Nussy Andrews - Swingset in The Sand

Copied!

Oh, the clouds
How it must feel
To belong to nothing real
To escape the sun's warm light
In the shade of night
Where the cold wind burns you
Dear

I only miss him when I'm alone
I feel those tailwinds pulling me home
To that place so dark and familiar
To that place It feels like
Nothing even matters much
At all

And I know it all too well
That road to heaven lost in hell
Well, sometimes
I find I miss the way it hurts
The ugly friendship of a burn
I hope you never learn
To love like that
Its easier to escape
If there's nothing even left for you to earn

It feels like I'm never where I am
On a swingset in the sand
The devil found me and we touched
It didn't hurt so bad but he took so much from me
And it echos through my blood
Burning holes inside of everything I trust

Biography

edit bio

Nussy Andrews (They/She) is a singer and songwriter based in NYC. Their work is heavily inspired by the likes of Kate Bush, Joanna
Newsom, Elliott Smith, and Fiona Apple. All of their work is self-produced and self-recorded.

Their debut album, “I just keep losing my
mind, can you hold onto it for me?” was written over the course of 6 years and recorded entirely in her childhood home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nussy’s music often contains lyrical duality, vacillating between quippy sardonicism and brutal vulnerability. Their roots lie in classic American standards such as the compositions of Cy Coleman and George Gershwin.

In 2021 Nussy released their second album “Ugly Duckling.” The album is 10 songs chronicling her struggles with mental illness, gender dysphoria, and addiction. Ugly Duckling was initially recorded at the same time as Nussy’s previous album, with additional songs and instrumentation added after “I just keep losing my minds…” was released. The chord modulations and lyrical compositions were
described by critics as “haunting and poetic…. The stripped-back quality of the instrumentation combined with the bitter depths the songwriting dives head first into creates an equally stoic and
emotionally volatile album.” Ugly Duckling was released impropteau in May and all proceeds made from it are pledged to various charities.

in July of 2021 Nussy revealed she has been working on a third album,
“The Pattern is Saturnian,” her first studio album.
