The story of

How Soon Is Now? [cover]

single / 2026-04-10
synthpop, cover / synths, drums, vocals

Imagine the ethereality of Enya and softness of Billie Eilish’s voice, fused with the unmistakable attitude of The Smiths. You’d get… this dreamy, synth-driven cover version of How Soon Is Now? It’s a bold reimagining – daring yet shy, powerfully blurry, with softness intertwined with the punch of Morrissey’s iconic lyricism.

“We wanted to honor what makes this song so incredibly unique while pouring our own souls in it at the same time,” says Tilly. “Honestly, working on it made me fall in love with it all over again.”

& lyrics

I am the son and the heir
 Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
 I am the son and the heir
 Of nothing in particular
 
 You shut your mouth
 How can you say
 I go about things the wrong way?
 I am human and I need to be loved
 Just like everybody else does
 
 I am the son and the heir
 Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
 I am the son and the heir
 Of nothing in particular
 
 You shut your mouth
 How can you say
 I go about things the wrong way?
 I am human and I need to be loved
 Just like everybody else does
 
 There's a club if you like to go
 You could meet somebody
 So you go and you stand on your own
 And you leave on your own
 And you go home, and you cry
 And you want to die
 
 When you say it's gonna happen now
 What exactly do you mean?
 See I've already waited too long
 And all my hope is gone
 
 You shut your mouth
 How can you say
 I go about things the wrong way?
 I am human and I need to be loved
 Just like everybody else does
 
 Just like everybody else
 Just like everybody
