Australian singer-songwriter Emma Louise goes ahead with the promotion of her second studio LP “Supercry”, which was released on July 15.
Fourth single is the beautiful “Illuminate”.
Directed by Dylan Duclos, who previously filmed singer’s “West end kids” video, the clip is a heavily choreographed effort featuring numerous dancers who flow with the music and surround Louise herself, who ebbs and flows as she tries to break out of the dark.
“Illuminate” is about coming out of a dark time and being determined to turn yourself around for good” said Emma about the track. “It’s about the return of colour and a celebration of the newness in the times ahead. It’s about breaking out of a shell and being like “wassup world I’m back motherfuckers!”
Lyrics:
At first I was the dark side of the blade
Stay inside and be still
Maybe they’ll think I’m still the same
And nobody will notice
If I break down, break down inside
I break down, break down
Shake me ’till I wake
I know I’m brave
I know I’m braver than this
Break this bond I’ve made
I’ll illuminate, I’ll illuminate
Watch me, I’ll illuminate
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
Watch me I’ll illuminate
And have you ever held silence like a knife
To protect yourself from feeling something you know
Will burn inside
Oh, well I was on fire, on fire all the time
Now I’m just alive, alive
Watch me I’ll illuminate
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
Watch me I’ll illuminate
But I’m spinnin’ in slow motion
I am aluminous like this
I’m spinnin’ in slow motion
I am aluminous like this
I’m spinnin’ in slow motion
I am aluminous like this
I’m spinnin’ in slow motion
Watch me I’ll illuminate
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
I am one million colors in one
I am one, one in a million
I am one million colors in one
I am one in a million
Watch me I’ll illuminate
