Irish duo Lemoncello perform "Sunflower" in an acoustic Music Box session. The track is from Lemoncello's eponymous debut album, which was released this summer. Claire Kinsella and Laura Quirke formed the band nearly 10 years ago and have said that the long wait to release their debut was about it needing "that maturity and perspective to understand what it was we wanted to represent. That’s why we put it out as self-titled," when speaking to Hot Press.Watch Music Box on Independent TV, across desktop, mobile and connected TV.

00:16You were no ivy clingin' to this wall
00:22You were sunflowers standing strong and tall
00:29We all need to lean
00:33A stick of bamboo keeps the sunflower from drooping
00:40From feeling so blue
00:43But you were no ivy clingin' to this wall
00:49You were sunflowers standing strong and tall
00:58♪
01:04And you were no shadow he cast in his light
01:11You were the shadows he felt on the ceiling at night
01:18We all need the light
01:22We all need its guidance but we also need shadow
01:29A place to hide
01:32You were no shadow he cast in his light
01:39You were the shadows he felt on the ceiling at night
01:47I have to tell myself all the time
02:16I lay on the bed, I lay naked and bare, But I laid down the law before I let down my hair.
02:35His body turned over halfway through the night,
02:41And he turned on the light and began to write.
02:48But the words that came out of my mouth and my mind,
02:55Were they his words or were they mine?

03:24I have to tell myself all the time,
03:28I have to tell myself all the time.
03:41I waited for a flare, I waited for the mail,
03:50I waited for a message told,
03:54Was saved by no sale,
03:57With what words and what memories,
04:01I have left behind.
04:05I've made my own impossible bottle to find,
04:12Set it on the sea,
04:15Breathed in the blue,
04:18Nothing better, nothing worse,
04:22Nothing else I could do.
04:34Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah.
04:54I have to tell myself all the time,
05:01I have to tell myself all the time
05:08I have to tell myself all the time
05:15I have to tell myself all the time
05:19I have to tell myself all
05:22I have to tell myself all the time
05:26I have to tell myself all
05:29I have to tell myself all the time
05:33I have to tell myself all the time
05:36I have to tell myself all the time
05:40I have to tell myself all the time
