Best New songMaggie Rogers — Split Stones
Posted by LetsLoop on September 21, 2017, 3:46 pm @Maggie Rogers, the American singer-songwriter who rose to fame after demoing her breakthrough Alaska single to a speechless @Pharrell Williams when she was studying at NYU, has shared a new song called Split Stones... and it could be her last one for quite a while.Described in a scribbled note on her Instagram account (instagram.com/p/BZRPrqXlQ3U) as her "parting gift" and a song she wrote alongside her debut Now That the Light Is Fading EP when she was back in college, Maggie went on to say:
"This is me saying goodbye for a little while. Here's to the end of the beginning and the start of everything else."
Referring specifically to her debut EP, she also said:
"My EP told you everything I felt during my last semester of college. It's time for me to tell you the story of everything that's happened since."
So, it looks like we won't hearing from Maggie for a while. But don't despair, she left us with a lovely parting gift and when she comes back it should be with a debut album to share with us all. We can't wait!
If you'd like to hear some more of Maggie's work, in addition to the wonderful Alaska, we highly recommend listening to On + Off, Dog Years, Better and Color Song.

Split Stones lyrics:
I can see it now,
tripping on split stones
trying to make hits so we could play them loud
picking at our souls
like we didn't know
just like we were only playing with the sound
trying to control what was so low
but I never knew how then to just go and let it out
get it out
But if you could fight
if you could choose
if you could say all the things you wanted to
if you couldn't lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose
if you could cry
if you couldn't sleep it off
if you could feel everything you've ever caused
if you couldn't lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
And I'm not saying i would always speak up
that it didn't creep up
on me all the time
i'm just saying there was a window
where you could've let go
in that place and time
laughing all it off like it was innocent
oh, but all i ever wanted was to get rid of it
and let it out
get it out
But if you could fight
if you could choose
if you could say all the things you wanted to
if you couldn't lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose
if you could cry
if you couldn't sleep it off
if you could feel everything you've ever caused
if you couldn't lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
and I can see us there
you staring at me
and me just praying for air
I can see us there
standing cheek to cheek
and counting week by week
wishing everything would be clear
I can see us there
I can see us there
But if you could fight
if you could choose
if you could say all the things you wanted to
if you couldn't lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose
if you could cry
if you couldn't sleep it off
if you could feel everything you've ever caused
if you couldn't lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
