Elfi - running wild

The first time we heard Elfi's voice was when she submitted her debut single "dream of me" through our submission form on Indie Music Center. We literally fell for this little lady from the Netherlands, now living in London. Just through her voice, you can sense an alluring fragility.

And she did it again just a few days before this magazine's deadline, with her second single "running wild," which gave us even stronger chills. So, it's this song that we decided to officially present to you, although we certainly invite you to listen to the first single. And if, like us, you become addicted to this stunning voice, we have great news for you: she is releasing an EP on November 22, called "bitter into glitter." We had the chance to listen to it, and believe us, it's solid.

The song has been added to "Niko's Music Mixtape", our monthly virtual CD on Spotify.

A bit more about Elfi

I am a Dutch independent singer-songwriter living in London. Last year, I got selected for the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) as a vocalist. So I quit my full-time marketing job and moved to the UK. My genre is a mix of soul, pop, and a dash of folk - resulting in something I like to call... glittery :) My music captures deeply personal experiences.

Lyrics

Do you still hear me talk in my sleep?

Cause I still see you in my dreams

All my friends tell me to let it be

But do you still dream of me?

They say hearts heal with time

Why is it still you behind my eyes?

Trust me it would be wise to let it be

But do you still dream of me?

And I meet you, in all my dreams

Lost in blue, sweet fantasy

Don’t want the lights, let me hold my peace

Cause in the dark, you’re still here with me

But do you still dream of me?

Now I’m scared of moonlight

Don’t want another trick in the night

I know I loved you more than you loved me

But do you still dream of me?

How am I supposed to let it go

When he’s the only one who really knows?

What haunts me in the nights

We never got it right

And I meet you, in all my dreams

Lost in blue, sweet fantasy

Don’t want the lights, let me hold my peace

Cause in the dark, you’re still here with me

But do you still dream of me?

From dreams to nightmares

From caring to long stares

It’s a chain reaction

Can’t burn this venom

What do I do?

Don’t want this world without you

And I meet you, in all my dreams

Lost in blue, sweet fantasy

Don’t want the lights, let me hold my peace

Cause in the dark, you’re still here with me

What do I do?

Cause I still dream of you

Hmm hmm

Ah

Oh
