about

Carnelian Music's co-owner - Collette Warren - is joined by MC Fokus and Philth for the label's sixth release 'Set Me Free'.

'Set Me Free' speaks of those times when anxiety takes hold, and inner demons can raise their head. Examining feelings of doubt and looking to believe in the positive option, not letting those thoughts win.

Another stand out vocal performance from Collette Warren, whose vocals are matched perfectly to the pensive and melodic production provided by the ever prolific Philth. A classic Think Break led track that builds emotion thanks to the layered keys and emotive atmosphere. The ever talented MC Fokus delivers the perfect bars to match the sentiment, motivational and uplifting whilst battling self doubt.

The B side sees the song flipped into a dreamy acoustic version with keys provided by Carnelian Music’s own Gemma Rose, last seen on the label earlier this year. Raw and emotive, this version makes Collette’s vocal shine, chorused throughout further emphasising the sensitive tone of the subject.

lyrics

Don’t be fooled by what you see, 'cause deep inside I'm not what I’m supposed to be. So afraid to use my voice, 'cause deep inside I feel that I don’t have a choice.

Sometimes I wake up and I smile,
Because I’m still here trying
Sometimes I hear echoes of screams,
Through tunnels of distant crying,
Don’t let me be,
Don’t let me be the one you need don’t let me be,
Don’t let me be, don’t let me be,
Don’t let me be the one you need please set me free, free,

I'm the guy who likes to take a good thing and break it,
Then try to fix it
Don't know what you got until you missed it,
Mentally a misfit,
Rumination and frustration,
Never play safe prefer to risk it,
Until its something I regret,
Left carrying the sadness,
Questioning my temporary madness,
I can't be the one need because I'm tainted,
Going round in circles,
Ability to change has dissipated,
The sensible choice would be to speak out, 
Any not internal this feeling until I freak out,
Oh man its getting deep now,
Open doors start closing,
Imposter syndrome,
Feel like a wolf in sheep's clothing, 
Intellectually - I've got every solution,
In the cold light of day they all fade away, 
Like a New Year's Resolution,
Please set me free,
It's time to start breaking the habit of being me.

Sometimes I wake up and I smile,
Because I’m still here trying
Sometimes I hear echoes of screams,
Through tunnels of distant crying,
Don’t let me be,
Don’t let me be the one you need don’t let me be,
Don’t let me be, don’t let me be,
Don’t let me be the one you need please set me free, free,
