YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB - Fading Away

〈verse 1〉:
Will i ever be at peace
Now that you’re gone?
I know it’s been a couple years
But it’s hard to move on

〈pre-chorus〉:
Glowing stickers on the ceiling
So far from this feeling
Like distant cries in the open
Smiling when i’m bleeding
Words without a meaning
Just going through the motions

〈chorus〉:
I’m lost in the sound
And i need you now
But you’re fading away
No i won’t be found
Lost in the crowd
Faces all around
But you’re fading away
Yeah it’s too late now
I’m lost in the sound
And i need you now
But you’re fading away
No i won’t be found
Lost in the crowd
Faces all around
But you’re fading away
Yeah you’re fading away

〈verse 2〉:
Can’t say goodbye to yesterday
I hold on to it when things get rough
But you’re slowly drifting away
Drifting on the oceans between us

〈pre-chorus〉:
Glowing stickers on the ceiling
So far from this feeling
Like distant cries in the open
Smiling when i’m bleeding
Words without a meaning
Just going through the motions

〈chorus〉:
I’m lost in the sound
And i need you now
But you’re fading away
No i won’t be found
Lost in the crowd
Faces all around
But you’re fading away
Yeah it’s too late now
I’m lost in the sound
And i need you now
But you’re fading away
No i won’t be found
Lost in the crowd
Faces all around
But you’re fading away
Yeah you’re fading away

〈bridge〉:
All the memories are getting mixed up in my head
Like pieces of sun floating on the sea at sundown
But i’ll always remember all the things you said
Cause your heart beats in mine

〈chorus〉:
I’m lost in the sound
And i need you now
But you’re fading away
No i won’t be found
Lost in the crowd
Faces all around
But you’re fading away
Yeah it’s too late now
I’m lost in the sound
And i need you now
But you’re fading away
No i won’t be found
Lost in the crowd
Faces all around
But you’re fading away
Yeah you’re fading away

22 year-old French singer, songwriter, producer and mix engineer YAOUNDÉBOXINGCLUB has been quietly working on new music in the past year whilst producing and engineering for other artists. When she previously performed as MJ Bodson, she was known for her minimalist approach to songwriting and producing. After much thought and a rebrand, she’s approaching music differently — infusing alternative pop with sprinkles of popular African music such as soukous and makossa, as well as alternative R&B and Garage to create her own unique sound.
