Can't forgive my...
Can't forgive my...
How can you stand yourself
How can you
When I buy the lies you sell
Does it see you through
Don't fool don't fool don't fool yourself
You just repeat what someone said
Don't fool don't fool don't fool yourself
There's only one regret
Can't forgive my...
Can't forgive my...
How could I have been so blind
Such a hypocrite
I messed up the wrong the right
You're so full of it
Don't fool don't fool don't fool yourself
You've lost your chance to overtake
Don't fool don't fool don't fool yourself
There's only one mistake
Take take take take
Can't forgive myself
Can't forgive myself
Can't forgive myself
Can't forgive myself

I wish I were as strong as once I thought I was
I wish I could allow myself to take a pause
To touch the ground and bounce up
And take your hand and find the words to cheer you up
But every night
I'm searching in my mind
For something I can say
To live another day
And every day
I'm running out of lines
I just pretend I'm fine
And what I do
I'm lying to you
And I'm lying to myself
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing to be said
And I'm lying to you
And I'm lying to myself
Cause if we don't believe
Then we're already dead
And I'm lying to myself
I'm lying to you
I'm lying to myself
I'm lying to you
I wish I could erase it all and start anew
Adjust the angle for a better point of you
And break the spell breath in the air
And look into your eyes and see that you're not scared
But every night
I'm searching in my mind
For something I can say
To live another day
And every day
I'm running out of lines
I just pretend I'm fine
And what I do
I'm lying to you
And I'm lying to myself
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing to be said
And I'm lying to you
And I'm lying to myself
Cause if we don't believe
Then we're already dead
And I'm lying to myself
I'm lying to you
I'm lying to myself
I'm lying to you

about
Can't Forgive Myself + Another Day (single, 2023)
The first single from VEiiLA's new album Sentimental Craving For Beauty coming September 8th, 2023, on the legendary Projekt Records (Portland, Oregon, US)
From the official press-release:
In anticipation of their Sentimental Craving For Beauty album, VEiiLA reveals two advance tracks with a bare minimalist palette — the stripped down production clears space for the vocals' hypnotic swirl, murmuring their intimate allegories of universal indifference and lost hope.
"Can't Forgive Myself" investigates themes of regret. Regret of a specific quality caused by childlike naivety mistaking cynical manipulations of the grown-up world for genuine kindness and decency. Everyone gets to this epiphany when growing up, and almost everyone manages to grow a thick layer of skin — vigilant skepticism with scoffing disdain for the mere idea of purity. But what about those who don't grow up? Those whose innocent beliefs survive and linger? Those who cherish their immature idealism to the last, forever opposing it to the vulgarity of real life? Well, life is life and sooner or later everyone has to face it.
Under the surface of the seemingly unpretentious lounge ballad "Another Day" dwells what may be one of VEiiLA's gloomiest songs. With melancholic detachment, Vif's soft vocals rest on a minimal underwater arrangement that forces the ear to pay attention to the desperate lyrics. Revolving thematically around lies, VEiiLA presents lying as the last resort in the game of clinging to life.
Hidden beneath seductive mellow electronics, translucent guitars, soft enthralling percussion, synth bass and tantalizing, alluring vocals dwell the paralyzing vapors of venomous despair and inevitable pain of human existence. All of which is contrasted by a catchy beat and sensual downtempo context.

I discovered VEiiLA via the YouTube video of “Can’t Forgive Myself” and was immediately entranced. With vocals that range from breathy and reverb-drenched to raw and insistent, with crystalline guitar phrases and hooks, plus low frequency beats/synths that will rattle your windows and annoy your neighbours, this album is beautifully dark and draws you deep into its own world of atmospheric introspection.

Because Sam is singular talent. Aside from that he is a lover of music and the musicians advocate. His label has been a launching pad for more bands than I can count and he just has an ear for great music.
