V1 You’re talking at him from below Trying to reach that little part of him you know Oh to think that you could know yourself by now How did you end up like this Another year you’re by his side Another year around the fireball in the sky Oh to think that you could learn to be alone Lonely would be more honest Pre CH Superwoman don’t you know your superficial Make believing that his heartache is your mission CH But your nobody’s saviour (oh no) You’re nobody’s saviour (oh no) You’re nobody’s saviour (oh no) Save your breath and go Save your breath and go V2 There’s something in the way he moves There’s grace beneath the darkest of his moods But he don’t show it when he takes them out on you No it is not your poison Bridge Evolution has you blind We feel a bond with those that suffer by our side If you’re to call this something other than your love Call it a grand delusion

about

Rowena Wise (fka Ro) returns triumphantly with ‘Nobody’s Saviour’, a mantra on misplaced heroism in a broken relationship, examining the breaking point when one loses oneself in the pursuit of saving others.

“I think love can make you stand too close to the painting to see it for what it is,” says Rowena. “I’ve learnt the hard way that you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, and you can’t love someone else if you don’t love yourself.”

Delivering her songs with candid immediacy, the power of live performance is vital to everything Rowena Wise. Crafted at The Rat Shack studio with Robert Muiños (Didirri, Julia Jacklin, Little May) on production, bass and lead guitar, Jess Ellwood on drums and Matt Dixon on pedal steel, ‘Nobody’s Saviour’ was captured live in a room, in just a few takes. This approach gives her songs a punchy, organic sound, bottling up the raw essence of her performance whilst leaving edges unsmoothed to show a more fragile side.
