Video: Slow Me Down
From her self-titled debut album, Inside Out, the first single release was Slow me Down''. Sung acapella in her own voice as lead vocalist, then her voice stacked as backing vocals for the song, Emmy Rossum’s “Slow Me Down is a collage of lyrical images, all inferring that life sometimes is too much. Here are excerpts. Rushing, racing. Running in circles…getting nowhere. I just wish I could stop it. Save me, lead me, don’t love pass me by. I need you to slow me down. The blur of fast forward. I need to sleep. I’m falling apart. Somebody please, slow me down!
