everything feels uncomfortable
Everything feels uncomfortable
When you are new
It feels uncomfortable.

Everything feels uncomfortable
Everything feels uncomfortable
Everything feels uncomfortable
When you are new
You're new.

Everything feels uncomfortable when you are new, you are new
Everything feels uncomfortable when you are new, you are new
Everything feels uncomfortable when you are new, you are new.

This body, my body
Is no product of society
It has no duty to please
No obligation to give
Why give if everyone takes
Why give if yearning never stops
Don't they know that this body is mine
Don't they know that this body longs to be in charge.

Everything feels uncomfortable

about

Elenne May Amsterdam, Netherlands

"This is a band for people who like to listen to music, truly listen. The music is beautifully layered, breathes space as well as atmosphere, with enough left to discover. The slightly mysterious voice of singer Elenne is soft, broken and hinting at unknown things, perhaps even the mystery beyond what we can hear." - WoNoBloG ... more
