Save It 03:34
They told me patience brings in light But I’ve been without your love, I don’t feel without your love They said your kiss would poison mine And it’s nothing I can trust But my veins won’t ease the flood, Cos I still can’t get enough. Save it. You don’t have it in your power To make me black out every flame I’m bound to you until the end, oh yeah Save it. You don’t have it in your power To make me black out every flame. I’m bound to you until the end, oh yeah. Tie me with rope and chase the wild. Take me high and feed the rush Cos at times I don’t feel much Voices of old would criticize Seeing gold turn into rust Gold turn into rust When I’ve been without you. Save it. You don’t have it in your power To make me black out every flame. I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah. Save it. You don’t have it in your power To make me black out every flame. I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah. Why you fighting me? This love won’t leave. We’re feeding the fire, I feel it in my heart Don’t you give up on me Why you fighting me? This love won’t leave. We’re feeding the fire, I feel it in my heart, Don’t you give up on me Save it. You don’t have it in your power To make me black out every flame. I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah. Save it. You don’t have it in your power To make me black out every flame. I’m bound to you until the end oh yeah

Somebody 03:50
Somebody take me away Somebody keep me away Scream inside. Could set this room alight. You got my senses high. Is she with you? Into me, like bullets through a screen My heart is no machine, and now it's thrown me down. You push the arrow in, just as I'm over the burden. I’m heading under again. Somebody take me away From love anxiety, anxiety. Somebody keep me away From love anxiety, anxiety oh. Blood shot stare. It blurs the broken air. I light a cigarette. Is she with you? Into me, like bullets through a screen. My heart is no machine and now it's thrown me down. You push the arrow in, just as I'm over the burden. I’m heading under again. Somebody take me away From love anxiety, anxiety. Somebody keep me away From love anxiety, anxiety oh. Take me, take me away.

Wilderness 03:24
We live with diamonds out of our reach Skin to skin with honesty. I never knew I was falling so deep Cos with you there’s nothing more I need. I hear your restless heart. I hear your restless heart. Run into the wilderness to be with you, Give me a love that’s true, don’t deny. Dance into the silence, I’ll be there for you. We can be free to lose our minds. Our minds. I live for diamonds buried in you. The colours we could break into. Our fate is manmade and we’re holding it back If only we could be so true. I hear your restless heart. I need your restless heart. Run into the wilderness to be with you, Give me a love that’s true, don’t deny. Dance into the silence, I’ll be there for you. We can be free to lose our minds. Our minds… Lie me on the table Shock me ’til my heart starts up again and then I’ll know. If I wake in 101 at least I know I’ve loved. Run into the wilderness to be with you, Give me a love that’s true, don’t deny. Dance into the silence, I’ll be there for you. We can be free to lose our minds. Our minds

Sober 03:38
I’m watching humans dream their dreams As I’m driving on the payment blacking out from lack of sleep. I’m addicted to money and TV And I’m smoking on the quiet downing days since you left me Oh since you left me. I’m lying with fire cos everything I touch just burns again And nobody knows I’m losing it. Do I wanna stay sober when nothing takes me over but you? And it feels too heavy? Sober, when nothing numbs the pain like you do? Now my mind’s unsteady. Day to day, it’s too clear to hideaway. It hurts more to stay sober cos nothing takes me over but you. Nothing takes me over. Waking up to the silence no air to breathe. Maybe I would be ok if I just drank some disbelief. Standing under the darkness and the cold. Now I’m freaking out the neighbours throwing diamonds in the road. Diamonds in the road. I’m lying with fire cos everything I touch just burns again And nobody knows I’m losing it. Do I wanna stay sober when nothing takes me over but you? And it feels too heavy? Sober, when nothing numbs the pain like you do? Now my mind’s unsteady. Day to day, it’s too clear to hideaway. It hurts more to stay sober cos nothing takes me over but you. Nothing takes me over.
5.
Do you see me now? I’m open for the crowd. Just close my eyes and hope that dreams won’t fade away. I’m the broken doll, spread out in your show. I live to turn my whole world on, if just for a moment. And I’ll be whatever you want me to be. Just need you to need me. Just need you to need me. And I’ll be whatever you want me to be. Just need you to need me. Just need you. Am I falling wrong? I’ll fall once more my love. How will I know when I am good, good enough? Lights are always on. Bleed out ’til I’m the one. Your eyes see through the crowded room if just for a moment. So tell me you won’t let me go. And I’ll be whatever you want me to be. Just need you to need me. Just need you to need me. And I’ll be whatever you want me to be. Just need you to need me. Just need you to need me. Hold me and say you won’t let me go, no. Hold me. Now I won’t make a sound just stay with me. Hold me and say you’ll never let me go no. And I’ll be whatever you want me to be. Just need you to need me. Just need you.

