Conan Gray's 'This Song' Lyrics Are an Open Letter Fueled by Yearning
The Conan Gray-shaped hole in your heart is about to be filled, because the singer-songwriter is officially back with the latest single off his upcoming album, 'This Song.' Along with heartfelt lyrics that openly yearn for romance, the track is married with whimsical string-heavy production reminiscent of the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris'... we can hear those TikTok mashups already. The song brings Conan back to his vulnerable bedroom pop songwriting roots, which is fitting since he wrote most of his fourth studio album, Wishbone, from that very place. Wishbone is set to be released on August 29, and Conan revealed that he had 'secretly' stumbled upon the writing process almost two years ago. 'Over the past two years, I've been secretly writing songs. After shows in the basements of the venues, in the sheets of my hotel beds, in narrow gaps between tours— I'd come back home and write all the things I felt nobody wanted to hear. Maybe even the things I didn't want people to hear,' Conan wrote on Instagram. 'It felt like the music was reminding me who I am, at an experimental time in my twenties where 'who I am' had no definition at all.' He continued, 'I played the songs to the very first person I'd ever made music with, Dan Nigro, and I quietly began to record. I didn't know why I was recording, I just was. I didn't know what story I was telling, I was just living in it. Slowly I started to see myself in full picture. The slivers of myself I'd always been, but never faced. The songs I'd always been writing, but never singing. Before I knew it I was surrounded by an album.' That being said! Now seems like a good time to learn the lyrics of 'This Song' as Conan is hitting a few music festivals later this year. Lyrics by Conan Gray [Verse 1] Yeah, I know that I love you And I have a feeling that you love me back I'm sat in my bedroom And I hear your heart like a train on the tracks Your eyes are like heaven Your voice is like rain Eleven elevens, they all hear your name Too shy to tell you the words on my mind I hope you can see if you read through these linesGet in, it's time to yearn (aka... a likely thing to do during a Conan song). In the first verse, he confesses his love for his subject with pure poetry. When he feels those emotions could potentially be reciprocated, he seemingly calls back to Train's 'Drops of Jupiter': 'She acts like summer / and walks like rain.' Conan shares that he wishes for this person every time the clock turns 11:11 — it's also a nod to another Wishbone track of the same name.[Chorus] That I wrote this song about you A song that I wish you knew A song that I tried to sing But now I'll say it straight I wrote this song about youIn case the subject needed clarity on whether this song was about them... now they know. [Verse 2] I drive through the suburbs And you're playing all of your favorite songs You joke about your mother She can't help but cry when she hears Elton John You're singing obnoxious I'm laughing like spring Your brown racer jacket My hands through the sleeves The smell of your perfume Is all over me I can't wash it off so it's easy to see The second verse is truly what love is all about... it's the little things. Singing along to Elton John songs, wearing each other's clothes, and embracing the lingering scent of each other's fragrances. Also, there could be a cute lil Easter egg that potentially ties back to Conan's bestie, Olivia Rodrigo, here with 'You're singing obnoxious' and her 'Deja Vu' lyrics: 'Watching re-runs of Glee / Being annoying.' [Chorus][Bridge] You know that I love you Is it dumb believing you might love me too? Yeah [Outro] (I wrote this song about you) (I wrote this song about you) You know that I love you You Might Also Like 18 Best Leggings Brands That Will Make Your Butt Look Like an 11/10 37 Selena Gomez Hairstyles to Copy If You're Trying to Level-Up Your Hair Game 11 Waterproof Makeup Products You Have to Try

Guess who! Noughties pop star who gained massive success for her Devil Wears Prada anthem looks unrecognisable at Sydney Airport
She's the Scottish-born singer who enjoyed huge chart success thanks to the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada which featured her catchy song, Suddenly I See. The hitmaker has enjoyed a decades long career and picked up numerous accolades, including two Ivor Novello Awards. Her debut album Eye to the Telescope catapulted her to international stardom, selling more than five million copies globally. It was also the 51st best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK. Now 49, the songstress is currently in Australia as the support act for US rockers Train during their five-date Down Under tour. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. KT Tunstall looked unrecognisable when she was spotted arriving at Sydney Airport ahead of her ICC Theatre show on Saturday. She wore a sleeveless cream and tan jacket from French designer Isabel Marant. Dressing for warmth, Tunstall rugged up with a plain black jumper with loose-fitting sleeves. She could not hide her rocker persona though, stepping out in a pair of form-fitting grey acid wash jeans with seam details on the thighs. Tunstall finished her outfit with a pair of chunky black combat-style boots that enveloped the cuffs of her jeans. She added an extra element of disguise with a pair of yellow-tinted sunglasses and finished her look with a leather crossbody bag and some subtle silver bling in her ears and on her wrists. Tunstall recently revealed that she went deaf in one ear after attending a Spice Girls concert. She explained on Channel Ten's The Project she had travelled on a long flight to get to the concert. However, the pressure of the flight and the loud music at the show led to her suffering from sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). 'I lost my hearing on tour in 2018 on one side. [Earlier] I had come off a long haul flight and I went to a Spice Girls concert which was amazing,' Tunstall explained. 'I guess it was a combination of working too hard, travelling too much and something too loud and I lost some of my hearing.' Tunstall also revealed she suffered from vertigo for three months but it eventually disappeared. She recently told OK! magazine: 'It was a huge shock. I'm 97 per cent deaf in that ear now and can't use a hearing aid because it's gone too far.... 'I'm not blaming the Spice Girls, but I think it overloaded my nervous system. I woke up with ringing in my ear, like I'd gone underwater. I couldn't hear the car indicator or a shower in another room.' 'But the worst part wasn't the deafness, it was the vertigo. 'I lost my balance completely, for two or three months. That was really disabling. Thankfully it passed, and I can still write, record, perform - just in mono. 'I started seeing it as a message from the universe telling me to slow down, look after myself. I still tour, but I'm more careful.' As she prepares to turn 50 later this year and celebrate the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough album Eye To The Telescope, Tunstall admitted she feels like it is the end of an era but that she is proud of her age and how she remains a force in the music industry. Tunstall, who has released eight studio albums, is perhaps best known for the 2005 track Suddenly I See. The track featured prominently in the 2006 film Devil Wears Prada starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. The song's inclusion in the soundtrack definitely did not hinder its success, peaking at number 12 on the UK chart - giving Tunstall her most successful single to date in the UK. Speaking about the song's association with the hit film in 2007, Tunstall said she found it 'amusing', given it was inspired by punk poet icon Patti Smith. 'The whole thing with The Devil Wears Prada was very amusing,' she said. 'The song is actually about the photograph of Patti Smith on the cover of Horses. I didn't realize the lyrics could perfectly fit a chick flick, and it could sound like I was singing about wanting to be a f***ing model!'
