“When Is Tasha Coming Home?” is a 6 track EP based on the concept on Call Me Unique in a conversation from her inner self. Stories taken from as far back as childhood up to adult age, this EP began as clips from old diary pages that she found. It then evolved into words, thoughts and feelings Call Me Unique has not yet publicly divulged, hoping that audiences find some of the stories healing in a thought provoking way. Touching upon subjects such as imposter syndrome, depression, heartbreak, loneliness and pain whilst also expressing hope, strength, resilience and determination to grow.
This is the most honest and gut-wrenching piece of Unique’s work to date.
From “Assertive”s - a depiction of how love may not be enough to hold onto a relationship, “Pressure” - the pressures of being “the best version of yourself” and society’s idealism of “being a good person”, “Daddy Time” an honest and heartfelt letter to her father, “My Sly Cry” hearing from her younger self about the roads she took towards the creation of “Unique” - her alter ego, “Thank You” a breather from the somber songs to remind everyone of just how grateful “Call Me Unique” is for the good times and finally… “Wordsworth” - the tale of Unique’s car accident and the reality that words have power, ending in a mantra of “wishing you a long existence” to the listener. This whole EP is an honest look into what it took to make and sometimes break this artist into who she is today.
lyrics
Dear Universe - thank you for your blessings
Dear conscious mind - thank you for your questions
Dear inhibitions - thank you for not holding me back from being free
I want to care and love and be in peace
Dear liars - thank you for your absence
Dear truth - thank you for your passion and compassion
Dear temptation - thank you for the mask that oh once blinded me
From care and love and warmth and being free
Cause I don't care if I sound stupid by simply saying
Thank you
For merely saying Thank you
There's not one reason alone for me saying Thank you
I'm just saying Thank you
For every little thing you do
Do
I am finally smiling for once
Once the blessings have come my way
I've encouraged my blessings to come
And I finally mean it too
To - to you
And the bad times you don't get a look in
You were never invited to stay
You can throw all my bottled flaws & fears
You can finally dash them away
Dash them away
Cause I don't care if I sound stupid by simply saying
Thank you
For merely saying Thank you
There's not one reason alone for me saying Thank you
I'm just saying Thank you
For every little thing you do
Do
Cause I don't care if I sound stupid by simply saying
Thank you
For merely saying Thank you
There's not one reason alone for me saying Thank you
I'm just saying Thank you
For every little thing you do
Do
