about
There is a magic in the air as daylight shifts to moonlight, and the world seems to glow in blues and purples. Like a passing thought can grow into a deep emotion, "Twilight Champagne" opens with only piano and vocals, until the two become swept up and enveloped in sparkling synths. In this indie pop daydream, Giana Luna invites us into the depths of her heart as she paints the picture of a wistful, rainy summer evening of yearning to be noticed in a crowded room.
lyrics
(Verse)
I seem to water all the wrong flowers.
I seem to travel far in my dreams.
I find myself counting all the hours
'til I can pretend you're next to me.
Oh, we could dance. We could cook a meal.
We could take things slowly; help each other heal.
(Chorus)
You've got everyone talking high praise,
and I dip, and I dip, out of sight.
I am just another person
who is stunned, enchanted by your light.
The room seems full. I feel the pull
to blend into the wall.
I can't dip my toes into the water
after all.
After all.
(Verse)
I seem to reach my hand into darkness
and expect to pull back the sun.
I find myself always making bargains
with the shadows that tell me run.
Oh, it never ends.
My heart's swimming again.
And I have absolutely no defense.
(Chorus)
You've got everyone talking high praise,
and I dip, and I dip, out of sight.
I am just another person
who is stunned, enchanted by your light.
The room seems full. I feel the pull
to blend into the wall.
I can't dip my toes into the water
after all.
Still, I fall.
(Bridge)
I smell vanilla in the nighttime summer rain.
It scatters all of my thoughts, that twilight champagne.
But I'll close my umbrella even if it makes me insane.
I'll sit outside for hours. I don't even feel the pain.
(Chorus 2x)
You've got everyone talking high praise,
and I dip, and I dip, out of sight.
I am just another person
who is stunned, enchanted by your light.
The room seems full. I feel the pull
to blend into the wall.
I can't dip my toes into the water...
(Chorus)
You've got everyone talking high praise,
and I dip, and I dip, out of sight.
I am just another person
who is stunned, enchanted by your light.
The room seems full. I feel the pull
to blend into the wall.
I can't dip my toes into the water
after all.
(Outro)
I smell vanilla in the nighttime summer rain. (After all)
It scatters all of my thoughts, that twilight champagne. (Still, I fall)
