about

Influenced by a debaucherous night out at a laneway cabaret event in Sydney, Alana-Lee releases her new single, Escape Act, on Friday 4 December. The song was written at the piano in 1 hour as part of the I Heart Songwriting Club weekly challenge, under the theme ‘Houdini’. With illusion and escapism at the helm, Alana-Lee recalled her own avoidant and at times impressive escape acts on nights out with friends. Production has an alluring sense of mystery and edge with moody percussive rhythms, meandering hooky melodies and enticing vocals.

lyrics

LYRICS

Do you follow the dark of night
The puff of smoke-lit embers light
Where there’s magic, mystery
Moonlight and trickery

Do you want to learn it all from me
I can teach you how to let yourself be free

Oh the twists and turns on cobblestone streets
Want to entice you with another meet
A masquerade of maids who
Make intrigue wade

Can you lose yourself in it again?
Do you want to learn it from a friend?

Will you be part of my escape act?
Lurk among the glitter and gods
Scantily dressed with red lips on your neck
Will you be part of my escape act?

Friends won’t be there in the morning
Eating crumpets and overtalking
The secrets you shared
Cannot be unheard

Will you be part of my escape act?
Lurk among the glitter and gods
Scantily dressed with red lips on your neck
Will you be part of my escape act?

Though you can smell all the fun
Your tongue may be left bitter and dull
Lights will go down on every curtain call
You may want to cut and run and not become

Part of my escape act
Lurk among the glitter and gods
Scantily dressed with red lips on your neck
Will you be part of my escape act?
Will you be part of my escape act?
Will you be part of my escape act?
