Real 04:34
She lit the candles as she handed me the ice I was lost in her deep blue eyes She grabbed my hand, she swung around, she pushed me to the edge. Was loosing consciousness while hearing her say. This isn’t real, Forget your fears, Let go, just follow the voice, I’ll fill your void. Her light blinded me as she dragged me through the room The smoke hid her smooth perfume All happened fast, we danced so close, was falling into the blue My head was spinning when I heard her say This isn’t real, Forget your fears, Let go, just follow the voice, I’ll fill your void. Then everything, turned green My sight was blurred, I lost control The room got smaller, her touch got colder, Her light dimmed, I couldn’t dream. I don’t remember what happened then Everything faded through my fingers when All what was left was her voice in my head saying over, and over again. This isn’t real, Forget your fears, I’ll fill your void. This isn’t real, Forget your fears.

about

Nominated for “Best Pop Artist of the Year”, “Best Rock Artist of the Year” and “Best Album of the Year” by All Indie Music Awards 2012, The Controversy is an indie rock band based in Los Angeles, CA. What started out as The Controversy’s lead singer Laura Vall solo project, quickly evolved into a more mature sound with the increasing involvement of the guitar player, co-writer and co-producer of the project Thomas Hjorth. The Controversy’s first album (still released under Laura Vall) “Real” has received critical acclaimed reviews, describing it as “stunning”, “off the hook”, “Rich songs with powerful lyrics and musical serenity”, “refreshing change from the overproduced pop” and “unique, powerfully emotional, honest and ethereal”.
