Liner Notes

#heartache #loss #breakup #collab Patty says: When I wrote these lyrics, I imagined an achingly beautiful female vocal, filled with the pain of a heartbreak. I think Amanda (@housewystan) totally nailed it, musically and vocally. It was a wonderful experience collabing with her. I couldn't be more pleased with her rendition.

Amanda says: I was so excited when Patty sent me the email. I always love collaborating with her because her lyrics are cohesive, poetic and well put together. It makes sitting down with it enjoyable and easy.

Lyrics

Winds of Indifference Patty Lakamp © Copyright 2025 Music and Vocals by Amanda Wallace

A1 Winds of indifference Ravage the land Blasting the certainty, leaving only sand Striking like cannons Heartache be damned Leaving us miles from where we began

A2 Winds of indifference Hurt more than hate You never cared and I saw it too late Crushed by your coolness Cursing my fate Once I was welcome, now barred at the gate

B Section I know love isn’t all golden moments Breathless nights, bright days in the sun But it’s clear that we’re not a couple This love is only for one

A3 Winds of indifference Building offshore Churning with turbulence unseen before Temperatures plummet Chilling my core You wanted less, but my heart wanted more

Out You wanted less, but my heart needed more You wanted less, but my heart needed more

wish there was more than an hour left to post on FAWM, or I'd be going thru your catalogue! Your voice is amazing! Not to be messed with. What a great timbre and vibrato. So emotive, you really bring @greengrassgirl lyrics to life. Those harmonies rock! Pattys lyrics are so powerful. The imagery, although about a very painful parting, is actually incredibly beautiful, poignant, clever I might add. A3 and out, was a knockout as is the rest of this collaboration. Great work and congrats to you both! BTW Amanda, most of my family are PNW transplants and never turned back!

Its great when you can find a collaborator who can bring your vision to life! Absolutely, beautiful and sultry singing from Amanda which really brings these spectacular lyrics to life. The content is a great idea, that painful feeling of meeting indifference in someone you've loved is so poignant and such great execution. I love the pushing and pulling of tempo and those high harmonies really bring dynamism.

Great collaboration. Amanda's big soulful vocals are the perfect match for Patty's evocative lyrics. Nice dynamics, too.

Damn, girls. . . I totally get why Amanda was the "chosen one." She reminds me that life isn't fair when it comes to vocal equality haha. Just love when you double up and add those harmonies. The buildup of all things make this such a power song. Lyrics in A2 and A3 are devastatingly great.

Oh, Amanda - that emotion in your voice is just so gently heavy. And the harmonies add just the right weight...It's like a beautifully truthful reworking of "I Can't Make You Love Me"

Wow. This opens like a James Bond theme song. @housewystan your voice is crazy cool! Great lyrical work once again @greengrassgirl. I particularly enjoyed the line: “cursed by your coolness crushing my fate”…. Great work team!

Some PJ Harvey vibes in this. Very emotional performance, sounds heartwrenching. The lyrics are really strong I like the way the winds of indiffirence motif is developed and the rhyming is very nice.

Patty knows I ALWAYS love her lyrics. I think this may be my first time coming across your work, Amanda. LOVE the vocals--and the nice simple arrangment. Really a wonderful collaboration! ❤️

GORGEOUS. The title brought me here. It illustrates compellingly that indifference (rather than hate) is actually the opposite of love. I love "You never cared and I saw it too late" and also "Crushed by your coolness." The melody/vocals emote the narrator's anguish well.

Wow! This is so good! I sure hope you take this production to the nth degree as this can be a really powerful song! @housewystan vocals are perfect for this! Her music and melody heartfelt(you made it believable even though it isn’t your ACTUAL situation)! Sign of the a true artist! @greengrassgirl are incredible once again! Absolutely nailed it! I sure hope you do a full production of this! Blessings!

Fantastic lyrics as per by @greengrassgirl and interpreted exquisitely by @housewystan ! Beautiful harmonies Amanda, and no guilt should be felt as you're singing as the protagonist in the lyric, but I understand as some people assume that whatever you're singing about must be autobiographical which is clearly not the case here. Wonderful collaboration!

Moving performance of Patty's meaningful lyrics. Harmonied vocals were a nice touch.

woah. this has such a solid yet organic groove that it just grooves in the spaces. Wow those vocals and harmonies are just perfect. those opening lines are so good, such an oxymoron and really dramatic. what a fantastic collab!