Raided 03:50
Living in a glass, there’s no one there, No one but disarray. Baby if you're lost I’ll take you there. We could be miles away, miles away. Miles away. Miles away. Don’t wanna know what I believe in. Soak up the smoke to ease the healing. I vandalize the only silence that I’ve ever known. Baby, just take me higher than the truth, we could have it all. Raided, just keep on running ’til we overload. Don’t wanna know what I believe in. Soak up the smoke to ease the healing. I vandalize the only silence that I’ve ever known. Spinning through the crowds, no light to spare, Downing this misery. Baby if I’m lost no one would care. They’d bury the remedy. Don’t wanna know what I believe in. Soak up the smoke to ease the healing. I vandalize the only silence that I’ve ever known. Baby just take me higher than the truth we could have it all. Raided, just keep on running ’til we overload. Don’t wanna know what I believe in. Soak up the smoke to ease the healing. I vandalize the only silence that I’ve ever known. I trust dark skies. Take me tonight. I trust dark skies. Take me tonight. Baby just take me higher than the truth we could have it all. Raided, just keep on running ’til we overload. Don’t wanna know what I believe in. Soak up the smoke to ease the healing. I vandalize the only silence that I’ve ever known.

Did you know that I was steeped in fire Blinded by my own desire for you. You were the healer. Was it easier to just cut the rope Than to leave me hung up on tears of hope for you. You were the healer. I put the dress on that you bought and go out to forget all. It ends in trouble. Cos I remember that day in December. I hang out with the poison boys and just let them do it all. It’s just another night against the wall Cos I remember that day in December. All I really want is one last fix And if it doesn't give me what I need I'll know. But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle. Oh, how can I begin to make this real When everything I do is made with guilt, I know That giving in is half the battle. Giving it is half the battle. Was there anything more that I should've tried? I gave all my heart ’til it pounded iron for you. You were the healer. I put the dress on that you bought and go out to forget all. It ends in trouble Cos I remember that day in December. All I really want is one last fix And if it doesn't give me what I need I'll know. But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle. Oh how can I begin to make this real When everything I do is made with guilt, I know That giving in is half the battle. Giving it is half the battle. You know this curse is electric, I know I’m not protected. It’s not enough, I’m not enough. But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle. You know this curse is electric, I know I’m not protected. It’s not enough, I’m not enough. But giving in is half the battle. Giving in is half the battle.

Blocked in and out of time. Hands gripped I analyze. Left me on broken tiles. We can make it, we can make it. Mouth wide you’re out the door. Bruises, they hurt before. Discounting every law. We can make it, we can make it right. And you know and you know and you know that you wanna try. Oh it won’t be enough to sit up and create a lie. Cos it won’t be lost, we won’t be lost. You don’t need to rescue me, rescue me if you let me go. You don’t need to rescue me cos my blood is stone. Breathe out, reach in to see Doubt kills it’s onto me. Leaving identities. We can make it, we can make it. Lay out my heart and bones. I have no more to show. Dropped it my guard it thrown. We can make it, we can make it right. And you know and you know and you know that you wanna try. You don’t need to rescue me, rescue me if you let me go. You don’t need to rescue me cos my blood is stone. Do I get another try? Or would you really leave? Don’t give it up, give it up, give it up. I raised this baring light. With it all to see. Don’t give it up, give it up, give it up. I don’t wanna fight you baby. I don’t wanna fight no more. Now it’s all on show baby. Just my heart and bones. You don’t need to rescue me, rescue me if you let me go. You don’t need to rescue me cos my blood is stone. Cos my blood is stone. Cos my blood is stone.
9.
Gripping a forty-five My fingers shake my knuckles turn white, I'm hollow, hollow. There's smoke seeping from your spine, I mouth 'give in’, your tears, not mine. I’m hollow, hollow. Don't regrets crowd up all that you are, if not more? Oh you've said enough, I’m nothing like you I know. There's nothing more to your touch. Lay it down you've taken enough. There’s nothing more to your touch. I’m trying to find my chemical rush. Our faces are wet with pride The static air kisses my bones dry, Don't follow, follow. Can’t you restrain the dark? Your howl and bite will never run far, You stumble, stumble. Don't regrets crowd up all that you are, if not more? Oh you've said enough, I’m nothing like you I know. Oh it’s never, never enough. There's nothing more to your touch. Lay it down you've taken enough. There’s nothing more to your touch. I’m trying to find my chemical rush. You always fall whenever there's someone around. You always fall whenever there's someone around. Whenever there’s someone around… Whenever there’s someone around… There's nothing more to your touch. Lay it down you've taken enough. There’s nothing more to your touch. I’m trying to find my chemical rush.

