Coumarin’s brand new single ‘Remedy’ feels both like closure and a new beginning. As the final part of his ongoing series of stand-alone releases, ‘Remedy’ is both the culmination of all of Coumarin’s previous releases while at the same time presenting a whole new facet to his songbook. ‘Remedy’ is unapologetically catchy while still letting the instruments and vocals breathe in its lush soundscapes and its lyrics about dreams, love and regret.
Speaking on the meaning and creation behind ‘Remedy’, Coumarin says: “At its core, ’Remedy’ is a song about regret. A subject matter like that could easily be leaning towards a darker tone…I tried to make the listener dance to it though.
‘Remedy’ is the final song in my series of stand-alone releases and I’m really excited for it to be the end piece to this multi-year journey. While it’s always sad when a chapter like this ends, I’m incredibly excited for the future of Coumarin - stay tuned!”
LYRICS I’m digging out my heart today Hanging in the burning rain Look at what our love became Nothing but your words remain Calling from another plane Baby I still feel the same And now I’m falling through the night again Nothing ever quenched that flame of you and I Left me with a heart ablaze Come and justify cosmic demands That I will never understand
Even through fire and hail You erased all the pain in me, baby Through every hurricane All the rain ricocheted You used to be my remedy
I’m falling through the cracks of life Reaching for that fading light Meet you on the other side I took you by your holy word Now we’re separated by worlds We were etched into the fabric of things And I never knew that it could break Feeling like a reckoning for our desires Feel like I’m awakening Will you come and help me reach the end And make me able to ascend?
Even through fire and hail You erased all the pain in me, baby Through every hurricane All the rain ricocheted You used to be my remedy
(Remedy) (Remedy) (Remedy) Even through fire and hail You erased all the pain in me, baby Through every hurricane All the rain ricocheted You used to be my remedy (Remedy) You used to be my remedy
