Vapour by Zoe Wren
Vapour is a cinematic folk-rock song with a fierce and upbeat vibe, and a strong message. It was inspired by the story of Jeannie Rousseau, a WWII spy who was underestimated as a woman, which was precisely what made her so dangerous. It's the first song I wrote on my Ableton Push 2 looper, making use of a repeating guitar motif, which has made it quite different from my previous releases. I hope you enjoy listening!
The music video, a cinematic vintage spy thriller, is out on YouTube now: https://youtu.be/29KX6Fg-yLI
I have my Twitch community to thank for crowdfunding the video. Thank you to everyone who supported me!

Lyrics
I sit watching with steady hands
While you're sipping your whiskey
And spilling your plans
Always listening, never heard
I'll make weapons out of
Your every word
Every word
I lay low and I watch the sky
I'm not looking for a saviour
I'm looking for a sign
Wide eyes memorise every clue
Your pride's gonna get
The best of you
The best of you
I know that you're closing in on me
On what's hidden in my memory
But you can't catch me now
Cause I'm vapour
Burning paper
And you can't pin me down
Cause I can run faster
And I'll outlast you
A night train meeting
A code to keep
From Paris to Vichy
From shallow to deep
No medallion, no grand parade
But I'll never forget
The price I paid
The price I paid
I know that you're closing in on me
On what's hidden in my memory
But you can't catch me now
Cause I'm vapour
Burning paper
And you can't pin me down
Cause I can run faster
And I'll outlast you
No you can't catch me now
Cause I'm vapour
Burning paper
And you can't pin me down
Cause I can run faster
And I'll outlast you
