about

Sundown was the song that paved the way to Nicole's first solo album. A song about finding peace with the past, present and future. Written as a way to process the feelings of being far away from family, in particular from her mother, who is watching her own mother slowly fade away from dementia.

lyrics

Climb in to the garden of sleep
It’s time to get up off your knees
Won’t do good in the long run
When there’s too much to be, to become now

Better leave in the light of the Sundown
Than to live in the dark of the Sundown

You want it to be over, over
You want it to be over, over
I know you want it over, over
I know you want it over, over

When I see your body now
Time it didn’t care what it threw out
Daughters indebted, Mothers bound
Growing I found my way out

Better leave in the light of the Sundown
Than to live in the dark of the Sundown

You want it to be over, over
You want it to be over, over
I know you want it over, over
I know you want it over, over

You’re gonna see me walking with my head held high
Another generation traumatised
But with some hand-held healing we can make it right

When you see that my line isn’t coming out of violence
Instead of silence the boundaries that saves us
Will be as loud as the history that made us
