Salt Ashes strips everything back on 10 + 2, leaving nothing but raw emotion, delicate acoustic strumming, and a voice heavy with love and loss. Known for her dark, pulsating synth-pop, she trades in the club lights for something more intimate—something that lingers long after the last note fades.
A tribute to her late father, the track moves with a quiet persistence, each lyric landing like a deep breath, each melody carrying the weight of memory. There’s a haunting beauty in its simplicity, proof that sometimes the most powerful moments come when all the excess fades away.
For fans of Laura Marling, Daughter, and the kind of songs that sit with you long into the night, 10 + 2 is a must-listen.
I dreamt of you last night
We were laughing and talking
I made fun of you like old-times
You said the coffee Mom made
Was better than mine
I smell your old cologne
Like I was inside the bottle
And your face was as clear as daylight
Saying you were not made up in my mind
Remember the little monsters
Oh I’d lay in your arms ‘till I was 10 + 2
Pretending to sleep so you would carry me
All the way to bed
I’d wait on the stairs ‘cause you’d be working late
Working harder than I could ever appreciate
But I see it now
I see you my eyes
Or when I’m planning the future
Or when I’m critical over every detail
Being just what I want and that I won’t fail
Remember the little monsters
Oh I’d lay in your arms ‘till I was 10 + 2
Pretending to sleep so you would carry me
All the way to bed
I’d wait on the stairs ‘cause you’d be working late
Working harder than I could ever appreciate
But I see it now
