Anna Richter’s Hey is a hauntingly beautiful heartfelt indie folk ballad that strips away pretence, leaving listeners with naked emotion and unadorned reality.

Richter’s voice emdodies the raw feeling as it dances atop delicate guitar strums as she sings lyrics that speak of wounds still fresh, of a heart discarded yet somehow beating.

“Hey, do you recognise me / after you threw me away,” she asks, her query hanging in the air like mist on a cold morning.

The slow, guitar-driven melody acts as a lament, each note a teardrop falling on the remnants of what once was.

It captures the sound of memories dissolving as it presents love’s decay with unflinching honesty.

“Love withered and slipped away / now nothing is left to say,” Richter intones, her words devoid of flowery metaphors or sugarcoated platitudes.

The chorus yearns for impossible fixes, for one last kiss, acknowledging the naïveté of youth, unaware that even paradise harbours pain.

This realisation comes too late, leaving only echoes of “what ifs” reverberating through empty rooms.

Hey simply presents the aftermath of love’s quiet implosion—a space where answers are scarce and questions linger like ghosts.

Anna Richter has given voice to the specific ache of watching something precious slip through one’s fingers, slowly but inevitably.

Hey resonates because it dares to be small, personal, and utterly human.

Anna Richter Hey Lyrics

Hey do you recognize me
after you threw me away
hey I am still bleeding 
from the wounds that you left

Love withered and slipped away
now nothing is left to say

One last time to fix this
at least just one last kiss
we were too young to realize
there is pain in paradise

I look at your pillow
turns out I’m all alone
still waiting on something
to bring you back home

Like the river you come and go
eyes of silver and gold

One last time to fix this
at least just one last kiss
we were too young to realize
there is pain in paradise

No one prepared me for you
no one prepared me for you

One last time to fix this
at least just one last kiss
we were too young to realize
there is pain in paradise
One last time to fix this
at least just one last kiss
we were too young to realize
there is pain in paradise
