“Full of seasonal melancholy, “Drunk For You” is no less spellbinding for the sadness that underpins it, rather it feels acutely real, like we as the listeners are somehow a part of the story.” - GoldFlakePaint

Charlotte Cornfield just dropped the most devastating beautiful song of the year - "Drunk for You" is premiering now courtesy of GoldFlakePaint. The delicate piano ballad, which chronicles a toxic relationship, is accompanied by an elegant and understated music video that came to life with the help of Charlotte's loved ones -

“Sometimes desire betrays logic, and you end up at somebody’s door even after you’ve talked yourself out of it, in all of the ways. And that feeling can be intoxicating. And it can be painful. I recorded this song after the rest of the band had left the studio. It was just me, in the big room at the grand piano, and Howard and Shae in the control room behind the glass. I remember I felt truly alone, in a way that I needed to be to sing it properly. We did two takes and kept the first one, and if you listen closely you can hear the piano bench squeaking a little bit in the background, which makes it feel close and immediate,” explains Cornfield. 

“We shot this video in Lake Ontario, my brother behind the camera and my Mom on the beach holding a reflector and cuing the song. There was something really special about it just being the three of us out there, in that magic blue hour light. We kept getting deeper and deeper in the water, and I didn’t even notice the rolling wave that came and swept me away at the end.”

The Toronto, ON-based artist's third single follows previously released album tracks "Partner in Crime" & "Headlines". Pre-order a limited edition copy of Highs in the Minuses now on Half White & Cyan. 

You watch me talk
And you watch me work the room
And you watch me drink black coffee
And I’m coming and I’m going
And I don’t need a defender
I don’t need a never ender
Don’t even need you to be tender
Just don’t be mean

When you pushed me away
Something in me atrophied
I was caught up in our sad ballet
Of fighting ‘til we fell asleep
You don’t even like my songs
You don’t even like me
And left in the light of day
The trouble is all you see

I’m walking over to your place
Will I get Jekyll or will I get Hyde?
See that pained look upon your face
Barely make it inside
Will you just take me in your arms?
Will you just let things lie?
Instead of twisting til you break ‘em
You’re gonna make the whole thing die

Now I’m just passing my afternoon unfocused and blurry
Lightheaded and drunk for you