Curse You 04:03
Would you listen if I turned away from you? A crowd of choices in the head of my honest youth. I’m only human. Would you come back to me? And I go down, with my hands out reached And your voice plays round as I sink. I won’t curse you baby when we’re palm to palm If you ever let me in. I won’t push you baby when you stand in line, Taking in the oxygen. I won’t curse you baby when the blood is dry, Only when it’s running thin. I’m on the back of your heart and fully loaded. Loaded. Keep me wired as I’m guessing every word you say. We’re not expired, just let me show you make you want to stay. Would you listen? Would you come back to me? And I go down with my hands out reached And your voice plays round as I sink. I won’t curse you baby when we’re palm to palm If you ever let me in. I won’t push you baby when you stand in line, Taking in the oxygen. I won’t curse you baby when the blood is dry, Only when it’s running thin. I’m on the back of your heart and fully loaded. Loaded. I’m looking in from the outside trying to feel alive. Won’t you love again tonight? I won’t curse you baby when we’re palm to palm If you ever let me in. I won’t push you baby when you stand in line, Taking in the oxygen. I won’t curse you baby when the blood is dry, Only when it’s running thin. I’m on the back of your heart and fully loaded. Loaded.

Runaway 04:15
Did you know about it as you saw the street fill up? I took my heart and looked the other way. (I) ran my mind around it. (I) let it out a hollow blow As I lost myself beneath the bluest love. Now I know you are the one. Nothing here is what I want. With my neck in his arms, now it's time to come undone. But baby it's true…You are the reason I'd runaway. Baby it's true…Selling tomorrow for yesterday. Baby it's true…You are the reason I'd runaway. Your name it pierces my heart. I could hear the phone ring as he held me to the wall. I took my heart and looked the other way. Even in the darkness I could see the feathers fall As he shut the world away from part of me. But baby it's true…You are the reason I'd runaway. Baby it's true…Selling tomorrow for yesterday. Baby it's true…You are the reason I'd runaway. Your name it pierces my heart. Now I know you are the one. Nothing here is what I want. With my hand around the gun, now it’s time to come undone. Now it’s time to come undone. Now it’s time to come undone. Now it’s time to come undone. Now it’s time to come undone. But baby it's true…You are the reason I'd runaway. Baby it's true…Selling tomorrow for yesterday. Baby it's true…You are the reason I'd runaway. Your name it pierces my heart.

Landslide 04:09
I try and find some piece of mind With all the bullets dressed in white. You keep your tongue blunt as a knife. You always know, you know, you know know know. Oh it must be nice to black out all your doings like that. You see the weak won't go deep with the truth choking the tunnels like that. I have been a witness to the crack in your heart And I'll protest it all. I will protest it all. I'm not losing sleep over that silver building up behind your eyes. Your eyes, your eyes. And now you're heading down the landslide. Revelations gripping you tight. And now you're heading down the landslide As all your trials poison your mind. I give you one, you give me four With a little hiss and a louder roar. You’d never beg to wear the crown Sos you always know, you know, you know know know. Oh it must be nice to black out all your doings like that. You see the weak won't go deep with the truth choking the tunnels like that. And now you're heading down the landslide. Revelations gripping you tight. And now you're heading down the landslide As all your trials poison your mind. Your eyes, your eyes. The bullets push the dark out. The bullets push the dark out. The bullets push the dark out. I'm giving all the fight up oh. And now you're heading down the landslide. Revelations gripping you tight. And now you're heading down the landslide. Revelations gripping you tight. And now you're heading down the landslide As all your trials poison your mind. I have been a witness to the crack in your heart And I'll protest it all. I will protest it all. I'm not losing sleep over that silver building up behind your eyes. Your eyes, your eyes. I have been a witness to the crack in your heart And I'll protest it all. I will protest it all. I'm not losing sleep over that silver building up behind your eyes. Your eyes, your eyes. Your eyes, your eyes.

