Sometimes you just need a sweet and sultry voice traveling over a torpid tune just in from pops-ville.  Such is the case with Deadwater, a track off of young Brooklyn Western Massachusetts band Wet’s recently released debut album, Don’t You on Columbia.  Check out the song via its official video below (lyrics at bottom).  We love singer Kelly Zutrau’s pure and unaffected vocals (which remind of Hem’s great vocalist Sally Ellyson) on the song in particular, but also the low-key effects layered on by the band.  The video also has multiple heartwarming moments to dull the song’s ache (beware of gratuitous kitten and kid-on-bike glimpses).

Afterwards check out a compelling remix of the song by Jam City.

Deadwater:

“If I could be stronger
And if you were just older
We might last this out longer
But the task just gets harder
And my face turned to red
From drinking all that dead water
And the again when you said
That I was my mother’s daughter

Shaky when he comes to me
Shaky but I believe
Shaky and I’m on my knees
There are better things for me
Shaky when I came to be
When they left, they left me in pieces
Shaky, but I believe
There are better things for me

If my legs were longer
They might carry us further
But we waited too long
And so the task just gets harder
And the thoughts that come in
They come on stronger and stronger
And it takes all of me
To just stay out of the water

Shaky when he comes to me
Shaky but I believe
Shaky and I’m on my knees
There are better things for me
Shaky when I came to be
When they left, they left me in pieces
Shaky, but I believe
When you left, you left for a reason

Ohhhh, take me to the things I see I see
My eyes can reach passed all that’s been laid out for me

Shaky when he comes to me
Shaky but I believe
Shaky and I’m on my knees
There are better things for me
Shaky when I came to be
When they left, they left me in pieces
Shaky, but I believe
There are better things for me”
