Summer Nights 02:57

Eyes closed Soul starts to wander I need our special place right now Waters calling in my blood I feel a fever Walking alone at the sunset I follow the flow of the river That led us to be friends And now the summer’s calling all the skirts are getting shorter Keep it light ‘cause people smiling Rivers shining, waters flowing Summer’s coming And I never felt more alive I’ve fallen for you, my friend And I want you here tonight And it’s so right cause you and I In the water It’s never been better In that summer night And it’s so right cause you and I In the water It’s never been better Since that summer night Watch it, watch it, darling watch it Summer’s here and all I want is Stay in this moment by your side Cause there is nothing more I want to do Spend my summer here with you Start counting our sweet nights And it’s so right cause you and I In the water It’s never been better In that summer night And it’s so right cause you and I In the water It’s never been better Since that summer night Do you remember The power of the water The moment’s getting real In those summer nights Do you remember The night was getting hotter My fears gone underwater In that summer night

I was dreaming I had an instrument A very beautiful one It was attached to a tree The big oak, the biggest of all I strum the chords and I played it As long as I remember I never felt so happy You give me power magical tree You tear me down and you set me free You are the harmony and pleasure united Now I hear the water singing Now I see the notes breathing Now I feel the light moving around Let’s go to the sea And I walk on the dream side Let’s walk on the dream side Now I hear the water singing Now I see the notes breathing Now I feel the light moving around Let’s go to the sea And I walk on the dream side Let’s walk on the dream side I was playing, I met Debussy He played the “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun” Nature, you possessed me With sparkling notes in the dark deep sea You give me power magical tree You tear me down and you set me free Now I feel the light moving around Let’s go to the sea And I walk on the dream side Let’s walk on the dream side Hear the water singing Now I see the notes breathing Now I feel the light moving around Let’s go to the sea And I walk on the dream side Let’s walk on the dream side

My Body 03:28

I’m loving my body Taking time in the morning I’m loving my body Taking care in the morning Putin’ on favourite clothes For this special morning Taking time to put some makeup on Dancing in front of the mirror I breath in, I breath out Protect it, connect it, caress is, confess it And listen to my body It has something to say, “I wanna move” My bathroom is a dance floor Full of disco bubbles My freckles are dancing My hair looks so messy I’m loving my body Taking time in the morning Waking up with a coffee And I dance in the morning I ain’t got no need for music, it’s a silent party It’s my chance to take a little time I’m starting with love from the very beginning I’m starting with love and it keeps coming back I’m starting with love and it’s from this morning And I keep moving up with love I’m loving my body Taking time in the morning I’m loving my body Taking care in the morning Putting on my favourite clothes For this special morning Taking time to put some makeup on Dancing in front of the mirror Body Taking time (In love with my body) Body Taking care (In love with my body) Putting on my favourite clothes For this special morning Taking time to bring some love in my life I’m loving my body Taking time in the morning I’m loving my body Taking care in the morning Putting on my favourite clothes For this special morning Taking time to put some makeup on Dancing in front of the mirror

I just can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop As the night hits the streets Call me when you near We need a place to chill And slowly move our hips Come and feel the breeze Lighting hits the ring I can’t forget the taste And the feel of your lips Mango, mango, mango and the peach Let’s go grab us some bubble tea Now we roller skate it's you and me There’s no one else in my dreams I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking about you, now I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking about you now, now I let go of the words And the echoes of your voice It warms up my kitchen walls You boost my every thought And every time you breath These are high vibes for me Gone the agony Cause you’re so good to me Mango, mango, mango and a peach Let’s go grab us some bubble tea Now we roller skate it’s you and me There’s no one else in my dreams I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking about you, now I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking about you now, now I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking about you, now I can’t stop thinking about you I just can’t stop thinking about you now, now No more agony Cause you’re so good to me I am ready Somewhere in the clouds we roller skate No more agony Cause you’re so good to me I am ready Somewhere in the clouds we roller skate

Sitting in The Dark 03:34

Sitting in the dark at night Lookin’ at the sky I don’t know how long it’s been Since I’ve seen a tiny spark of light Sitting in the pitch black night Waiting for that promised star Making a thousand wishes all at once Still expecting, hoping This time one of them will be heard And it’ll change my life I’m hoping, hoping, hoping so much For a star to fall down from the sky I wanna change those habits, take lead in my life But I have no clue how I can move on, move on Sitting in the pitch-black night Waiting for that lonely star Making a thousand wishes all at once Still expecting, hoping This time one of them will be heard And it’ll change my life I’m hoping, hoping, hoping too much For a star to fall down from the sky I wanna change those habits, take lead in my life But I have no clue how I can move on, move on I wish that maybe one day I’ll find my own place I wish that maybe one day I’ll be grounded in that space Stop falling for the people who’ll only break my heart Stop running in circles ‘till I wanna give up I’m hoping, hoping, hoping too much For a star to fall down from the sky I wanna change those habits, take lead in my life But I have no clue how I can move on How I can move on Move on

