about
Shadow Sway's first single, "Take Me", is an Americana-tinged meditation on leaning into love.
lyrics
"Take Me"
(written by Daniel Gallo)
Love set the table,
so you know as long as we're able,
drink a toast to the passing of our time.
We can tell our stories,
fill our cup with fading glories,
measure hope against the dying of the light.
Blow out the candle so we can see --
Love only talks when we don't speak.
And oh, Love, won't you take me like a sweet breeze
A prayer on my knees
Take me like a melody
Like an acrobat swaying to the top.
My life was once a passport stamp,
diaries full of luck and chance,
the whistle of a passing train.
I filled every room with me,
a solitary symphony
'til nothing -- nothing else remained.
It took a lifetime to remember:
Love whispers for surrender.
Oh, Love, won't you take me like a sweet breeze
A prayer on my knees
Take me like a melody
Like an acrobat swaying to the top.
Oh, Love, won't you take me like a summer day
where time has its way,
rolling like a lazy wave,
like a cat stretching out to the top.
Oh, Love, won't you take me like a lion cage,
a world rearranged,
take me to a higher place,
like a swing...
Like a swing swaying to the top

Shadow Sway is a duo project born of the long-time musical collaboration between Halie Loren and Daniel Gallo. Together,
they create stripped-down, warm, authentic stories in songs and visuals that explore themes of surrender, loss, love, resilience, and longing.
