Is it obvious Lately I’m preoccupied with opinions Conversations with myself Is it obvious That I’m afraid we could go the distance But I know to hide it well Is it obvious That everywhere I go, something’s missing Like a secret I can’t tell Smoke screens in mirror Like staring at strangers Every time that I get lost Inside my shell All I need, All I need’s My purple diesel daydream To put me at ease All I need, All I need’s My purple diesel daydream Before I go to sleep Gorilla glued to you Huffing and puffing like it’s new to you Fussing in discussion like we ain’t got something to lose Something to stay for I know you’re grateful for every moment in the end Smoke screens in mirrors Like staring at strangers Every time that I am lost Inside my shell Smoke screens in mirrors Like staring at strangers Every time that I am lost Inside my shell All I need, All I need’s My purple diesel daydream To put me at ease All I need, All I need’s My purple diesel daydream Before I go to sleep All I need, All I need’s My purple diesel daydream To put me at ease All I need, All I need’s My purple diesel daydream Before I go to sleep Light one, Save some Keep on road til the day done Spark one with the lights out Feel that til there ain’t none Light one (light one), Save some (save some) Keep on road til the day done (done) Spark one with the lights out Feel that 'til there ain’t none All I need

about

In a harmonious blend of soulful melodies and contemplative lyrics, the new neo-soul single "Purple Diesel Daydreams" by Monelle reflects on the importance of creating safe spaces for people with anxiety. This captivating song transports listeners through a personal perspective on finding peace and balance with intrusive thoughts while giving in to a fast-paced lifestyle.

Produced by IORDN, this light and airy single perfectly balances soulful instrumentation and Monelle’s silky vocals, which is the signature of her sound.

The song's lyrics embrace the notion of overcoming external pressures whilst embracing yourself fully. In it, we follow as the artist navigates insecurities while trying to quiet their own mind. By destigmatising the complexities of mental health, Monelle hopes to inspire listeners to prioritise what works for them instead of conforming to societal standards and norms. She reminds us to look for the good in people and try to bring that out instead.

Monelle continues to stand as a testament to the importance of vulnerability as the centre of open conversations. Her music often carries heartfelt messages that aim to resonate intensely, offering solace and encouragement to those on their own journeys.

In her own words:
"As someone who struggles with their anxiety daily, I think that people can be quick to judge rather than show empathy. I’m not perfect, but it’s tough to improve when you’re being put down constantly.

This song is meant to remind those struggling with the same things I am that it's okay to create space for yourself in your own life. Whatever that space looks like for you, I hope this record brings you peace and comfort whilst you're in it." - Monelle
