Taking root from the famous nursery rhyme “One for Sorrow”, “One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones” is the fourth and final single from The Japanese House’s second studio album In The End It Always Does. The lyrics find Amber Bain grappling with her own identity, the significance of her connection with...
[Verse 1]
There's a magpie in my tree shouting like he's trying to warn me
I don't know what he's talking about
When I look upon myself I don't see the same thing
I saw a year ago or two, which is new?
You seem to love me more when other people are around
[Chorus]
It feels something like I'm missing you but
Also like I'm missing me, I wanna be free
Maybe I don't subconsciously
Maybe things will change
No, that's just how I get into the trap
No one's ever gonna love me like this dog lying in my lap
No one's ever made me feel so stablе
No one has been able to
[Verse 2]

Really day to day I'd still just being walking in the park with my little Joni Jones
Trailing off on a call
Hurting you just happens, it's never my intention at all
[Chorus]
Yes, I can still hear you
I just wasn't paying attention
Baby I, I can take a lot more of the blame, did I mention?
I've been thinking about other people going 'round in circles
It's probably not that deep but I'm just playing the silly little game

This is my favorite song, and I wrote it as a piece ages ago when I was playing the piano and Chloe would record me playing the piano loads with my dog on my lap. We sat on the music for ages then Katie from MUNA came down to the studio and put the rambling lyrics over music in a Joni Mitchell kind...
I had this instrumental thing written with the piano and strings, and I had this idea that we’d have some sort of lyrical rambling over the top of it, kind of like an ode to Joni Mitchell. Obviously I love her so much and I named my dog after her. I went into the studio and said I’d written this wei...
