Swan
Not the Only One

Water On Your Nose
Slip

Puddles

Picture this, I see you
At the foot of my bed
As you watch me undress
I wanna be next to you
Around the bend, I'll follow
In the warm summer air
I remember you there
With your hands in my hair

Puddles and puddles, I picture us there
Walking in circles and talking in stares
I'm seeing double, I'm already scared
Scared of what losing feels after we dare

Through the trees, I forget
That we've not even met
But I wanna pretend
That you're living with me
And through the leaves, I'll love you
In the dead of the night
I can carry your light inside of me

Puddles and puddles, I picture us there
Walking in circles and talking in stares
I'm seeing double, I'm already scared
Scared of what losing feels after we dare (dare)
Puddles and puddles, I picture us there
Walking in circles and talking in stares

My mind is blurry from all of the rain
Don't think that love is worth all of the pain

Puddles and puddles, I picture us there
Walking in circles and talking in stares
I'm seeing double, I'm already scared
Scared of what losing feels after we dare (dare)
Puddles and puddles, I picture us there
Walking in circles and talking in stares

My mind is blurry from all of the rain
Don't think that love is worth all of the pain

Think I should try
But I think I should try
But I think I should try
Yeah, think I should try

My Turn

Daisy, I'm sorry for the way I am when I'm alone
Inside my mind, I cry
Lately, most all I think about is how I did you wrong
And how I paid for it

You didn't deserve it
All of the things I did
And what a lesson learned
I died 'cause it's my turn

Daisy, I wanna be the same as you
The way you read my mind
The wildness when you're high
And if you only knew I loved you
Daisy, how does it feel to be alone?
How does it feel inside your own?
Without the wrinkles in my eyes?
Without the sadness that you've known
We may never be the same
But I would never let you die alone (alone)

You didn't deserve it
All of the things I did
And what a lesson learned
I died 'cause it's my turn
You didn't deserve it
All of the things I did
And what a lesson learned
I died when I lost

You

Moment

Heaven is a place beside you
While we're walking by the shore
Spider crawling through the meadow
I'll invite him to your door

In this moment I break, in this moment I want more
From the moment I wake, I'll be lying on your floor
In this moment I break, in this moment I want more
But this moment will change and I'll never be all yours

Man, I wanna melt inside you
Form to water, then to ice
But if it goes into the summer
Don't think that I'd wanna hide

In this moment I break, in this moment I want more
From the moment I wake, I'll be lying on your floor
In this moment I break, in this moment I want more
But this moment will change and I'll never be all yours

Disappear with me
With me
Disappear with me
With me
Disappear with me
With me
By the gliding sea

Back to You

Maybe in another life
I'll be yours again
Until then, I'm wasting time
Until I'm yours again
'Cause I tried
To find a fallen star

And hope it brings me back to you

I hope it brings me back to you
I hope it brings me back to you
I hope it brings me back to you
I hope it brings me back to you
I hope it brings me back to you
I hope it brings me back to you

I can learn how to fly
So I'll be yours again

Put your hand inside my pocket
If it's not you, I don't want it
I'll be there outside your window
Dressing gown that's made of crystal
Shining disaster (take a bow and take off my dress, naked by a sea of orchids)
Pulls me through the floor (park your car, I'll kiss your neck)
(Trace it with my fingertips)

I hope it brings me back to you (put your hand inside my pocket)

I could love you like a swan would
I could love you 'til the end
Take my body, this I promise
Won't let go of your hand
I could love you like a swan would

If you hold me like he hurt me
I will save you the last dance

Stay with me through the summer
Laugh with me again

Every time I hold my hand
I picture yours in mine, but I can't
Every time I hold my hand

Through the air

I wish I could be honest (I want to say)
I would have to die (for you, for you)

Every time I hold my hand
I picture yours in mine, but I can't
Every time I hold my hand

Through the air
Through the air

I'll be there
Always be there

I don't have to try to love you

I don't have to try to love you

Wearing your coat under the snow
It's holding me close before we go
Slip into you, slip into me
Wearing us down under the leaves

Crossing the lake beneath our feet
When I was scared of falling beneath
Slip into you, slip into me
Melt in your hands, hearing me sleep

Melt Info:

I find it very interesting that the term "one-trick pony" is often thrown around as an insult, as if a lack of diverse skills or talents is automatically a bad thing. However, there's something to be said for an artist that does one thing very, very well- lack of artistic variety be damned. Not For Radio (the moniker of The Marias lead singer Maria Zardoya) is an artist I would describe as a one-trick pony. Her debut solo album, Melt, is not one with much variety. Every song on the album can be described as lush, dreamy, slow-tempo, and piano-driven. The lyrical content of these songs can also be described as one-note; Zardoya explores themes of romance, heartbreak, and longing on every track. Based on what I've described thus far, it would've been very easy for this album to wind up being a boring, repetitive slog. Thankfully, Zardoya's talents are put to excellent use, and with a combination of poetic lyrics, soft vocals brimming with emotion, and beautiful piano melodies, Melt is a debut that proves being a one-trick pony can sometimes be more than enough.

Zardoya pours her heart and soul out over the course of Melt's ten songs. Although the lyrical themes never deviate from the central theme of romance, they at least approach the theme from differing angles and perspectives enough to keep the listener from getting bored with what they're hearing. For example, My Turn is written from the perspective of a partner who's reeling from the guilt of having done something to significantly hurt their loved one, while Back To You is about the feelings of longing for a lost partner while simultaneously accepting the reality that the relationship is gone for good. Although this subject matter is far from unique, Zardoya's expressive and imaginative lyrics help to elevate the songs and give them a more mature, adult feel. These lyrics don't feel as if they were pulled from the diary of a teenager; they instead feel as though you're listening to the candid, inner thoughts of a heartbroken romantic.

The instrumentals may be less-than-exciting, but they do more than enough to compliment Zardoya's vocal performance and contribute to Melt's overall melancholic feel. Most of the songs feature relatively simple, yet gorgeous piano melodies backed by soft percussion. There are occasional moments where swelling string arrangements can be heard, but those come few and far between. The only song to really shake things up in any meaningful way is Vueltas, which is the only track that's sung entirely in Spanish, and also the only song to set aside the piano in favor of an acoustic guitar. The song wears its Latin influences on its sleeve, and is one of the album's highlights because of it.

I'm incredibly happy that I decided to give Melt a shot, and I would advise anyone else to do the same if my description of the album's overall feeling appeals to you. Maria Zardoya has shown herself to be an amazing lyricist, as well as a gifted composer. As invigorating of an experience as Melt is, I do still think it would be beneficial for her to branch out ever-so-slightly with her future releases. If she were to keep releasing albums in this same style and with the same lyrical themes, I worry the returns would diminish with time. But for now, Not For Radio is, without a doubt, one of the best one-trick pony artists to debut in 2025.
