Salt Ashes – 10 + 2

There are some losses that reshape us. For Salt Ashes, the passing of her father left a space no words could fill. Her new single, ‘10 + 2’, is her most personal and vulnerable release yet. Stripping away the pulsating beats and dark synths that have defined her sound, she lays herself bare with just an acoustic guitar, sweeping strings, and a voice heavy with love and longing.

The music video, premiered by Metal Magazine, is just as intimate. Edited by Salt Ashes herself, it’s made entirely from home videos—fragments of a life once shared. Grainy clips of childhood, moments of laughter, the small, ordinary gestures that mean everything in hindsight. It’s a love letter, not just to her father, but to anyone who has ever longed for just one more moment with someone they’ve lost.

LYRICS:
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
