SECOND RODEO is the follow-up to Emily’s 2023 album RAPTURE, a record which saw a breakthrough in Emily’s 20-year music career with further support at Radio X, Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing, XS Manchester and QBS Radio(Qatar).

SECOND RODEO contains more tales from a life well lived as a hopeless romantic, dreamer and degenerate, which range from depictions of the rituals and habits of teenagers in the late 90s in ‘1997’ to a Beatnik-inspired hymn delivered at breakneck speed in ‘The Beatniks’, to a multiverse-spanning tale of the cosmic life cycle of a relationship in ‘We Were Lovers’… to a fuzzed-out shoegaze cover of Paul's Simon’s iconic ‘Graceland.

lyrics

Somewhere out there in the multiverse
We are walking out into a wide open afternoon
Laughing at the vast cosmic joke of it all
All day long
As we casually transcend
The beginning and the end of one another
We were lovers

Falling in love with you felt like waking up
To find out that work has been abolished
And it is our civic duty to aimlessly indulge in animal pleasures
All day long
We didn't do one single thing
Except drift between the latex thin skin of one another
We were lovers

Here I go again
Over romanticizing everything
Here I go again
Spill my guts after a couple of drinks
Here I go again

Eventually we slipped into his and hers tepid baths
Of mutual resentment
Dug separate trenches and fired pot shots at each other
All day long
Our days were numbered, we rolled our eyes at one another
We were lovers

Here I go again
Over romanticizing everything
Here I go again
Spill my guts after a couple of drinks
I’m all singing all dancing, talk to anyone who'll listen
To stop that Sunday night sadness, Sunday night sadness
Sunday night sadness creeping in

I’m all singing all dancing, talk to anyone who'll listen
Here I go again, here I go again
