Feels like giving up I'm sorry for what it's done Wasn't looking for a sign Wasn't looking for a sign So maybe in another life We'd give this another try Our worlds are cut with knives Our worlds are cut with knives So give me just one more chance And I'll try the best I can Your eyes are cold as ice Your eyes are cold as ice Get the water, I get the ice Lay down and waste our time Wasn't looking for a friend Wasn't looking for a friend And I never been your type Just checked on the finish line Run a fake hologram love Strange looking from above So maybe in another life We’d give this another try Our worlds are cut with knives Our worlds are cut with knives So give me just one more chance And I'll try the best I can Your eyes are cold as ice Your eyes are cold as ice You're so boring it breaks my heart It's so sad it steals my time I'm just skipping through the parts In the film to see the crime So maybe in another life We'd give this another try Our worlds are cut with knives Our worlds are cut with knives So give me just one more chance And I'll try the best I can Your eyes are cold as ice Your eyes are cold as ice

I can tell you're giving up So I try twice as much But it's just for seconds As I keep forgetting Where you been tonight And the more you're leaving The more I'm dreaming About our future life The more you're dealing The more I'm grieving About our happy times I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you in my life You can tell I'm giving up So you try twice as much But it's just for seconds As you keep forgetting Where I been tonight But the more I'm leaving The more you're dreaming About our future life The more I'm dealing The more you're grieving About our happy times I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you in my life I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place for you I got no place I got no place you in my life

Linn RIP 02:28
I see myself in the window And I don’t like what I see I hear myself at a party And it sounds so bleak I feel myself getting drunk And everything gets weird Put me to sleep So tired of being Linn rest in peace So tired of being me Talk to me gently But also be a bit mean All these hours in expensive therapy Didn’t help a thing They say I’m my own worst enemy But no one ever puts the blame on me Put me to sleep So tired of being Linn rest in peace So tired of being me And you can say I’m doing good But then I’m not getting better And you can say I’ll be fine But that's not what they want to see Put me to sleep So tired of being Linn rest in peace So tired of being me And they can say I’m doing good But I will never do better And they can say I’ll be fine So tired of being me And they can say I’m doing good But I will never do better And they can say I’ll be fine But that's not what I want to be

Dirty Words 03:13
I won't let you go Before I make up my mind You will see who I am And you will hate it in time But I could let you love me Like I was made of glass I could let you fantasize But that will never last 'cause I only love you When you leave And I will let it drop Before it gets real You can try your dirty words And you can try on your knees And I will do my very best But the world ain't ideal And you can go ahead You can make up your mind But it's all in my hands now It’s my head wasting time Maybe if we act like More of a kind Then we could roll along And it will be a decent life But every other flower Is a shot in the dark Every time it's growing Something else falls apart So washed out now No love can stay Forever is too far To fade away You can try your dirty words And you can try on your knees And I will do my very best But the world ain't ideal And you can go ahead You can make up your mind But it's all in my hands now It's my head wasting time Whatever I say now Don't come at me We both know it's wrong So just let me have it

Wake Up 03:15
I wanna wake up to a place Where you are still beside I wanna wake up knowing You're still there I wanna wake up to a day Where we don't age I wanna wake up and not thinking About this again Do you feel were winding out Do you feel the tick of hearts Everybody leaves And everybody hurts Do you feel were winding out Do you feel the tick of hearts Everybody leaves And everybody hurts Baby close your eyes Baby close your eyes Baby close your eyes Baby close your eyes

Blow My Mind 02:34
Throw me a bone And I will give it up Like in my head Where it's all made up I do my best But still no luck So on to next To burn my cuts And I just came to destroy Same, same, same And so, so, like I can't get wrong I can't get right It breaks my heart It breaks it light I just want you to blow my mind Can you tell us apart From the bad and the wrong Or do I try too hard To tilt your bones Am I too cool for needs Am I too keen to please I wanna stay up I wanna lay down And I just came to destroy Same, same, same And so, so like I can't get wrong I can't get right It breaks my heart It breaks it light I just want you to blow my It's all the same, same, same And so, so, like I can't get wrong I can't get right It breaks my heart It breaks it light I just want you to blow my mind

Paralyzed 02:25
The cars and the trains don't look the same Neither does your mothers cottage by the lake Staring at my hands Turning pale Normally I'd run, but now I stay It gets a little wild When I'm with you But I feel alright When I'm with you The world is paralyzed When I'm with you The world is paralyzed When I'm with you

Hard to Love 03:11
Fall for my fire You fall for my heart But my lies won't make it last I try to run for my life I try to cut straight through But I can't take it back They got my number, got my place, got my email address And I can't shake them off And I got dirt on my hands I got stuff on my knees I got your blood on my palms And your skin on my jeans So hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Let me drown for a second Let me take it too far In my head where it's made up And there's a fire that I started that I can't control It was never my intention To melt it all down So hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Fed it like a fire Loved it until it grew Burning in denial Only left for you to lose Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love Hey what do you know About it Being hard to love

Lasershot 03:11
Can't live without it Can't slow myself down Hey baby do you want me? At the first or second time Squeaking little sounds When you fall asleep All your hidden secrets Just slipping from your teeth Whenever you need me love, I'll be there by your side Everyone's darling, but can't help myself out, I'm running myself down When we reached the point of anger You locked your hand around my wrist ”It feels like you are dying and nothing ever sticks” I know where you been I know where it's at Sometimes you're the worst but I will always take you back Maybe my love is a lasershot that will cut you in half Maybe my love is a lasershot that will cut you in half Maybe my love is a lasershot that will cut you in half Maybe my love is a lasershot that will cut you in half Maybe my love is a lasershot that will cut you in half

about

Since her debut in 2017, Linn Koch-Emmery has quickly established herself a rising star on the international indie scene. Now she is ready to release her debut album, Being the girl, a stellar example of contemporary indie rock in 2021. The album consists of the acclaimed singles ”Hologram Love”, ”Linn RIP” and ”Blow My Mind”, which all received strong radio support in Sweden, Norway , England and USA. Together with the recently released ”Hard to Love”, they make up four tracks from the upcoming album that will be released on May 7 2021.

”For me, songwriting has always been more about feelings than finesse. In my world, the best song is a song where you can cry and run to at the same time, that balances on the border between euphoria and sadness. This album contains everything from straightforward guitar pop songs, personal emotional holes to diary entries and dark humor and irony, as an attempt of self-distance from myself”

Being the girl is the follow-up to the EP Waves from 2018, which among other things led to being dubbed ”Future Artist” by Swedish P3 and Koch-Emmery’s first European tour with over 60 stops. Being the girl can be considered as musical diary entries that reflect parts of her life - from the time she started listening to American and British 90s bands as a 12-year-old, learned her first chords on a borrowed guitar, and became obsessed with the idea that some day get to play Wembley Stadium - to events from recent years.

Although Koch-Emmery is still true to everything that has previously characterized her, the debut album is colored by more musical influences, which takes her one step away from classic indie rock and one step closer to her own, more dynamic, sound. The album contains guitar-driven pop songs with big choruses such as ”Hologram Love” and ”Blow My Mind”, the fragile and emotional ”Paralyzed”, to ”Linn RIP” and ”Dirty Words”, both testifying dark humor and self-distance.
