In keeping with the New Year vibe and what that usually brings, this week’s theme is: Wish.
I found the song Guest Room, and thus the band Echos, while searching for new music—as I randomly do whenever I get bored with my current playlist. Alexandra Norton’s voice flowed right into my soul and took hold. The lyrics instantly resonated with me on every level, capturing my heart and mind… then making me grin so wildly, my cheeks hurt.
Here was this young woman who sounds like a European Folksinger dropping the F-bomb like a rapper. 😂 I knew I’d be a fan for life! I especially love the lyrics where she sardonically takes the blame for being screwed over.

Lyrics
I know that I’m better off on my own
I wish I never let you sleep in my room
Been thinking about a way that I could take back
The night I lost myself in you
You know that every time I hear your name, I replay
Your fingertips against my frame, and lose faith
Been praying for way that I could feel saved
But I’ll never get over you
Wish that I had never let you love me
Although, you said you never did
I wish you would’ve slept in the guest room
‘Cuz maybe I’d still feel alive without you
I’m pretty sure that all of this was my fault
I’m the one who kissed you first and took my clothes off
I wish you would’ve slept in the guest room
‘Cuz maybe I’d still feel alive without you
I’m pretty sure that all of this was my fault
I’m the one who kissed you first and took my clothes off
You know how to make me feel all alone
But when I’m underneath your teeth it feels just like home
You said that we shouldn’t make love and just fucking
Find another way to heal
You know you drain me of myself ’till I can’t see straight
Been thinking about your body in the worst way
Wish that I could remove you from my veins
‘Cuz I’m sick of feeling so betrayed
Wish that I’d never let you love me
Although, you said you never did
I wish you would’ve slept in the guest room
‘Cuz maybe I’d still feel alive without you
I’m pretty sure that all of this was my fault
I’m the one who kissed you first and took my clothes off
I wish you would’ve slept in the guest room
‘Cuz maybe I’d still feel alive without you
I’m pretty sure that all of this was my fault
I’m the one who kissed you first and took my clothes off
I thought I meant something to you
More than skin to put your skin on
And I thought I meant something to you
I wish you would’ve slept in the guest room
‘Cuz maybe I’d still feel alive without you
I’m pretty sure that all of this was my fault
I’m the one who kissed you first and took my clothes off
I wish you would’ve slept in the guest room
‘Cuz maybe I’d still feel alive without you
I’m pretty sure that all of this was my fault
I’m the one who kissed you first and took my clothes off
