Get Lost In Someone


Lady Wray “Games People Play”

Lady Wray sings “Games People Play” from a bit of a remove, looking on at someone else making the same mistakes she’s already made in youthful relationships with a feeling of resignation – this is just what people do, the “silly shit you do when you’re young.” There’s empathy in the song and warmth in her voice, but more than anything you hear lingering pain in her phrasing and a determination that she won’t be repeating any of this as an adult. The arrangement is full of classic soul moves but there’s a chilliness to the tone, mainly in the trebly lead guitar part that runs through the center of the composition. The reverb is lovely ambiance but emphasizes the aloofness of the song, suggesting a physical and emotional distance between Wray and the music.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
