about

I wrote “Shoulder” in England with my dear friend Dom Malin. I had just gotten news that some gigs I was really excited about got cancelled and feeling really low, Dom lend me his Shoulder and when words were hard he picked up his guitar and started playing, I started singing over it and this song emerged at the end. I really love how this song emerged in a moment were Dom was the lighthouse in my darkness, it feels like it truly embodies our friendship.

I was looking for a song about friendship for the “Ocean Inside Of Me” album at the time, and finding it quite hard to fill the gap with a song I wrote alone. It’s the chapter of the album where I reach out and accept help, it’s the turning point where others join my healing journey with their love and support. I realised it had to be a collab and when we wrote “Shoulder” it was an easy choice. “You are like a lighthouse in the dark, should you burn out I’ll bring a light into your house”, knowing that I can both be the light for my friends and follow their light when I am lost is one of the most wonderful things.

Dom and I played the song quite often on our tour together last year and now I associate so many wonderful moments and memories with them. Something that also made me really happy is to have some lovely friends involved in the production of the song with the wonderful Rich Andruska on Banjo and Dominic Romano producing the track.

I wouldn’t be here without the people I love, the people that love me. So this one is for those that are my lighthouses in the dark, maybe you can send it to yours to send them a hug in song form.

lyrics

Throw a rope
I’ll be fine
Throw a rope
I’ll climb, I’ll climb

Don’t need to dye my hair no more
Don’t need to fill the hole they tore
When it feels like life is over
I’ll rest my head on your shoulder

You’ve been here
All this time
Take me there
I’ll climb, I’ll climb

Don’t need to dye my hair no more
Don’t need to fill the hole they tore
When it feels like life is over
I’ll rest my head on your shoulder

You are
like a lighthouse in the dark
Should you burn out
I’ll bring a light into your house
You are
like a lighthouse in the dark
Should you burn out
I’ll bring a light into your house

Don’t need to dye my hair no more
Don’t need to fill the hole they tore
When it feels like life is over
I’ll rest my head on your shoulder
When it feels like life is over
I’ll rest my head on your shoulder
When it feels like life is over
I’ll rest my head on your shoulder
When it feels like life is over
I’ll rest my head on your shoulder

Luna Keller Cologne, Germany

I'm a singer-songwriterholic who loves making indie folky songs and putting my soul on paper.

Music was part of my life, I remember listening to my parents doing music when I was little and singing along getting all the lyrics wrong. I was thirteen when I picked up one of my dad's guitars and 19 when I moved out to become a full time musician. I am so grateful to be on this path! ... more
