Distrust

Ailbhe Reddy's new single 'Distrust':

"‘Distrust’ is her latest track, a song which pushes and pulls between acceptance, desire and distrust: at once mournful yet resolved to move on." - Nialler9

Irish Times 'New Artist of the Week' - "Her latest track Distrust marks a turning point towards a more developed sound. With the production help of Darragh Nolan, is more complex and memorable than what has gone before." - Niall Byrne, The Irish Times

"The stark production, use of harmonic background texture and large vocal swells makes for beguiling track." - Stephen White, The Last Mixed Tape

"‘Distrust’ is an indie pop tune that showcases Ailbhe’s distinguishing vocals. With lyrics that are both emotive and defiant yet hold a hint of open vulnerability, this mid-tempo track is well worth a listen." - Anna Henderson, Dublin Concerts

Lyrics:

I'm not a mistake,
Hurts when you talk that way, that way.
I'm not a waste,
The time it takes to fuck this up.
The distaste, distrust.

And I'll miss you,
I'll miss you...

But I'm not in love,
I don't think I can be,
Thought that I could be with you.
I'm not in love,
No I can't be,
Thought I could be with you, you.

With you, with you, with you...

It's not a shame,
You act this way,
It just shows,
It's me you loathe.
I'm not afraid,
To walk away because I know.
I'm built to live alone.

And I'll miss you
I'll miss you...

But I'm not in love,
I don't think I can be,
Thought that I could be with you.
I'm not in love,
No I can't be,
Thought I could be with you, you.
