All you left was smoke.

NOT ENOUGH
Song & lyrics: Vina Nguyen (May 14, 2018)


You blow smoke in my face,
flick the ash and you turn.
You turn, you turn to walk
away.

Blue streetlight filters in.
I’m staring up at the ceiling.
No birds, no birds were out
today.

I pull away brick by brick,
cut the trees and I ask:
Did we really, did we really try
hard enough?

Maybe it was not enough
and I just couldn’t give
up who I
am.

Maybe it was not enough
and you just couldn’t give
up what you
need.

You blow smoke in my face,
flick the ash and you turn.
You turn, you turn to walk
away.

Blue streetlight filters in.
I’m staring up at the ceiling.
No birds, no birds were out
today.

I saunter across the empty street,
hear your voice, missing your heat.
Did we really, did we really try
hard enough?

Maybe it was not enough
and I just couldn’t give
up who I
am.

Maybe it was not enough
and you just couldn’t give
up what you
need.

Maybe we were not enough
when we’re broken and in
love, now I
see.

Maybe we were not enough,
break me down, set you free.
Oh, that’s what we
need.

Vina After Dark Calgary, Alberta

Lianne La Havas meets Kan Wakan at a Portishead concert.

Vina After Dark’s warm siren vocals will raise goosebumps across your skin as you head-nod to chilled out drums, groovy bass, and ethereal, crying guitar lines.

And if you’re lyrically focused, you’re in luck: think Emily Haines’s poetic acuity with Nina Simone’s tender sparseness.

Meet broody trip-hop x contemporary pop.
