On her second single Shura sings, “Have you ever been lost/We could get lost/I wanna get lost” and if, as the press release for “Just Once” rings true, and it is indeed the prequel to her first single “Touch” – we get the full weight of both songs instantly, in tone and temperament. You’ll want to get lost with her in this song and in her world, straight away. She’s apparently unsigned, which – hell – judging from both singles won’t last very long. In the meantime, I have a sneaky suspicion we’re going to listen to this more than “just once”… ~ Lior Phillips.
Shura – Just Once
Earlier this year, London singer-songwriter Shura made her debut with the sentimental synth-pop gem “Touch”. Now, just a few months later and she’s back with yet another emotive number called “Just Once”.
Shura – Just Once Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve disagreed
But it’s the third time we’ve fought together this week
Maybe it’s nothing, maybe I just need time on my own
Just once, I’m gonna go and get drunk
[Chorus]
If you get my name wrong I won’t get pissed off cause
I wish I was somebody else
You know nothing about me, I know nothing about you
But maybe the question mark helps
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost
[Verse 2]
I’m not sure if I’m just thinking ‘bout it too much
Or if I’m just looking for an excuse for us to break up
Maybe I want to , maybe I need to
Find a way to tell you that I want to let you go
Just once, I’m gonna go and get drunk
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost
(I wanna get lost with you)
