“Artist to Watch alum Billie Marten has been dazzling us with her sophisticated youth since her 2016 debut Writing Of Blues And Yellows. Today the 19-year-old Yorkshire balladeer is sharing “Mice,” her first new song since that album.

The track was written on a miserable day in Cornwall but recorded in London with longtime collaborator Rich Cooper. Marten’s voice is lush and sweet and fragile while the drums crawl along in a slumber. Her lyrics are a candid analysis of self-doubt and resilience.

In a press release, she spoke of the song’s evolution:

“I felt sort of empty and lacking a lot of purpose. “Mice” came out of that sentiment which is why the drums are so lethargic and lazy. The chorus though, reflects how last year I didn’t know who to “imitate.” It seemed there was only good and bad people in black and white; I was the anomaly in the middle. Then I went walking and sat on a dead man’s bench and wrote the last verse.”” - Stereogum, Gil Green, September 9 2018

♪ lyrics ♪

[Verse 1]
I don't understand why
Most of the time
I'm living my life all wrong
I felt nothing at all
The freedom of the fall
My smile is on the backseat, the back wall

[Chorus]
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
I'm tired

[Verse 2]
I can do things
No human can do
I can doubt myself and then I'll doubt you
That's nothing new

[Chorus]
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
I'm tired

[Bridge]
And the stars, they look like little mice
To me, I am my only vice
Sat on a dead man's bench
The sun cools my neck
It covers my skin
The earth pulls me back
How 'bout that?

[Chorus]
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
Watch me as I go and separate the ones that I am made to love and hate
And slowly counting down my body weight
I'm tired
