Breath youtu.be/79CTZzoQlrM?si=gaYW… via @YouTube
For everyone who has been gaslit into doubting their own memory, instincts or reality—
Breath is for you.
I wrote it from the place where silence ends and sovereignty returns:
“There will never be a room with you in it safe for me—and those breaths we once took are the last we’ll share.”
Out today.

DARK SHORE PRESS | NEW MUSIC RELEASE
WHAT WAS, STILL IS
Vanessa Macaulay
A song about the persistence of love, the passage of time, and the curious truth that what has ended may never entirely disappear.
Built around a hypnotic, recurring refrain, a haunting piano motif and Macaulay's distinctive contralto, What Was, Still Is explores the rhythms of the human heart, both physiological and emotional.
Spare in language, rich in possible meanings, the song allows its melody and repetition to carry what words alone cannot.
A new release from Vanessa Macaulay, and part of her forthcoming album, Samara.
Dark Shore Press
Music, poetry and the hidden architectures of being human.
We're delighted to reveal the cover of Samara, the forthcoming album from Vanessa Macaulay.
Songs of love, memory, consequence and renewal.
An album where endings become beginnings, and the past casts its light upon the present.
Release details to follow.

Love may return unbidden. Reconciliation asks something more.
A new song about the distance between reaching for someone and being received.
Beneath the falling leaves, the sycamore endures.
🌳 COMING SOON | VANESSA MACAULAY
The Sycamore
A new song exploring memory, reconciliation and the limits of forgiveness.
Beneath its autumnal imagery lies a question: what remains when the possibility of reaching one another has finally disappeared?
Written by Vanessa Macaulay.

One of her most heart-felt songs.
“While there is life, atonement remains possible. It begins when we are willing to let the curated story fall away and face what remains. The best in you may not undo the worst, but it can still choose what happens next.”

Dark Shore Press presents Vanessa Macaulay’s A Measure of Affection in two versions, including the You Should Love Me Edit.
A Measure of Affection (You Should Love Me) youtu.be/2bUJF_giqEE?si=W5FC… via @YouTube
Two different measures of the same absence.
I love them both, but the You Should Love Me Edit is the one that reaches deepest into me.
Perhaps you will hear something in one that the other leaves unsaid.
Both out now. Which one finds you? x

🎶If you want my affection
be affectionate🎶
You know what to do
With gratitude 💓
Why does this feel like goodbye (Arrivederci Edit) youtu.be/tA5WutYirXY?si=R_NA… via @YouTube
Last year I spent 2 months in hospital, culminating in open heart surgery - this is the last of the songs I wrote during that period.
With enormous gratitude to Mr Shakil Farid at Royal Papworth and Claydon Ward Ipswich hospital and Dr Blore and his team for getting me there!

Want to play Consequences?
I Called It Consequence (Waterton Park) youtu.be/XcGqkjEkGiI?si=e-N2… via @YouTube
A song about the strange distance between memory and accountability, and the human capacity to leave things unrepaired until time itself begins closing the door.

**This is the companion piece to Breath. I could have left it on the shelf, but I wrote it thinking of those of us who lack that final measure of courage or resolve to repair the harm we’ve done - while we still can.
Where there’s breath, there’s a chance to make things right. x**
