PORTOFINO by Sloe Noon
A song about the pitfalls of being a starry-eyed adolescent, moving across an ocean by yourself and waking up to a different reality on the shore. Essentially 'Portofino' is a place of disillusionment, but also a freedom achieved through letting go of fictionalised expectations.

Lyrics
Again I ride writing songs in my head that won't ever be heard
What am I doing on this earth in slavery of sounds and words?
Maybe I like not understanding the world
Come and dance in my shatters with me
Hand me back my mirrors
Let me not like me
Let me not like me
Used to believe in pretty things, but now I don't anymore, don't anymore
What am I doing?
What am I doing?
Is it that all our lives befriending time is all we try to do?
All our lives befriending time is all we try
Let me not like me
Let me not like me

Alternative Rock and the Ruhr area’s Krautrock beats, Anna creates a unique
blend of guitar-driven pop, grunge and shoegaze. With the support of live drums,
guitar, and bass their live performance invites you into the dreamy bedroom
where the songs were written, to then collectively tear down its walls.
