Easy 06:50
It gets you from the deep It breaks you slowly in pieces Simple to recall These clouds won't give in Riding with the wind When did I get lost in the way? It's hard to flee the flood When rain starts pouring down There's no way to hide All those thoughts will come in Fighting against what's real Why do I get lost in the way? Easy This road ain't easy I wanna live peacefully My soul deserves it easy How long must I wait To finally feel free from the dues I paid? Help me to forget Because I don't know Into what I'll become I'm done with all the blame Far from all the harm Under those big blue skies I'll be ready to sprout No more walls to bring down Never scared of getting drowned All trails will lead me home

Pictures 05:06
Always waiting for perfection And perfection never comes We hardly have a picture of the two of us Guilt is all I feel for hiding Hiding me from myself You should’ve kept your promise The promise we both took at Jarry Park Why didn’t you take me? Why did you need me to prove? I always believed in you And I believed our love was pure Both naive and foolishly in love Gazing at the sunset before you part We were blooming, then fading out with the light That’s when the fall out start Distance now surrounds us You’re trying hard to keep me here I wanna hang on to the life you spread But death’s where I belong Why didn’t you take me? Why did you need me to prove? I always believed in you And I believed our love was pure

These Roads 04:31
Finally finding myself Am I good for you? Reaching the edge from the unknown Feelings I cannot undo Miles away from home and it’s clear I’m rising pure with no freight, no fears These roads Are taking me away from home And I don’t wanna lose you I know The darkest hour comes right before the dawn I known I known Always wanting to settle down But never really sensing the grown Why do I keep dreaming of you? I got tight to all those visions of glory Yes, I might get lost in this hunch But I’m dazzled by its glimmering light These roads Are taking me away from home And I don’t wanna lose you I know The darkest hour comes right before the dawn I can't stay in the surface You know I always need to keep diving down 'Cause when all it comes down to pieces Then when is the sense in living this life?

Once again I'm playing on this wooden ground Yet too soon to colour all my sorrow You drew a teardrop on yer cheek With yer thumb Take me in take me out, I'm shaded Take my heart, it's heavy I can't carry it My soul's a deep hole Do ya wanna ride? You’re with me everywhere I go You’re with me everywhere I go You’re with me everywhere I go He wrote I'll knock at your door, give me adventure I'll get on that plane just to show how to undress me Do me right, do me all night On your kitchen floor You’re with me everywhere I go You’re with me everywhere I go You’re with me everywhere I go He wrote I wanna feel yer warmth Slave of this mourn Bring me back Where I belong

Distance in time Flashes of light I’m coming home Got this feeling again inside Summer never ends In this sunset soul of mine Teenage thoughts Haunting me Every time Am I scared of running wild? The intensity before to… I lay on the ground And I hear the sound I can only feel the shore When I see wounded my throne Summer never ends In this sunset soul of mine Teenage thoughts Haunting me Every time Am I scared of running wild? The intensity before to…
6.
How to make you love me again? How to make you love me again? How to come back to the prairies that saw our hearts bloom? How to come back to the prairies that saw our hearts bloom? How to make you feel me again? How to make you feel me again? How to hear back all the colours and see the sounds of our wraith? How to hear back all the colours and see the sounds of our wraith?

Demons 04:48
Tired of wandering on my own I get so erratic spending too many nights alone I can't ignore what I saw Unfolded horizons embracing this orphan soul Demons come at dark To take me down Hotel rooms are so cold When there's no one to hold Serve me one more round and I'll be fine Ready to pass out in this killing trap Wanted to believe that love could cure me Speaking directly to my tangled spirit But I am no one to heal I am a shivered broken wheel Demons come at dark To take me down Hotel rooms are so cold When there's no one to hold Serve me one more round and I'll be fine Ready to pass out in this killing trap Wanted to believe that love could cure me Speaking directly to my tangled spirit But I am no one to heal I am a shivered broken wheel

I am broken And I miss you I’m broken And it burns in my chest I want you I’m broken My pain hangs in this thick air Razor blades cutting my breath Naked in this pang You slide Go take me back To the place that I belong Just take me back where I belong Go take me back To the place that I belong Just take me back where I belong Haunted in grief I love you Where is the light? I’m caught in this silence Where is my path? I’m broken I miss you I am broken and it burns in my chest I want you I am broken I miss you I miss you I miss you I am broken
9.
Sorry that I dragged you down Into this great escape of mine I wanted to live So fully this fantasy I needed a reason To set myself free Plains are filled by these echoes of you The day gets dark As you tear us a part Meet me in Cambridge town Mend this broken heart I wanna travel in time Go back to that hotel room 609 I would never risk you You’d still be mine I wanna travel in time Go back to that hotel room 609 I would never risk you You’d still be mine

Wild Beast 02:32
Don't come back for more I'll be dancing with strangers So I'll open that door To finally see the other shore Don't wait for me I'll be sailing through the canyon And I'll get to the sea Where water runs free Water runs free Seated at the dock I'll be gazing at the island And I'll think of our love Will I feel lost? For the strong winds and storms That've been hitting to the forests Left this wasteland That can hardly keep This wild beast like me This wild beast like me

UNCUT

“You’re going to fall deeply in love with her...just amazing”
GUY GARVEY, BBC6 MUSIC


“It’s like Glasvegas and War On Drugs had a little musical baby and what a bonny wee thing it is - a slow burning slice of beauty from Catalan singer and songwriter Joana Serrat”
RODDY HART, BBC RADIO SCOTLAND


"In 'Hardcore From The Heart' Joana Serrat mixes folk sensitivity from her earlier albums with the vast sonic landscapes developed within 'Dripping Springs'. It is an album about broken promises, where rich complexities combine to form a masterful and moving piece of work, a glorious slice of Americana that is infused with Catalan passion and fire."
FATEA


“ a painfully honest and moving album, which grows on you with each hearing as new and rich complexities are discovered. Hardcore From The Heart showcases Serrat’s best vocal performance to date and marks a literary peak in her songwriting career.”
GLIDE MAGAZINE


“Serrat reaches new heights with her music and in a truly breathtaking way.”
THE REVUE


"Splendid. Pictures could be an international hit by The Weeknd's last work, although this doesn't mean that Joana leaves behind her Americana touch in the instrumentation and guitar arrangements. Pay attention to the final instrumental part. Goosebumps."
JENESAISPOP
