LYRICS

Cold bones, yeah, that's my love

She hides away, like a ghost

Ooh, does she know that we bleed the same?

Ooh, don't wanna cry but I break that way

Cold sheets, oh, where's my love?

I am searching high, I'm searching low in the night

Ooh, does she know that we bleed the same?

Ooh, don't wanna cry but I break that way

Did she run away

Did she run away, I don't know

If she ran away

If she ran away, come back home

Just come home

I got a fear, oh, in my blood

She was carried up into the clouds, high above

If you're there I bleed the same

If you're scared I'm on my way

Did you run away

Did you run away, I don't need to know

If you ran away

If you ran away, come back home

Just come home

About SYML: "SYML is the solo venture of Brian Fennell, who was previously part of the indie band Barcelona. SYML released his eponymous debut album on May 3, 2019 through Nettwerk Records.[1]

Brian Fennell was born on January 18, 1983 in Issaquah, Washington. After living in several places in and around Seattle, he's since returned to his hometown and lives there currently where he writes and produces out of a home studio.[2]

Fennell started playing piano at a young age, and wrote his first song when he was 18 years old as a coping mechanism after the death of a schoolmate.[3] After high school, he attended Whitworth University[4] where he got a degree in Music Education with an emphasis in percussion[3]

Fennell currently performs under the solo project SYML. It means “simple” in Welsh, and is pulled from his own personal heritage. He was adopted as a child, and later in life found out that his biological parents are Welsh. His experience grappling with both his adoption and heritage are influences in his songwriting.[2]

After his song "Where's My Love" was used on the popular drama TV show Teen Wolf, the song charted for 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart.[5] In 2018, the song received Gold certification in Canada and Belgium,[6] and held the #1 spot on Canada's CBC Top 20 charts twice.[7][8] SYML's "Wildfire" also appeared in a Belgian teen drama web series wtFOCK[9] (broadcast by VIER and VIJF 2018 - so far) - an adaption of the popular Norwegian series SKAM [10] . "Where's My Love" was also featured prominently in the official trailer for the 2018 motion picture Adrift.[11] In 2020, the song appeared in the movie Chemical Hearts.

In 2019, SYML's fan favorite cover of the classic "Mr. Sandman" was featured in the short film TIM (The Invisible Me) by writer/director John Grammatico. TIM Short Film." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYML).

"SYML is the moodier solo venture of Barcelona frontman and Seattle native Brian Fennell. As SYML, Fennell is more textural and sensory than Barcelona's piano rock, framing his quiet, introspective songwriting in low-key synth-augmented soundscapes with austere piano parts and spectral vocals. Debuting in 2016 with the Hurt for Me EP, SYML found success with song placements in a number of high-profile television shows like Elementary, Scream, and Teen Wolf. Subsequent singles "The War" and "Mr. Sandman," a surprisingly dour cover of the 1950s doo wop chestnut, found SYML exploring heavy and ominous themes, though his 2017 follow-up, "Where's My Love," was an altogether more buoyant, folk-inspired track. "Where's My Love" proved to be a hit for SYML and over the next year, it was rolled out in a variety of different forms including an acoustic version, a solo piano version, a Sam Feldt electronic remix, and a duet with Lily Kershaw. The original mix appeared on SYML's 2018 EP, In My Body. In 2019, Fennell issued his eponymous full-length debut SYML" (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/syml-mn0003568864/biography).
