The story of

right // left [&Tilly x BlauDisS]

single / 2025-02-05
trip-hop, downtempo / synths, drums, vocals

right // left has a haunting, lullaby-like quality I came to love so much, in our music as well as others'... A fourth collaboration with our D.C. friend BlauDiss, right // left is calming and enveloping, filled with blurry images, imprecise memories, and unfinished thoughts, mirroring a story both complex and unresolved...

"It’s unapologetically dark, but approachable. Even graceful and beautiful within its perceived tortured state [The Wild Is Calling]"

The song is written from the perspective of the daughter of Sarah "Sally" Hemings, Thomas Jefferson’s enslaved lover. In the lyrics, “she” refers to her mother, while “he” reflects her controversial father, who, in this story, may have wanted to do the right thing but felt unable, or unwilling, to fully act on it much like the history tells us. Heavy? Well, yeah... The song is still soft and lulling you to daydream, and I hope you'll love its poetic vibrations just as much as we do.

& lyrics

He was right
 He went left
 He was right
 And all are…
 
 Right now
 She’s left here
 Right now
 She’s left me
 Right now
 Won’t get free
 A hundred years
 Fulfills these dreams
 
 But right now
 Right now
 Right now
 She’s left here
 
 He was right
 And all are…
 
 He was right
 And all are equal
 He went left
 He just circled
 He was right
 And all are
 All are 
 Left
 
 But he was right