Burn for You 03:54
Give me time to be the want you want, I'm heavy with your love. I can lie beside the edge of lies, and burn for you if you ask. The skies collide, now I'm drowning under this waterfall of dust. I don't know why I'm still trying when I know I'm not good enough. I won't let you go. I can't be alone, I’ve lost enough. I’ve lost enough. I can't let you go, I won't be alone, alone. I will fight to be the one you keep to show you our love is gold. I won't weigh you down or make a sound but still you push me to go. The skies collide, now I'm drowning under this waterfall of dust. I don't know why I'm still trying when I know I'm not good enough. I won't let you go. I can't be alone, I’ve lost enough. I’ve lost enough. I can't let you go, I won't be alone, alone. I'll burn for you. I’ll die for you oh. I'll burn for you. I'll die for you, you, oh. I'll burn for you. I’ll die for you oh. I'll burn for you. I'll die for you.
14.
No Sleep 03:55
Take your hand from my thigh. You know this isn't right, we can't go there. The smoke from your mouth is rolling down spine. It shouldn't feel good. It shouldn't feel so good. But maybe…I could let it happen. No talking about it, no sleep tonight. No sleep tonight. No sleep tonight. Take the guilt off your skin And let me burn it in we can't go there, no. I'm bound in between my mind and sanity Oh it shouldn't feel good. But it feels so good. But maybe…I could let it happen. No talking about it, no sleep tonight. No sleep tonight. My blood starts sinking. My blood starts sinking. The pressure's beating. The pressure's beating. My blood starts sinking. Can’t lose this feeling. But maybe…I could let it happen. No talking about it, no sleep tonight. No sleep tonight. No sleep tonight.

about

Fast rising UK electronic singer-songwriter Salt Ashes celebrates the release of her eponymous debut album, “Salt Ashes”, available now on Radikal Records. The album stays true to the young songstress’ signature dark Pop songs and has a zeitgeist club sound, which she has become known for since bursting onto the music scene a little over three years ago.

Salt Ashes, aka Veiga Sanchez, signed with Radikal Records in early 2014 who initially released her singles “Somebody” and “If You Let Me Go,” a Top 5 record on both the Billboard and Music Week Dance Charts. She continued to build on her unique spectral synth-pop sound in 2015 with the release of her single “Raided,” a BBC Introducing and Spotify Fan favorite. All three of Salt Ashes previously released singles can be found on her debut album.

The album’s extraordinary lead in single “Save It,” co-written with Rob Irving (House of Emeralds), received strong pre-release buzz from the UK’s discovery site Record of the Day (“now comes this brilliant on-trend banger with one hell of a chorus and everything required to be an instant worldwide smash. Calvin Harris would probably kill for this tune”) and US taste-makers Idolator (“Salt Ashes has whipped up a firecracker with her new single”). Her song “Whatever You Want Me To Be”, an intimate, dynamic electronic track made it’s debut on renowned entertainment outlet WhoSay in late June and is guaranteed to be a fan favorite. The slow build-up and sultry voice in the track shows the ever-growing diversity and range of Salt Ashes sound.

The album takes listeners on a journey through love, loss, heartbreak, finding and losing yourself. When asked to describe her debut album, Salt Ashes stated “The songs are like a magnifying glass into the past 5 years of my life, so I’m hoping people will get to know me and my mind a little better.” Drawing influences from Depeche Mode, Giorgio Moroder and AlunaGeorge, the debut album establishes Salt Ashes an exciting artist to watch in the electronic music scene in 2016 and in the future.
