So many things I should have said, by Ariana May

'So many things I should have said' from the debut EP 'Perfect for You' by Ariana May.'So many things I should have said' is an emotional song about the regret of keeping your words inside; it reflects how although we have so many thoughts inside our minds, sometimes it feels like our tongues are tied. This poignant song is wistful and emotional as it echoes how we overthink everything, however is encouraging as it tells us to "always speak whatever's in your mind".The EP 'Perfect for You' is a collection of three songs: 'Perfect for You', 'Embers of the Sun' and 'So many things I should have said'. Though each song has a different message, they all possess the same paradoxical moods of poignancy and optimism; inspiring us with courage for the future or comfort in our memories. All the songs revolve around relationships and how each moment in life shapes us and makes us stronger.

Previously unreleased, ‘The Steepest Hill’ is a ‘song for our times’ reflecting the everyday struggles that people all over the world are facing on a day-to-day basis. As Raff explains: “It’s really an ode to the pressures of modern-day life but with a message to tell people they aren’t alone and to keep going, keep climbing and one day, you’ll get to where you want to be.”We hope you like our video - filmed during rehearsals for our forthcoming gigs, at which we look forward to giving the single its first live performance.
