This morning I released my first-ever "piano" song. I've released some piano versions of songs before, but "I Wanted To Leave" is the first song that was written for the piano.

I have a history of being in beautiful places and having a nagging feeling to leave. Even when I’m with people I love, these places start to feel cold and less like home the more I’m there. I think life is full of these juxtaposed environments where we pressure ourselves to stay or go. I wrote this song in Paris, such a beautiful city rich in culture and history. And when I started feeling the urge to leave, this melody emerged.

I'm looking forward to releasing a few more of these in the coming months so I hope you enjoy.

It's weird. To me, the melody isn't sad or happy. It's weird. It evokes a strong feeling but I cannot categorize it, it's like it made me feel a peaceful void. It's weird and soothing at the same time.
Thank you for creating this. I love it.

Am I the only one that just listens to the first chord and knows it’s a fantastic song?

This song feels like autumn. Like dancing in the leaves as the world around you let its shining colors blend together. Like rediscovering your childhood town in muted tones. Like going over all your most ancient memories, the fresh scent of mormings, the crackling of the fire, the sounds of laughter and joy echoing in your head. It feels like coming home. Coming home after a long day and finding silence. Not a bad silence, just the quiet of the living sometimes. The quiet you make when you reflect of life. You go to make yourself a hot drink and you sit on your porch. You sit there for a while and your let the world wash over you. You feel clean, smooth and clear. You feel like hardened cristal. And you find yourself not wanting to leave that moment out of time. You belong here.

This song makes me feel like the ending of a war, a happines that all the chaos has ended but at the same time, pain and grieve for all the lost lives

[mochajay]

This sounds like the response or alternative perspective to "Where's My Love"

Ms. Lana del Rey has acknowledged this beautiful melody on her newest album. The track is called Paris, Texas. Thank you SYML for this!

[thiikkjj]

when u know u know, when u know u know, it’s time it’s time to go <3

[thehermit]

To me, this sounds like loneliness, both equally gentle and desolate, reflective and wistful. Its relaxing and serene with just a touch of melancholy and yet its beautiful

[marshakelly]

Once again, you’ve managed to create a language that souls speak. My son, who is autistic, falls asleep to your music all the time. I can’t wait to introduce him to this new one. Thank you.

[malenalol]

it’s like the response to “where’s my love?” cause he/she wanted to leave hence “i wanted to leave” has no lyrics cause he/she never actually said anything just left with no explanation and left the other one wondering where they had gone to

[sagenighthawks]

Coming back to here after listening to Lana's "Paris, Texas." Oh I have always loved this wondrous melody. And added with Lana's melodious voice, it sent me straight to heaven.

[ashform]

SYML and Sleeping at Last should write a song together. Your styles of music are so close but yet you each of your own flare!

[a_paradise_bird]

this makes you feel like you're hovering. love it

Found my new background song when I pretend to be the main character

[juandavidcaicedo]

I live in a country where it never snows. I've never felt the snow. But this song makes me feel like it's snowing inside my chest. I just can't stop listening to it.

[jessicar]

Thank you to Lana to introducing me to this song.

[brigittestevens]

Don’t ever change, the world needs to keep hearing your music, more than ever❤️

[Theshiz]

I would be able to tell this was SYML from anywhere, in the same way this song is telling me who I am without any words

[bambsy]

this song feels like realizing things wont get better for a while or maybe ever at all, but accepting it and finding peace despite it.
