about

Weaving a tale of unrequited love and missed connections, Crissi Cochrane's 2021 single "Why" is an expert blend of her soulful delivery and her emotional, heartfelt songwriting. This bittersweet and nuanced pop/soul track features production by solo artists (and fellow members of the Soul City Music Co-op) Mike Hargreaves and Dane Roberts. Horn swells, twinkling piano hooks, delicious bass-lines and a searing guitar solo create an emotional landscape: the perfect playground for Crissi's soaring vocals to take flight.

lyrics

Why did you have to come at the wrong time?
In the starlight
There were tears in my eyes
Summer on the mountain
My heart in the ground
You and the shovel
And the dirt raining down

Cover the bruises
With your lips on mine
One moment in the shadows
Before you leave me behind

I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your everything
Tear down your walls
Answer my calls
Why can't this be the beginning of something special
Something special
Something

Don't need a reminder I'm not your type
You and the May Queen
Me and my sewing machine
But did you ever tell her
Who you used to be
You would never need to explain yourself to me

So I'll keep waiting
Though I say I won't
Boy, I know my fate and it's not being alone

I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your everything
Tear down your walls
Answer my calls
Why can't this be the beginning of something special
Something special
Something

Why, why, why, why...

I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your everything
Tear down your walls
Answer my calls
Why can't this be the beginning of something special
Something special
Something

Why, why, why, why, why - why
Why, why, why, why, why - why