I Just Want a Man 03:04

I just want a man Who loves me right I just want a man Who knows me well I just want a man Who knows how to work, rest and play I just want a man For late night talks Simple kiss in the morning Would send me off I just want a man Who makes me feel at home I just want a man (Lay down in the park) I just want a man (Read poems ‘till the dark) I just want a man (Gaze into each other’s eyes) Ready for the fire nights I just want a man who seems impossible to find I just want a man who loves being by my side When we jam, when we jam I just want a man I didn’t mean to put pressure on you Maybe now you’re thinking that I am crazy Or that I’m looking for too much, for too much I have my standards high You’re the one I wanna wake up next to I wanna learn everything about you There’s some much we could do, we could do Trust the energy I just want a man I just want a man I just want a man I just want a man Who loves me right I just want a man Who knows me well I just want a man Who knows how to work, rest and play I just want a man For late night talks Simple kiss in morning Would send me off I just want a man Who makes me feel at home I just want a man I just want a man In my own space In my own way In my own world I just want a man

Move On 03:49
lyrics

You and I Two distant worlds Too far away to fool myself That “us” could ever work It hurts to know that We didn’t beat the distance There’s nothing left between us, I can’t feel us Nothing to hold on So I move on and I move on and I move on And I drive on and I drive on, no luggage at all And I run, run a red light with my eyes closed So close to the edge and I let go On a different pillow Trying to forget you Now everything’s changed But it still feels the same I should have listened To my intuition Saw the ending from the start It was not a pretty picture So I move on and I move on and I move on And I drive on and I drive on, no luggage at all And I run, run a red light with my eyes closed So close to the edge I let go This time I know how to play Three steps ahead in this game Now there is no one to blame Cause we change, we change There’s no point in looking back Now I’m driving really fast There’s no place for the past I enjoy the ride while it lasts And I move on and I move on and I move on And I drive on and I drive on, no luggage at all And I run, run red light with my eyes closed So close to the edge and I let go

Never Grow Up 03:32

If I only knew What it meant to be older I’d cast a magic spell and stay a child forever Safe in my own space Close to my loved ones I would read, I would play Every dream at my fingertips Cause time would stop Whenever I wish There’d be no worries at all I’d do everything I dreamed of I feel free, like a bird When I go back home Where my memories live I am a child A child that knows no limits in life A child that dreams & grows Big heart, big dreams, big future A child who has its whole world ahead A child who can stop time A child, my child If I only knew what it meant to be older I would never leave my home I feel free, like a bird When I go back home Where my memories live I am a child A child that knows no limits in life A child that dreams and grows Big heart, big dreams, big future A child who has its whole world ahead A child who can stop time A child, my child Never grow up Never, never grow up Never grow up

Real You 04:09

Stop lying to yourself You're not who you pretend to be Your created image will destroy you It'll make you small Have a look in the mirror When was the last time you smiled Are you trying to be Someone you are not? I love you, the real you It's a secret to you I love you, the real you You shine when you are true to yourself And it's ok It takes some strength To love yourself To love someone else Since the beginning People wouldn't trust you No need to be scared It's time to show your face I love you, the real you It's a secret to you I love you, the real you You shine when you are true to yourself And it's ok It takes some strength I love you, the real you It's a secret to you I love you, the real you You shine when you are true to yourself And it's ok It takes some strength To love yourself To love someone else To love, to love, to love, to love yourself To love, to love, to love, to love yourself

about

(french bellow)

Lina Stalyte has decided to address the variety of emotions she feels in an album that turned out to be cathartic for her. "Summer Nights" is a neo-soul 9-track album recorded by musicians in London and Paris. Lina expresses her relationship with her body, with love, and the darker side of each & everyone's soul. She talks about dark feelings that she now dares to cast a light upon. "Summer Nights" is structured like a play: made of three separate acts, she lifts the veil almost chronologically on the emotional trials she has been through these past two years; This Album is a daring ode to self-love, sensuality, and femininity, three strong themes that she holds close to her heart.


français :

Lina Stalyte exprime les émotions accumulées en son for intérieur dans l'album “Summer Nights” qu’elle s’apprête à sortir en octobre 2022. Un album de 9 titres, aux sonorités néo soul, enregistré entre Londres et Paris à l’aide d’accompagnements notables de musiciens anglais. C’est l’EP d’une nouvelle ère vers l’alignement et l’introspection ultime qui s’est avéré cathartique pour la jeune artiste ces deux dernières années. Elle exprime, et chante en anglais, son rapport au corps, à l’amour et aux maux de l’âme, des sentiments sombres qu’elle ose aujourd’hui mettre en lumière. Construit comme une pièce de théâtre en trois actes, elle y dévoile quasi-chronologiquement les épreuves émotionnelles qui ont rythmées sa vie ces deux années passées ; une ode à l’amour de soi et à l’audace, à la sensualité et à la féminité, des thèmes qui lui sont chers et qu’elle dévoilera au fil des sorties.
