about

“champagne tears” tells a story of two ex-lovers tangled up in toxicity and drama, missing the familiarity that defined their past relationship and its addictive, cyclical nature. The passion and drama is wrapped up and almost hidden in what Faerie calls a “leisurely, folk-inspired sound.” Her description creates a fitting musical metaphor for a relationship of that nature — an internal, private chaos not always picked up externally. The song sways and bounces, easy on the ears, though full of melancholy lyrics in between horn solos and Faerie’s cooing upper register.

The single came out of Faerie’s long talks with her producer, Matty Bedrosian (Los Angeles, CA) and co-writer Christian Young (San Antonio, TX) about the adrenaline addiction drama gives a person — and the unhealthy thoughts and actions that result from the “high.” The full story in “champagne tears” solidified when Faerie realized that what’s inside the adrenaline would never truly be satisfying for her.

lyrics

Greetings from my memory
Traces of sandalwood follow me
How do I say I miss you (I miss you)
Without a “wish you were here” (Wish you were)

Ooo

If you buy me a ticket, I’ll take that ride
I’m getting bored of bright blue skies
So cheers to champagne tears
And crying over you

Greetings from a daydream
My maraschino cherry sweet
Feel sick to my stomach (feeling sick)
For nothing (for nothing), it’s so funny

If love was a leisure
Pure comfort could please her, please her, please

If love was a leisure
Pure comfort could keep us in this dream

Buy me a ticket, I’ll take that ride
I’m getting bored of bright blue skies

So cheers to champagne tears
and crying over you
If you buy me a ticket, I’ll take that ride
I’m getting bored of bright blue skies
So cheers to champagne tears
and crying over you

Crying over you
Crying over you
