Sea Lemon – the moniker of Seattle singer-songwriter Natalie Lew – has teamed up with Death Cab for Cutie/The Postal Service frontman Ben Gibbard for a new song called ‘Crystals’. Check it out below.
‘Crystals’ follows Sea Lemon’s debut 2023 EP Stop at Nothing. About the track, Lew said in a statement:
Crystals was written after I attempted “manifesting” for a good portion of 2023 and found myself feeling really lackluster about the whole process. I wrote most of the song after coming to this realization that “manifesting” or looking for signs in nature or everyday life is mostly just a coping mechanism to get by day to day. When Ben came on and wrote his verse, I loved his added angle—rather than attempting lighter coping mechanisms, just submitting oneself to being upset and living in that darkness for a while can be a way to cope in and of itself.
Ben’s contribution to this song is so exciting for me to say the least; as a huge Death Cab fan growing up, Ben’s songwriting has inspired me since I got interested in songwriting myself.
